Yesterday I went for a 30 min drive. On my way back home I notice some white smoke coming from the back, it was more like vapor. I pulled to the side and turned the car off. when I checked there was coolant all over the engine. I hat to call a flat bed, the good thing was the only took like 20 minutes to pick me up. Today, I was specting the worse (engine failure). The engine never over heated, and it sounded OK, So I was hopeful. I found a little coolant house that was broken ( see picture). The plastic connection that joints this 2 houses together broke. Looks like and easy repair. Can anybody tell me the part #, or how to ask at the dealer for this plastic connection? May be I will show them the pictures.

 

unable to post pics, Can some one do it for me?

 

There might be a part # stamped somewhere on it if you look closely.

 

i can post the pics up if you send them to my e-mail. drjustinrichardson@hotmail.com

 

There ya go!

 

thank you...

 

Can you show me the shape of the hose you have in your hand? I might be able to help you that way....

 

i will tell you the part number in exchange for a hydrocodone prescription

 

oxycontin works much better. specially if you chew them...

 

will try to take more pics. but if you look in your car is the one right next to oil cap tube, close to the alternator.

 

Don't have the time to puts around in the garage today, but by the shape I can check the diagrams for you. You can E-mail the photo directly to me: eli@fastforwardwheels.com

I have not had time to take the little plastic part that broke off yet. I guess I will take this to the dealer to see if they can find it for me. It's funny that this 50cent part can cause so much damage. It's just wierd that it broke just like that. I will keep you updated.

 

Talked to Rick at Suncoast. He took his time and e-mail me all the diagrams. Still could not identify the connector that I needed. I asked him to take a look at my posting here and he did. He also went to check another 996 on location just to make sure. Ten minutes later he had what I needed, the best part it's going to cost me $4.00 . This is not my first time doing business with Suncoast and every single time they have gone the extra mile for me.
