Does anyone know if there is a replacement part for BEHR radiator's coolant reservoir connector? In the modern models it's screwed in and in older ones it's glued. Mine broke (20tkm since install) , luckily I had my old radiator which had threaded plug and all is good.

However, I started to think that I'm not the only one that has snapped the connector and would be supprised if BEHR or someone would not manufacture replacement parts, as the radiator itself is really expensive.

The plug has 3/8" threads with 1.25mm rise so a bolt with a hole-thru would do also, but I'd guess having a metal bolt in plastic housing equals new problems.. ?

Anyone got knowledge on this?

are you talking at the bleeder port thats screwed into the left hand side of the radiator if so these parts are replaceable
NOTE that they only get screwed in snug as the seal is done with an O ring.

NOTE its a wise idea when working on a radiator to have a new drain plug and bleeder port on hand put the old ones into the parts stash

Exacly that, sorry my lousy English & late-hour writeup...

The port on mine was very tight but managed to get the remains out with a flat-head screwdriver. I think what happened is this: there was not enough play for hose coming from the reservoir and that causes tension on the port - thus yanking it until it snaps.

Ok, so where go get them replacements?

The Forgotten On

You can get a replacement online for around $4. They are readily available and your local Porsche dealer might stock them and could easily order some for you.
