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.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys As a potential 996 buyer I am interested in the changes made when the 'facelift' was introduced. Were there any mechanical changes or was it purely a bodyshape change. If so would these make the facelift a better more reliable and therefore more valuable machine ?

POST 2Original post

cue the 996 FAQ section http://911uk.com/viewforum.php?f=33 and thread on facelift changes http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=32338

POST 3Original post

Facelift has an extra 200cc's 3.6 as aposed to the earlier 3.4 The clock cluster in the dash looks nicer too.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

ok thanks v much. Some quite significant changes then. Have there been other chanegs and updates along the way that gradually improve the cars or do Porsche generally save such things for the next model ?

POST 5Original post

You also get a glovebox (possibly a first for a 911, admittedly doesn't increase performance) and a front end unique to a 911 (headlights) as opposed to sharing it's looks with early boxters. :cap: Follow the links posted previously and good luck finding a 996 whether facelifted or not, they're great machines to drive. :thumb:
