Porsche states that three leaking radiators on a 2003 996 with 18,000 careful miles is a 'after sales' problem and not a 'manufacturing defect'!
There are no visible stone chips on the bodywork so, if the radiators are being damaged by invisible flying objects, why are they not protected by a mesh behind the air intakes as on most other vehicles. This vehicle cost nearly £100,000 when new so surely at that price the radiators should be protected.
Porsche have just quoted approximately £2,500 (including fitting) to replace the three radiators!
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
