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.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello all, got my 2000 996 cabriolet for a month, did some minor maintenance work and loving it. I changed the pollen filter, bonnet struts, cleaned the intake, throttle, refuel the cabriolet hydraulic pump and re-ran some wirings. So far so good until today. I decided to change the air filter, piece of cake. Then I realised the engine bay was full of dust and tried to clean it up. Problem comes, where I pulled a tiny hose by accident ... I was able to plug in one end, but couldn't locate where the other end is supposed to go!!! Tried searching the internet but difficult to find a clue, I'm hoping it's a valve hose and the other end is supposed to let loose to release air/vapour. Hoping to get some help from you experts here. Thanks a million. Is the other end is supposed to be loose end?

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

2002 look with a 2000 engine 😁 Filling the hydraulic oil is easier than replacing the air filter 😅 Cleaner than I thought

POST 3Original post

...the hose to nowhere. Very un-Porsche like, but it goes to nowhere on my '99 996, too. It must serve some purpose though... be vent

POST 4Original post

Vent or overflow or both. Point it down to the ground

POST 5Original post

I just checked my hose on my 99 996 and it goes nowhere. Simply points down as yours does in your photo. Must be a breather.

POST 6Original post

It is a breather vent hose for the power steering unit. Clips into a clip and points downward, and goes nowhere.

POST 7Original post

Nice car! You did the same thing I did with my cabriolet. That is, adding the turbo/C4S bumper and aero side skirts. It really changes the whole look... very nice!!!

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you all, much appreciated. Really helps.
