They've bumped up to $4 a pop, getting to be worth the effort to adhese in place....

Metal clip which holds oil pressure sensor wire in place on digi dash cars. Try to find one car where it's still there.

Pics or they don't exist. Pretty sure I've never seen what you're talking about.

Still in place on my GTS - never found a part number for it.

This clip holds the 3-pin connector onto the pins of the sensor? As hard as they weld themselves to the pins, I can't imagine needing a retaining clip....


Gotta find one for the Cobalt car for the concours.....

By far and above anything else, in my shop.....

The circlips and washers that hold the actuation rod to the headlight motor arm......the rod is usually sitting there waiting for the perfect moment to fall off and a poke a hole through the A/C condenser and the radiator.

Take a moment to obtain those two circlips and washers, then epoxy the circlips in place, and save yourself some crazy grief.

What about the Bowden cable clip and metal bracket that is fastened by the torsion bar hex head bolt on the driver side.
No pic, 'cause someone "lost" mine.

air pumps.
j/k, but things seem to be going that way.

Or, wait... the exhaust gas testing tubes.

Or the ties for the ABS harness at various points in the chassis...

The original circlip's 900 116 009 01 are NLA - better to use 999 166 005 02 which has a fold over catch - can't come off.

Everything not bolted down in the back seems to walk off ... bulb kits, spare belts, plastic gloves, plastic mat, spare spark plugs, air compressors, tools, etc. .. and where the hell did all of those radios and radio manuals go?

I know! I've got three 928s up here in Indiana that sit outside all year round and none have that piece anymore. That said, one is developing exciter wire issues and all three probably have corrosion of the wiring harness leading from alternator into the 14 pin...

That's spme shiny-nice paint, great color, on that S4, Mr Chicken.

Thanks Landseer... It's Venetian blue.

I'm a firm believer in clay bars and Collinite wax.
