Help please. Need part # for red clip from ps return line

[986_c6]

Hi, as the title suggests, does anyone know the part # for the red retaining clip for the power steering return line that attaches to the power steering pump/reservoir?

I have been dealing with Suncoast Porsche for the past 2-3 weeks, they sent me a new return line, but cannot figure out which "red" clip is needed...argh!

Can you find it on this diagram?

That's the same diagram Suncoast referred me to...as you can see the return line entering the pump/reservoir assembly, but without the clips.

I remember reading a thread about ps pump replacement and this member mentioned that red clip. Maybe I need to contact him.

This is becoming a pita :ah:

Oh...thanks for trying Spinnaker!

In the parts list on the right hand side of the diagram there is a part listed just after #8 that is listed as
"999 230 578 40 - circlip for threaded joint". Could this be the correct clip. There is no part number 8 shown on the diagram, but if you follow the numbers 5,6,7 on the return line, this seems to be the next logical part on the line. It is listed as $1.00 so there is not a lot of risk if it isn't the right clip.

I think we caught that also, but the key word there is " threaded joint" where clearly the return line joint to the ps pump assembly is not threaded.
