Hi Everyone,

looking for some advice after my newly acquired in Sep of this year, MY2010 Cayenne Turbo (50k miles) had a sudden failure. I am waiting at traffic lights, accelerate (mildly) once lights change and see a massive cloud of smoke/steam. I pull over at the first opportunity within 100m and switch off the engine. Steam coming from below the right side of the engine bay and clearly losing coolant.

Any ideas on what this may be?
Has anyone else had a similar issue?
Could it be the dreaded Coolant Pipe failure which I know effected prior series cayenne turbos?

Car has been recovered to my local OPC, so should know more soon.

Really appreciate your feedback as this is my 4th Porsche and the first one I have ever had a failure on :-(

Many Thanks

 
I doubt it's the "dreaded coolant pipe failure" as these pipes run front to back along the top of the "V" and I would think they are all aluminium pipes on yours anyhow. I'm sure your PC will provide better feedback than those who can't see the car![;)]
