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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Found this clip under my Boxster after removing engine and transmission but can't find anything similar in many months of research about rebuilding/reinstalling engine and tranny. Anyone know what this is or if it even is Boxster related? Possible it could have just been passing through and not off my car.... It's a rather large clip, about 3" or so. Many thanks.

It is a hose clamp of some type, but doubtful it would be for coolant or anything under real pressure. I haven't been in my engine bay or under the car enough yet to definitely identify if it came from a Boxster or not. Being that large, it would likely be part of an air intake system.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
