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

I recently rear ended a car and needed front bumper replacement. When I drove the car into the shop my instrument cluster was working fine. When I picked up the car (2001 996 w/approx. 86,000 mi) there was (still is) spidering on the middle LCD display. Can there be a connection between the collision and the condition? My insurance co. called two Porsche dealerships (Circle and BHills) and was told it was a coincidence. I have spoken to a private Tech as well as one for my Zone on pca.org and both have stated that it was possible, akin to a person who starts hurting two or three days after an accident. Any info greatly appreciated........ Scott

POST 2Original post

never heard that it can be related to an accident, as that happens a lot on its own.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Today I was pleased to be informed that my Ins. co would cover the cost for repair to my LCD display. Given my unique circumstances combined with the evidence I presented apparently was enough for them.

Cold weather. Happened to my Boxster when left outside at a shop on a particularly cold night. Mike

I guess cold weather is a possibility, but here in Southern Calif., where the weather was actually unseasonably mild while car was in the shop...70's by the beach where I live during the day and low 60's at night, probably not likely but....who knows. Just happy that the Ins. co is picking up the tab....as they should!
