928 part number issues
 

///

OUCH.....sounds like their should be s-o-m-e consistency?

Are there any specific parts you are searching for that show this problem?

Perhaps if you post them here, others may be able to help?

Sometimes the parts, for example injectors on my car, will have a number from the supplier, like Bosch 0 280 150 730 and a PET number from Porsche 928 606 119 00, which may be superseded by a similar or completely different looking number. Many suppliers can't seem to leave this mess alone, so 928.606.119.00 or with dashes, or 92860611900.

Many search engines freely include close matches, but google will do a strict search. I start with 928 606 119 00 and get back all the pages with those four sequences in any location. Then refine that with quotation marks around longer sequences, and/or add some key words.

Often the trick is to find out what something is commonly called. The plastic panel over the cabin air intakes and wiper motors, turns out to be called a cowl panel cover by many suppliers.

Easiest way, call one of the main suppliers and let them tell you what you need.

BTW looks like the injectors I need are Bosch type II 19 lb as used on Ford Mustangs, so nothing related to the numbers may be in the final part you use.

Yeah, it's the German car thing....change things in the middle of production/model year runs, thousands of dollars of rework just to get it out of the factory doors, etc.


I am certainly no fan of how they build things, but I just like 928s.

As my paint and body guy says, the Germans overbuild everything, but underbuild nothing.

The US car makers might use 4 bolts to hold a fender on, but the Germans use 30 bolts, ten pop rivots, and then tie said fender to four other body panels just to keep it together.


Just like your misgivings about the intakes.

They could have made a one piece intake, both 16V and 32V engines, but they didn't.

Why?

It certainly wasn't thermodynamics, or tuning per se, so why have 33 parts (16V intake) when you could easily use just one?

It's just a thought.....

Porsche was actually inconsistent in a lot of their numbers, also the parts that you have that end in 0R.. those are casting numbers NOT part numbers
feel free to check out our site, you can put in numbers any way you want and it will search for them, even partials will give you a list of possibilities

I called Pelican and asked, because I could not remember for the life of me.

Example:

928 606 119 00

928 = model part was design for, but may have been used on other models.

606 = Part type, i.e. trans, motor, body, dash, steering wheel and so on.

119 = Part number

00 = Part number

There are exceptions to the above.

89 928 for example:

Front crank seal 999 113 263 40
Seal ring inter- m-plate: 999 113 307 40

Than you start thinking you have it figured out, 999 numbers are seals! Than they throw this in. Trans sealiing ring 006 997 734 7.

Woodruff key for the crankshft is 900 118 014 00
Transmission dowel Pin: 900 012 163 00

Circlip part number: 113 415 531
Screw part number: 113 415 869

Some bolts and washers have part numbers that start with an "N'" N 011 666 7

P.S. If anyone has the time, this subject is worth publishing!
