Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

Do you guys have the vehicle identification label under your bonnets/hoods. I know it is on the boxster, but not sure about the Caymen. Just bought one and it is not there - so bit worried. If it should be there any possible explanation (other than the obvious one of damaged and replaced). Sorry about any duplicate posts trying to get to grips with this site

POST 2Original post

From the manual: see attachment I personally have not confirmed it as I have not taken off my battery cover yet.

POST 3Original post

Bigger picture attached (for some reason I can't get png files to show up the correct size). says that "the vehicle identification number is in the front luggage compartment under the battery cover".

POST 4Original post

I know the VIN (vehicle identification number is where you state it is) but in the UK (probably the same elsewhere) the boxsters and older porsches have a sticky label under the bonnet/hood which includes the VIN and all the option codes as well. It is usually a good indicator as to whether the bonnet has been replaced. Hence, why trying to find out whether the Cayman is the same as the Boxster in this respect. From what I gather it is usually refered to as VLI - vehicle identification label, rather than a VIN. It is more or less like the page (4?) in your warranty document

POST 5Original post

I got what I assume is the VIL but it was not stuck on the car. The dealer handed it to me along with all the books and manuals that came with the car. It was still attached to it's wax paper backing and has my VIN along with all my option codes printed out.

POST 6Original post

Thanks Cheerio. Hopefully it is the same here in the uk. Perhaps some of the UK based guys could confirm whether porsche have changed their policy - i.e. no vehicle Identification label under the bonnet for Caymens

POST 7Original post

Looks like they don't use the labels anymore as you suspected. Thank god for that. Welcome to BoXa.net

POST 8Original post

I have a label attached on page 1 of the "911 Carrera, 911 Turbo, Cayman, Boxster Maintenance" book. Where can I look up the option codes? tsp

POST 9Original post

TSP, This site should help with most of them I contacted the local dealer and asked them for a print out of the original order specs, that shows option code and details as well as engine, transmission and various other serial numbers. You may have to go in and prove that you own the said vehicle. :cheers:
