Default Right side Engine bay Electrical Box

Hi
Regarding photos of the engine bay, right side rear electrical box-

Does anyone have photos of the internals of this engine box, that is in original condition?
I would imagine all the connectors are in the plastic clips?

My connectors are floating free and I would like to refit them as per original.

Thanks,

Sorry, no pic at the moment, but yes, each has its location.

The small single conductor connector for the A/C magnetic clutch was floating around on mine. It fit nicely into a slot.

Hi Steve,
Thankyou very much for the photo.
I will get straight to fixing my connectors.
Interesting my car does not have the cable clamp next to the rear right light connector, but I have a spare.

This forum is fantastic.

An Aussie helping as well.................

Thanks

Hi Steve,
I noticed the internal gromet for the right side lights has come out,
mine was the same and difficult to put back in.

Thanks

The A/C magnetic clutch connector under the O2 sensor connector isn't fully seated in place. Maybe pull back some excess cable from the engine compartment.

Ahhh, you guys don't know what cold really is.

Now you know why my aunt moved up to the Gold Coast from Melbourne.

Before that, she'd vacation in Cairns.

Just ordered the missing plastic cable clamps for inside the connector box, from Porsche Australia.

Amazing they are cheaper in Australia than the US, they are only $0.50 each, this is a first.
Maybe Porsche Australia have finally gone from an exchange rate of $0.62 to what it should be $1.05

Yes, I know these parts come from Germany, but parts should be priced better then they are, in Australia compaired to the US.

It`s always worth checking , a friend recently saved about $30 on a brake rebuild kit from P.C.A for his 3.2 compared to getting it from O.S.
