Door Lock Key Cylinder O-Ring

[nwhiteis]

I disassembled the door latch mechanism and removed the key cylinder, I noticed there was a rubber O-ring stuck inside with grease which is torn apart. Porsche does not list parts for the 993's latch mechanism. It appears that PET lists an O-ring for older 911's key cylinders, is that part interchangeable for the 993 lock cylinders?

Welcome to RennTech 

No idea on the Oring, but normally in the Porsche parts system, if one part fits multiple vehicles, it would be noted. As the part cannot be that expensive, you could always buy it and find out; and if doesn't fit, take what is left of your old ring to a part store and try to match it up to something.  Plumbing outlets are also reliable sources for this type of part.  Good luck!

Thanks @JFP in PA, will definitely look there and try the part. I appreciate the welcome (and help)... I have been lurking around here for some time and it's nice to finally have a question of my own :).
