Unhappy Urgent help needed, I broke a Y connector.

Hi, all,
Finally I got time to do the PCV valve on my 2008 Cayenne Base (V6 3.6). After removing the intake manifold, I found a bit coolant leak at the flange on the back of the engine. The flange is aged so I change it, but when playing with the hose clump, somehow I bend the hose too much and break a 'Y' type connector. Please see the picture. This part is normally wrapped in silver cloth.

Any body know what the part number for this one? On the part, it shows "PA6.66F30K'. Thank you so much.

It seems like Porsche wants you to buy the whole hose assembly $$$$ 955-106-061-10. I think this VW part number might do the trick 1J0121087D. Punch that into google.

Best

Thank you, PartsGuyGT, I just ordered one 1J0121087D. None of the site says this one fit Cayenne. If this works, it can avoid removing all the hoses.

Essentially, all the plastic parts are aged after 10 years. I remove the coolant flange, the flange and seal all look good, but a soft touch smashed flange

Julian, I got "1J0121087D" today, disconnected two hoses from that 'Y' type connector, it is actually a lot smaller that "1J0121087D", so I cannot use it.
Interesting thing is I found the overflow hose from upper coolant reservoir only allow one direction flow. It only allows flow from bottom to the coolant tank, not the other direction, from the tank downward.

Anybody know why the hose forces one-direction flow? From the coolant tank side, I can suck the air but cannot blow air into it.
I always thought this overflow hose is just a regular hose, looks like this is not the case.

Thank you very much.

Hi, all, I managed use a brass barb tee to replace the connection. size 1 x 1 x 3/4, the overflow hose now is inserted into 3/4 barb and then sealed with Self Fusing Tap.

And for future things, that PA66GF30 number is similar to numbers you'll see lots of times on plastics. They aren't a part number, but they just tell you what kind of plastic it's made of.
I think the PA66 tells you the plastic is that type of PolyAmide (PA) - 66 is one of the common choices.
And GF30 means it has 30% glass fibers (GF).
Not that any of that really matters for what you really want to do, but when you see numbers and letters like that on plastic, it's not a part number, it's more of a material identifier.

Good to know, thank you very much!
