These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Welcome abord Steve, lovely car & colour!

POST 2Original post

Drive, drive and drive a little more.... shame it's not the quickest colour! which of course is Artic Silver.... Enjoy...[ ]

POST 3Original post

Hi All, Just thought I would say hello, I bought a 996 C2 over the weekend (pic attached). Any advice welcome.

POST 4Original post

Welcome Steve - great car and good choice. Dark colours are the fastest too!!! [ ][ ]

POST 5Original post

Thanks guys, Got her the weekend from a private sale, right price, mileage and colour (even if it's not the quickest colour)! Couple of questions. The air con is not cold cold, when I press the air-con button it soulds like a metalic whirring sound. Does this need a top up? She also requires oil, I have some Mobile Super S 10/40 semi synthetic oil, is this Ok. I used this on my 964? Also Halfords are doing a buy-one-get-one-free offer on cleaning products, topped up my stock at half the price!

POST 6Original post

Well Done, darker the berry the sweeter the taste lol. Mobil 1 always in mine , best stick with that .

POST 7Original post

I always use Mobil 1 fully synthetic 0-40, this has just been rebranded and think its now called 'newlife' or something similar

POST 8Original post

Welcome and enjoy! Peter Bull is right - dark blue is probably the fastest.

POST 9Original post

Welcome. Air con does sound like it needs a re-gas. Had my own done at Kwik fit for £50. Certainly made the difference to my own car, and well worth the money. I think several other forum users have also used Kwik fit for this, and I have not seen any negative feedback about Kwik fit for this particular service.

POST 10Original post

Enjoy Steve Nice car, from what i can see, and its dark blue so even quicker. Air con must have a leak or just need a re-gas, i had the same problem but was cured by a new pipe after they added blue die to the system to find the leak. Cheers Phil

POST 11Original post

I will try Kwik fit then tomorrow, going up to Alton Towers for 3 days next week so it would be good to get that sorted. She hasn't been cleaned properly for the 18 months, the previous owner lived abroard. Doing a 5 stage AutoGlym clean & polish, just a couple of panels per night, hard work but starting to look good.
