Hi everybody. This is my first post to a forum that I have been very grateful to access since purchasing my first Porsche a few weeks ago (1999 Carerra Cabriolet). While performing my first oil change, I noticed the hoses on the lower part of the engine need to be replaced (cracking). Car only has 33K miles, but age has taken its toll.

Anyways, I'm having a difficult time identifying these hoses (name?, part number?) so I can purchase. Any hints would be appreciated (like directing me to a parts diagram)!

 

autoatlanta,,find ur model and look under hard parts

 

Before you replace the hoses I would take a closer look at them (if you haven't all ready) to see if they are actually cracked or if it just the cosmoline chipping off...

 

Thank you for the helpful replies. If it is "cosmoline", then no need to change out?

 

You can just chip some away and check the condition of the hose underneath to determine if it is actually cracked or not.
