I ended up getting similar hoses from Super cheap and used a brass elbow to get the tight radius on the smaller hose

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have been slowly rebuilding the original engine I blew on my 1981 924 Turbo, over past 5-6 years. It is Australian delivered, all matching numbers, very good condition body (origional paint) and interior ( pin stripe).
After a full rebuild and then Hartech Auto doing work on the ring gear and cold start valve, vacuum system the engine is running rich and I have run out of patience and money to complete it.
It starts and runs, but as I said running rough as possibly mechanical injection system, or vacuum system or...?? Has been fitted with Mercedes fuel distributor by rebuild mechanic - which may be the cause of the woes ( I have origional Porsche fuel distributor still).
I am not overly mechanically minded and have spent as much as the good lady will allow, so I am looking to sell this as a nearly complete project rather than "needs a tune". Hopefully honesty pays - it hasn't so far.
Car has been garaged for 6 years and has about 120k on the car but only about 20 kilometres on the new engine.
Origional sun roof leather bag, origional owners manual with services recorded from Hamiltons Sth Yarra.
Great car and reluctant to part with it. Price is very low for this model in this condition, so please genuine enquiries only
Too much work and extras to write on here. Many pics and specs can be provided if interested. Mt Eliza pickup

Must stop looking at this

The 924 was my first Porsche back in 1981 (brand new) and I had so much fun in that car ( both on and off the road. Note sunroof comes in handy. Will let you figure that one out

too bad I dont live near you. I'd love to come round and try to get it running. Sounds like it is most likely your fuel dizzy.
Good luck with the sale. I'd certainly buy it if I was in the position too.
Congrats Ant! There are several places you could get parts depending on how quickly and how much you wish to pay
Local, could try your Porsche dealer, or BWA or Autohaus (both Sydney) or from Pelican Parts (or the like in the US). good luck!
http://www.masterparts.com.au
, cheapest place for filters, just happens to be in Australia (bonus)
https://www.partworks.de
limited items, cheap, very fast shipping
Rockauto, basic maintanance stuff, cheapest of US suppliers
Fcpeuro, good selection, good prices, lifetime warranty on items sold
Lindseyracing.com for nice shiny goodies
Summit racing, for general performance stuff
Watch out for postage costs from the US, a small piece of trim might be $3 but postage can be $95,
Hi Ant,
That hose is difficult to get, it was the only hose I didn't replace in 2018. However earlier this year I purchased one, I'm sure it was from design 911. Tried logging into my design 911 history however it wasn't playing the game. Worth have a better look there, if you can't find something let me know and I'll dig a little more.
show a photo of your hose or the Katalogue diagram. I have just replaced a couple short heater hoses for my 944. Took the original to Super Cheap and bought bog standard with the closest inside diameters & shape and cut down to length.
Hi Brian,

37 - 477 819 725
The same part numbers that use an "A" at the end are from the newer HVAC system and those hoses are different
Hey Bear, Design 911 only have the A's
Cheers A
My replacement hoses were simple elbows that I cut down from standard hoses.
I am sure someone on the forum will suggest a way of piecing together your shape, length & diameter out of multiple available hoses. You may jusy need to sleeve your pieces together.
Good luck.
Also for spares try

. Jeff is always saying give it a go, so if you now have part numbers give it a try.
@Jeff
would also be interested in the feedback I bet
