Changed my oil the other day for the first time on this car, a 991.2 C2S. Found two issues, the left fan plug clip (a slide on/off affair from the plug itself) is damaged and the rubber grommet on the left side (Porsche calls them “clutches) holding the branching plastic shroud in place was missing. I was able to find the replacement grommets but my dealer says the connector can only be replaced by buying an entire new fan.
The broken connector works well enough (only half missing) but my ocd is kicking in. Need a correct plug connector! Pretty sure it was already broke since that plug lifted right up off the shroud without resistance. The other side needed a forked trim tool.
pics attached, anyone have a source for this connector?
There are two that look similar, this was the first one I found, but examining my pics more closely, its actually this one: 155-30702 and they were backordered. Found a few on ebay.
Thought I would resurrect this thread in case anyone was in this predicament.
The irony, I pay the dealer for all service, because I have a CPO Carrera T and I drive it as it should be on a regular basis. I also over-service and have the oil changed every $5k, because it isn't babied. Of course, when I checked while doing some detailing, not one but both clips where destroyed. So, I hunted a batch of 10 down thanks to the part numbers found in this thread. Given, I only needed 2 and maybe a couple of spares, I have 6 up for grab, if anyone needs them. Happy to mail them for $3 a piece within the US only (Just DM me). BTW, I still can't believe that dealers don't have these on hand given I'm sure they break them regularly. One even had an improvised zip tie clip.
Some pics of the new clips and one of the mangled one. Also, notice the plastic trim tool in the background. This is what the techs are supposed to use. Instead, you know they are likely prying them off with either screwdrivers or one even looked like they took a pair of pliers to the head!

hi, do you still have them? I’m in need of a couple. Thanks!
