If you are pulling the engine, replace your AOS with the Ultimate AOS, and it will delete that part.

Suggestion · Original poster
Since I'm pulling half of the engine bay out, do you think I should be replacing anything else while I'm in there?

yes there is room for something better than a stupid one time use Otinger clamp.
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.

Plastics in these cars are so brittle
In attempts to get to the AOS I snapped this plastic coupler.
It looks like a plastic bracket that attaches to the motor and connects two water lines with an 8mm hose coupler. Will get something from an autozone for a quick fix, but want a proper solution ultimately.
Can someone help me identify what this part number is, please?

If you happen to install the Ultimate AOS you'll be able to delete that coolant line all together! Between that and UAOS are two things you'd never have to worry about.
JTT, totally agree with you to replace that part and i bought the part, but what has me a little stumped is the oetiker clamp holding the lower hose to the connector. I have to cut off the clamp and put on a new one and there doesn't seem to be enough room between the case and the serpentine belt to fit anything other than another oetiker clamp. I got the clamps and I think I got the right tool, but need to bench test how this works or have you got a better idea?
Cool. Thank you all for the answers.

So I replaced that part today with the URO part and frickin part is made of pot metal so it snapped off as I was tightening it in place. i got the damn oerliker clamps on there just right and now have to start over. I'm zip tying it in place until new parts show up.
Update. The part being sold by FCP Euro is a better design than the original or the URO metal one that broke during installation. Thank goodness for Fedex overnight. I have a Concours on Saturday!
