Getting parts for these cars has been a pain

in the ***, since Porsche appears to have moved or is no longer stocking ALOT of the 996 parts in the US distribution center. Waiting weeks for a Venturi tube (99611065270), if parts like this, and check valves are failing, you would think they would be stocked in the US as well. I suppose many owners have no idea these parts aren't functioning as designed.

Frustrating ..

My supplier said there are none in the US. They can get it here from Germany in 1-2 weeks by air freight....

What's wrong with your venturi tube? Broken?

I must have been lucky as I got my check valve right away. That was a couple of weeks ago.
