It's easy to replace the hose, but certain to break again if not modified.

I suggest you fix the trim piece that causes the break, so it won't recur.

Thank you Red for the details.

@ReidMcT Thank you! Great information!

Update, the dealer is replacing under CPO. There is another leaking piece next to the reservoir they needed to order, so I will go back next week for the final fix. Without a doubt I certainly will modify the trim piece as in the references to avoid this situation in the future.

Yesterday I had my windshield replaced. This time I did not use the dealer because I did not want them to put my wheel alignment back to stock.

I had a two days schedule on track this coming weekend but due to a pending rain storm that got canceled. A new possibility of one day on track has emerged, hope that happens. Still have Laguna Seca scheduled for next weekend.

I took my car in for its low milage four year service. I decided to use my local indie shop - they were over $1,000 less than the dealer. The service included an inspection, oil change, new spark plugs, brake fluid flush, and new cabin and engine air filters.

Its time. Finally arrived at the dealership. Will be taking delivery TOMORROW!

Very nice! Enjoy!

Started out on Sat with a run that include multiple 911s, a Boxter S, CGTS, 2 GTSRS, 2 Lambos, 2 McClarens, Aston Martin, Vantage, BMW M3, Cadillac Blackwing and a Corvette Z06.
They were on a 2.5 hr drive not including the drive back from up by Breckenridge and I only had a few hr to spare. Cut off in the middle and went over Guanella Pass to come back home. Up above 11,000 ft there is a smattering of snow and a storm was rolling in. Stopped by a hydroelectric lake before getting back to civilization. Fun run of over 150 mi..................need more time on the weekends!

Every time I get in and drive the 718 GT4 (and the GTS), I am reminded as to why I love these cars so much. The well laid out and comforting interior, the easy to read (and classy looking) gauges, the satisfaction of driving a perfectly balanced car, the responsiveness, the relative simplicity and a whole lot more. The 718s look so very good too!
