My Cooling Tubes Just Went Out (Cayenne S)

Well, I knew it was a matter of time but I did not expect it at 63,000 miles. My Cayenne S left me on the freeway last Friday. Fortunately, I pulled over quickly and I turned on my heat as high as possible when I say my temperature climbing.

I did have most of the parts for the repair but I need to rush to my dealer for a few small parts missing. It took me 6-hours to disassemble and remove the tubes. All my tubes only came out in pieces, this was the longest task. I took my time on cleaning and prepping since I only want to do this once.

It's back together now for the most part, a pressure test was performed with good results...no leaks. Now, I'm waiting for my Airlift 550000 to arrive to finish the job. It was surely a challenge, much more than changing out the drive shaft bearing support that went out several months ago. I'll post some pictures of my tubes installed later.
