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.

The 'Carrera S' came in 997 form. In 996 guise it was just C4S, Carrera, or Carrera 4 (and the Anniversary models,turbo, Gt3 and GT2) Sometimes in ads you will see a car advertised as Carrera Tip S, leading you to believe it's an 'S'. Have a look at our buyer's guide for what to look for in terms of faults http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=260109 And for the different models and variants guide here:- http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=254973 Good luck!

Im pretty sure there is no Carrera S in the 996. The 'S' models in the 997 have the 3.8 engine as opposed to the 3.6 Rodney beat me to it
