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.

I had the same query when I fitted a pair to my C4.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anybody know the physical difference between the Left and Right side coolant radiators on the 996 C2? I just had two delivered and cant really see any difference between the two apart from p/n. Wandering if I got sent two the same.

POST 3Original post

I had the same query when I fitted a pair to my C4. From memory there's a small diameter pipe connection (or bleeder - can't remember details now) as well as the main in/out. The small diameter is blanked or present differently dependent on whether left or right to ensure it's at the top.

POST 4Original post

Also, I think you may need to swap the blank/connection over on one rad if yours are identical. It's a while ago now but I think that's what I had to do.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I think this is correct looking at them, they seem identical just the breather blank needs swapping top to bottom. I guess I will find out at weekend when old ones come off.

POST 6Original post

Yep that's it. It will be clear when you remove the old ones.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
