Loren...

I went to Sunset today to pick up a filter and an o-ring to do my oil change this coming Saturday. Jeff asked me if I wanted 900-219-009-30 a little tiny O-ring. He said it goes on the base of the cover (I think)...I checked the DIY but I don't see it anywhere...where does this little O-ring go?

Thx..

Jim

This is the O-ring for the filter cannister, and it is not little. It should be in the box with the filter. I think your part number is for the oil pan drain plug.

Tell Jeff to get back to me on the price for a rebuilt power steering rack....

Jim there are two "rings" you need. One is metal about the size of a penny and goes on the oil drain plug. The other is a rubber (like the one in the picture above) that goes on the filter cover. The rubber one for the cover should be in the filter box, and the metal ring should be taped to the top of the box.

The metal ring LVDell is referring to is an aluminum seal for the oil drain plug, part number 900-123-106-30. Dependent on who I've purchased parts from sometimes I get the seal taped to the filter box and sometimes I have to request it. Definitely get a new seal -- it compresses to form a tight seal after refitting and torquing the drain plug.

I could be wrong, but I think the little o-ring you're talking about is inside the filter cover at its base. I've never replaced mine but you've got me thinking that I should at some point.

That part number (900 219 009 30) is a screw plug M18 x 1,5 that goes in the top of the engine case. Someone misunderstood someone - perhaps the part number is different.

Hi Toolpants...

The O-ring in question is about the size of a nickel made of neo or rubber...its not the filter o-ring...

I spoke with Jeff at Sunset this morning. He said he didn't get an email from you and he apolgizes if he may have overlooked it.

I relayed the info about the rebuilt steering rack from you to him. Here's in the info Jeff gave me.

The sterring rack for the Boxster is the same 1997 and up.

Rebuilt Unit/Part Number 996-347-011-GX

The rebuilt unit is $544.30 with 2 year unlimited warranty. There are 3 in the US and will take about a week to get to Portland.

New Unit/Part Number 996-347-011-07

The new Unit is $788.48 with the same 2 year unlimited warranty. Available in Portland stock.

Core deposit is $150.00 on both new and rebuilt. Refundable only if core was not involved in an accident.

You can give Jeff a call at Sunset: 800-346-0182.

Plug for Jeff at Sunset: Jeff is a TERRIFIC guy and he knows his stuff!!!

Hope this is helpful to you...

Jim

Hi Dell...

Hows it going?

I heard a rumor that the 2006 (not 2005-this year's) Porsche Parade is going to be in Portland...

If thats the case you gotta make your way up here...neat drive and Oregon is nothing but back roads.

Thx...

That sounds great. I was in PDX last year for about a week when I went to go see DMB at the Gorge. I have a buddy that worked for Subaru near the airport. I'll keep my eyes out for conf of the Porsche Parade. If I am still on the west coast you can count me in!

Thanks for the rack info.

That little O-ring is for the turbo.  The oil filter cannister on a turbo is different than a 996/986.  Jeff must have thought you had a turbo.

You're welcome Tool Pants...

Yep. Jeff didn't realize I only had the rubber band wind up variant and not the turbo.

Thx...

I heard it was a good concert. Tom Petty is coming up to the Gorge, I think in late August or early September. I'm going to try and catch that one...
