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.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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

so i just bought a 2003 Boxster S a few months back. The car has been flawless but recently the drive belt ripped while i was driving and it tore up a hard plastic hose. The issue i am having is i need help identifying what this hose is and what it goes too. i added a picture for reference. TY

POST 2Original post

I'm trying to picture what would be snaking down tat side of the motor like that..... Power Steering. maybe?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i thought it was the power steering at first but once i followed line it goes under manifold. im leaning towards it being a Intake Manifold Venturi Tube. but not sure

POST 4Original post

AOS Tube? Dipstick tube? Coolant line to oil cooler?

POST 5Original post

if there was no fluid in it, then its the brake vacuum line. To me that looks like the powersteering line, but its a bit tough to tell from that angle, so like I said, no fluid in there, vac line.

POST 6Original post

that line going to the purge valve and end going to intake.

POST 7Original post

Looks to me to be the Vapor Canister Vent Line. Part # 99611012906

POST 8Original post

That is the Fuel Vapor Regeneration Valve tube. Replaced mine in 2014 on my '03 Base Boxster. I found it on Amazon for the best price. https://www.amazon.com/Porsche-97-04-Vapor-Regeneration-Throttle/dp/B00FAJFWEKref=sr_1_1?keywords=Porsche+986+%2897-04%29+Fuel+Vapor+Regeneration+Valve+from+Throttle+ Body&qid=1559315028&s=automotive&sr=1-1
