Not sure what to call this thing... When my alternator belt broke it sliced a small hole in this air flow boot. Now it's a big hole causing my Check Engine light to come on.

Any ideas on what I'm looking at as far as a repair? Can I order the part and do it myself?

thanks,

I think that part is around $45.00 USD. It has 2-3 bolts holding it on and is very easy to replace. Takes about 5 minutes to do. You need to get it replaced as it helps airflow over the cylinders. Very common failure. I have replaced mine.

Thanks Mike,

Are there bolts on the bottom that I can't see? I see the ones on the top, but I can't tell how far i goes down and into the engine compartment - and how it connects down there...

Oh - and do you know what it's called so I can do a search on Pelican or Sunset...?

thanks,

Lik Mike said, you can buy this from pelican or Sunset for $45 and replace it yourself. Very common and simple to replace. However, that hole is not what is causing your CEL.

Do you know which CEL code are you getting? Did you use OEM Porsche belts?

jclanin

Bummer to hear that. Yes - OEM Porsche belts.

Once you get the new part in you can see where the bolts go. Just use Pelicans PET to source the part number.

Is this the part?

Yes, that's the part.

I wonder what is causing your CEL. Do you have a scanner? If you're close to Alpharetta, you're welcome to come by so we can read it. Also, Pepboys will scan it for free and tell you the code.

Note that 95s and some 96s have a different part than later cars. I think when I had Sunset quote this it was less than $45.

From my quote:

if i remember you have a 1996 so 98% use 99310640300 $29.44
1995 and very few 1996 use 964-106-403-02 $31.95

Arena993

The new one I have is part #

964-106-403-02

Let me know if you want or need it. Like the PM said $20.00 delivered. Let me know
