Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

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

POST 1Original post

Parts trivia. Where did this come from? A little context - dropped the front subframe enough to swap in a Tarett front adjustable swaybar and this little guy fell down from above. Can’t see any discernible place where it would have come from, so was hoping someone might recognize it. Any ideas? Thanks

POST 2Original post

It's definitely an o-ring, but from where is the question. As soon as you start leaking something, you'll figure it out.

POST 5Original post

I think we need a tiny bit more information - year/trim package of your 987..?? You may want to look at: https://www.planet-9.com/threads/before-posting-a-technical-question-please-read-this.254535/ I think the O rings for the coolant hoses might be around that size.. I have some spares in the trunk of my '09 .2 - I could try to find them. Then I'd also have to find a quarter. Finding the quarter might be the hard part of this task (I refuse to take any change anymore..)..

POST 6Original post

Welcome to P9, @Trav7 -- Pretty sure that's too small of a diameter for the coolant hoses (987.2), @deilenberger - I ordered and extra one, but my Boxster "Cherry" and I are currently 1500 miles away for me to double-check. @Trav7 - Make sure you introduce yourself in the New Members section with a pic. Strong tradition here before asking tech questions. Dying to see your ride. Cheers.

POST 7Original post

Fun🤦🏼😆 metal, springy metal too. But doesn’t match the retaining clips for the coolant lines from what I can tell. May just have to run it and see if I can spot any leaks anywhere but there isn’t anything obvious. I thought maybe the power steering but the higher pressure hoses have crimped fitting and no where for a retaining clip of that size to go (I think)

POST 9Original post

I think it is most likely roadway debris. I'd expect a retainer spring to have holes to accommodate pliers. That piece looks very un- Porsche to me.

POST 10Original post

Looks a lot like a ball joint boot retaining clip, as others have said probably picked it up off the road.

POST 11Original post

I think you’re right. I spotted a similar one on a tie rod ball joint, so one popped off at some point in time. Either way, not gonna cause any big issues
