Excellent video, great description saved me time knowing all the hidden bolts. I ordered a tank of Amazon as well. How is your tank holding up?

Dan, I just purchased a 05 Cayenne Turbo, owner said the T's and Coolant pipes were converted to metal. However after only 3 days I got a low coolant warning. I filled the coolant and its leaking down the passenger wheel well. I don't see any leaks from the coolant tank. If it's leaking on the passenger side is that a sign it's the coolant tank?? What signs did you notice it was the tank? Or do you think its a bigger job?

Michael Lines says:

Great stuff again. How did you identify that it was the coolant tank leaking?

I recently did the metal tee upgrades, pipes, etc… After getting it all done I accidentally overfilled the coolant tank. Took it for a spin and I was leaking coolant on the passenger side with liquid ending up as far as the the air filter box. I pulled and held 23 lbs with my Airlift purge/refill tool after adding back the coolant. I'm wondering if maybe it is my coolant tank possibly. I can't quite find where its coming from.
