Thumbs up Found the leak- orange O-ring- where to buy ?

Thanks to all who chimed in on the "will not idle correctly and no deceleration pop anymore" question. While tracing down possible Intercooler, intake, vacuum leaks etc, I found the orange O-ring at the base of the intercooler blown out and hanging.

The question is now- where can I find one, Does anyone know the part number or have a small drawing they could shoot me? I usually cheat and use DC automotives dwgs as reference but my IT group now filters this type of website.

Thanks for the help, I hope and think this will fix my problem.-Mike

Drop me a call. I have them, or you can get from Porsche and sometimes ACE!

When I found a small chunk out of one of those intercooler o-rings on mine I went to the dealer and they wanted $20 each for them... lol

I called that popular place that starts with "P" and got them for $4 each.
Smear a trace of silicone grease or vaseline on them when you install them so they slide into place without tearing.

I'm going to take some more pictures this weekend but here are some- with the good camera and the orginal fuchs and one with the supercups. Note the yellow sticker on the glove box is the "how to start the car instructions" in german....

Looks great there Mike!

If you have the original startup sticker still intact I'm gonna take a leap of faith that you probably also still have the original engine bay stickers as well. If so, would you mind doing me a favor and sending me photos of them? Mine are long gone and I want to bring it to the original stock look and I don't know what a Euro 930 (like we both have) is supposed to have there.

I also want to take mine back to the original stock Euro bumper assembly as you have with the smaller bumperettes and side reflectors ... but this has turned out to be, as of now, an unachievable task.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Cheers!

p.s. I suspect you'll get at least one post suggesting you to lower the car (my photos resulted in many such recommendations!) however I'd like to someday do a poll of how many who run at or below Euro ride height have damaged front spoilers.

Stickers- I do not know if you can read them, the car is dirty and the camera not the best...
