mxm1275 Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Hello all, Certainly been a while since I last visited- too long. Anyway, I need help with part identification. Can anyone identify the Porsche part number for the power steering pipe in the photo? I need to replace mine for obvious reasons. Does anyone know what part I need? Many thanks in advance Matt.

topradio Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Its up to you but 'they all do that sir' and the new one will go the same way. I understand that its a bit of a pain to change as well. Many people, including me have made a very effective repair with a stainless steel jubilee clip. This is mine in the top right corner of the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxm1275 Posted October 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Thanks. I was planning a similar temp job- thanks for the Jubilee idea. It was an advisory on the last MoT strangely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topradio Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 I've had that clip on mine for about 5 years. It was an MOT advisory before then but nothing since. If you think about it it's a perfectly good fix as its doing exactly the same job as the original aluminium ferrule - only better as it will never corrode.

edc Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Did this on my first Box in 2012/13 and again in 2014 on the current 550. Never been an advisory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topradio Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 I wouldn't use a traditional jubilee clip as I don't think you can tighten them enough. The type I used can be done up with a wrench really tight.
