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.

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

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

A black 1999 C2 Aero Coupe. I've been lurking on this site and funcarsonline for the past couple of months as I did my research on which car to buy. I was torn b/w a 993 and a 996. I eventually decided on a 996 and found this great deal on this car. My first ever question: Is the Bentley CD the only choice for reference or are there others? I will use search but any advice will be greatly appreciated.

POST 2Original post

I assume you are talking about a service manual... To my knowledge Bentley does not make a repair manual/CD for the 996. You can purchase a Porsche service manual (15 volumes) for about $487. I got mine from My-Porsche.com.
