I always wondered why coolant ran through the AOS but I was too lazy to look into it further (seemed a little risky to me to have air, oil and coolant all running through the same hunk of plastic-and it doesn't help any to have that stupid plastic coolant junction right near the idler pulley where it is so easy to break either).
Leading evidence: 'Run through the aos' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run through the aos' (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.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

Thats funny because I actually broke both ends of that little plastic piece behind the pully, from what I understand that part isnt really needed for anything other than just being a bracket to position the hose and stop it from being hit with the belt so I made my own OEM version using this little brass piece I found at home depot thats used for some sort of fuel lines for a lawnmower or something along those lines...the inside diameter is the same as the plastic OEM diameter too
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

So i order the aos for my 99 carrera but when i go to install it there are 2 extra hoses that Im not sure where Im suppose to connect to??
Any one know if i can just route hose 1 to hose 2 directly as the new aos doesnt have the plugs???
Part number is 996.107.02...it should be oem..ive seen other threads with the same year as mine that installed the same aos but they didnt have these extra hoses
My main focus was the bottom bracket and it looked like the right one as I thought there were only two different designs...luckily the dealership near me had the one I needed in stock so everything is ok now
I just wanted to say that this is the kind of information that makes this forum so great. I always wondered why coolant ran through the AOS but I was too lazy to look into it further (seemed a little risky to me to have air, oil and coolant all running through the same hunk of plastic-and it doesn't help any to have that stupid plastic coolant junction right near the idler pulley where it is so easy to break either).
So I have two questions: 1. If the newer one does not circulate coolant how does it handle extreme cold issues (position on engine or something else)? 2. Would it cause problems to not use the coolant section of the AOS (i.e. bypass the coolant section-I carry a spare junction in my tool roll) if the most extreme cold your car typically experiences is heavy-sweater-weather?
I've only read Posche literature that describes why the coolant is used for the AOS and I've never seen any material explaining why it's not needed in boxsrer/cayman. I think AOS position is a good guess.
If the ambient temperture is never close to freezing, I don't see any issues bypassing the coolant hoses to the AOS.
Unfortunately living in Chicago does bring in pretty harsh weather so bypassing wouldn't haven been too great of an idea...at least now We know what that actually does for the car
