Barry 924 Martini Posted 14February, 2018 Report Share Posted 14February, 2018 I started my 1977 924 Martini up this morning and reversed over a pool of fuel on the ground. Further inspection was fuel leaking out of both accumulators at the bottom screw. So I need to replace them myself. My question is, the Bosch part number of the originals is 0438 170 015. It seems I can get these from the US E-bay for about $125 US plus freight. But there are also Bosch Accumulators 0438 170 007 that they say are compatable with "77 '78 924s and they are about $40 US cheaper on E-bay. Can anyone advise me if I can use the 0438 170 007 ones as a cheaper alternative. Thanks Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 14February, 2018 Report Share Posted 14February, 2018 I paid ~200USD in 2011 (yikes but there was no cheap option back then) so you're onto something...but then again , who makes them? (Bosch is just a word nowadays). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Posted 14February, 2018 Report Share Posted 14February, 2018 Add it up and see what it'll cost all up including delivery. Then call up your local Porsche centre and see what they can get it for. Each time i've compared OEM parts from US and from Porsche centre melb, local is always cheaper, or might be a little more expensive, but works out cheaper because you pay way less for delivery.

It was one of 3 to SA I believe, my boss had one too. Still in pretty good unrestored condition, garaged and driven mildly since then. I am going to put it on the market regretably in the near future. Have been lucky to own it for 31 years. 12 hours ago, Pauly said: Add it up and see what it'll cost all up including delivery.

Thanks for that advise, did not give that a thought. Will ring around Aus and see how it goes. Would rather spend the money here if possible.
