Leading evidence: 'Replace coolant' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'current hard line is a wrong part' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace coolant' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I had to change a hardline when I changed one of those lines because the new one was actually an updated part but the dealer never told me that the corresponding hard line had to be changed until, I tried installing it and ran into a similar situation like you.

Looks like I got it all out using this method, just wasn't sure if I should run water through the system to remove all residual orange coolant before refilling with the pink porsche stuff.
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.

Installing a new thermostat to tank hose, having issues fitting the second leg from the bottom up to the u shaped hard line, doesn't look right. The old hose was the same way, any advice. Some pics of your would probably help our alot.
It's genuine porsche, looks like the hard line is either too curved or too long maybe? Im stumped. The way the old one was on the shoved the hardliners all the way into the rubber and straightned the hose out. Looks odd
Even if that hose leg goes all the way on it still kinks and puts the main part of the hose riding against the block. This is the same pat number hose that was on the car when I bought it and the way they had it installed was causing it to kink and twist as well.
Is the metal pipe your trying to attach to the correct part? is there any play in it on the other end? In your 2nd pic, looks like if you rotated it about 30deg clockwise the alignment would be better.
I guess that's possible it's incorrect. It will not rotate and cannot be adjusted in any way. The engine is low milage. There is no part number visable on the rigid tube.
There are multiple versions (different MY, transmission, etc) of that hard metal line and the rubber hose and they need to match. Check part 18 and 32 here

Just google the part numbers for images of the parts.
Considering all the different part #'s shown in the Auto Atlanta drawing I'd think there's a good possibility you've got the wrong hose. Why not order a few different ones and send the ones that don't work back?
I suspect your current hard line is a wrong part.
From the autoatlanta site, your hard line should be 99610624354

which looks like it will mate better with your hose. It doesn't bend back like a hook in your second photo.
That's unlikely. Check out the second and second last photos of the engine here

You can see it has the same hard line as yours (hook like) and the hose that connects to it has a shorter section compared to the new hose you got. So seems like you need to find the old style hose or switch to the new metal line (assuming that new line will fit).
Intresting, we'll I already ordered that new tube so we'll see how it fits. I searched forever and couldn't find any other style rubber hose with a shorter fitting.
If the other two ends connect up as expected, a pair of tin snips could probably be applied to the excess hose...
I know that RL frowns on any kind of non-sanctioned repair, but surely trimming a rubber hose to the correct length doesn't count as Southern engineering...
Are you 100% sure your old hose is exactly the same as the new one? Many times the updated parts are at first glance look the same. I had to change a hardline when I changed one of those lines because the new one was actually an updated part but the dealer never told me that the corresponding hard line had to be changed until, I tried installing it and ran into a similar situation like you. THEN when I called them they told me the hard line needs to be replaced.
He said his old hose had the same problem and was hacked already.

It's installed, fits wonderfully. Just waiting on my vaccum bleeder to come in so I can refill the system. I was thinking to fill it water first, run it to circulate it, than drain again and refill with the new porsche coolant. Any tips on getting all the air out with the bleeder,should I still jack up the rear?
The dealers and the majority of garages don't jack up the rear as they use the bleeder system as well. But it couldn't hurt - just to assist in the process.
Glad you got it sorted.
Why fill it with water first? Are you replacing ALL the coolant?

Great writeup by Ahsai! Looks like I got it all out using this method, just wasn't sure if I should run water through the system to remove all residual orange coolant before refilling with the pink porsche stuff. Maybe I'm being too picky.
