Porsche / VW / Audi Part number Cross Reference?
 

Hi,

I did a few searches before posting this.

Is there an online resource for Porsche parts that are also the same part on a VW or Audi?

For example I need a 944 105 131 00 which is a small plug that covers the hole in the cam housing right next to the distributor cap.

This is a small part that costs less than $4 online. But with shipping becomes a $14 part in a hurry. Plus it would take over a week to get it.

I though that if I could walk into a VW or Audi dealer, tell them the part number that matches the VW or Audi part number I will walk out with what I need and not have to #1 wait a week and #2 pay for the shipping.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Joe Mama

Try calling the vw dealer first. However you will soon notice that alot of the VW parts are NLA.
I've looked at a lot of 944's and none of them have had that plug.

becouse the 2.5 motors in the 944 are all porsche and not vw or audi it may be hard to find it at a vw/audi dealer ?

Yeah I thought it wold be a bit of a long shot to but it was worth a try.

For the future it would be interesting to see a cross reference of parts. Mostly bolts and misl parts.

I've been sent to VW by my Porsche Dealer quite a few times for parts. One part, a spacer I think for the AC, was 1/3 the price at VW and the Porsche dealer couldn't even order the part anymore.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Google for "porsche 944 spare parts and cross reference" and you shall find. ;)

Here is another solution until you put together your big order of parts from Pelican.

Get a short 1 1/2 inch tire valve stem new or used (walk around the parking lot of PEP Boys) and cut a portion of the top off.
It fits snugly in the hole and looks OEM.

Damn John,
That's pretty ghetto -- but I like it ;)

Yea, that's a pretty decent "fix". But If you could find a grommet style rubber hole plug (of the appropriate size), it might look a bit better.

I only use "Porsche" valve stems :D

The correct plug is $1.50 here on Pelican and I have 2 for/on my cars.

I just wanted to show a temporary fix until joemama orders more parts.
Watch for photos of engine shots and count the number of missing cam housing plugs.

Pelican offers free shipping with a $75 order and just a few little worn out parts will add up to $75 (like my Monday order). A new air intake boot, a couple of filters and gaskets. Cam and alternator belt, cam housing plug========free shipping :)

Glad to hear that, John. Anyways, I must have never seen the correct plug, because I had no idea they were white (must be made of nylon plastic). As for me, I really could care less about having that small hole plugged. But then my cars are not "show" cars, either.
