Hello Rennlisters!

I took a look under the hood today a noticed a couple of issues that urgently need my attention. The hose that goes from the Power Steering Reservoir to the P/S Pump somehow got up against the headers without my noticing and is now burnt and cracked so badly that i am amazed it hasn't given out yet. Does anyone have one of these, or a part number for it?

Also does anyone have a new-ish or pretty nice Coolant Expansion Tank / Reservoir laying around that they want to sell? I've been ignoring mine for a while and it's getting nasty and developing a fracture.. definitely time to replace it.

All help is very much appreciated, thanks guys!

I have the coolant tank, but it is yellowish...let me know if you want it.

 

I have the tank and the hose. I will be in Chicago-ish (Bensenville) Wednesday night or Thursday morning.

 

Why not purchase these parts new? They aren't that expensive, and a new coolant reservoir will certainly last a lot longer and look better (clear) than another old one that potentially looks like butt and could fail anyday. If you're going to do the work........why not put something in there you aren't going to have to replace again soon?

 

We get these both from Porsche, and aftermarket. Tifo is right, for the cost of new-it makes sense to replace the originals if you want the best looking piece. I replaced both tanks on my 951, and it made a heck of a difference in the way the engine compartment shows. I'll try to locate a pic.

 

Mine currently looks like this-

 

Power steering Return line (out of reservoir) part number 944 347 459 03
Reservoir with cap part number 928 347 015 05

 

WOW that is a gorgeous engine bay. And a gorgeous reservoir. Wow.

Unless i can pick a nice one up on the cheap locally (might happen) I am definitely going to spring for a new one.. i mean that is sharp. Thanks for the advice everyone!
