Question
I have a 356C. This spring I’m detailing my engine: painting the engine tin and coil and so forth. I bought two tiny rubber plugs but wonder where they go. The part number on my invoice is 539-06-116. — John C., Sacramento, CA.
Answer
Good question. The Porsche Parts Catalog and the Porsche Electronic Catalog (PET) just show those little plugs off to the side of the fan housing, with no real indication of where they go. Take a look at the photo below. In the background is the fact that the fan housings started out from Volkswagen and were modified by Porsche as the years went by. You can see some metal plugs spot-welded here and there, which close up holes used in other applications, i.e. Pre-A and industrial engines.
You will need two of these plugs. Note, one of the plugs will be hidden after the coil and oil filter brackets are installed.
