I had a look at it and it seems to have been repaired properly, and the car droves and feels very sorted.

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.

Hi all, I just bought my first porsche a lovely 996.1 C2 and I am over the moon ! I took it to podium place today and it drives amazing! The quickest car I used to own before was a manual 330i E92 so I am taking it easy, but you can tell how much superior the chassis is !
It has quite a nice spec!
- Hollow Turbo Twist
- Harback Sport Seats
- Guards Red seatbelts
- Half silver half black leather (never seen this before on a 996)
- Non-sunroof
- Carbon fibre Gearshifter
- Silver Dials
(Probably I am missing something)
The only issue I have is the radio is asking for a code. Could it be possible to provide me the code for the following CDR-22 Unit:
Type 4467
Serial: Y5025968
Many thanks in advance for your help with this
Kind Regards
Alex
Beautiful!
Does it need anything that’s obvious yet? I bought a 986 needing a clutch, seems they like to have money spent on them!
Hopefully yours won’t be too needy

Thanks ! I bought it from the most lovely chap I ever bought a car from. He bought it years ago as a project, and spent on it...wait for it...18K getting it back to this spec. He has a stack of receipts, all the big ticket items have been done by Precision porsche here are some that I can remember:
-Clutch, IMS 2019
-Suspension Refresh, alignment etc. 2020/2021
-New Brembo Brakes (disc, pads, sensors etc.) / Michelin Tyres Wheel Refurbed 2021
- AC Condensers 2022
The bodywork is not perfect, but is ok to me. I wanted something mechanically in good condition that I could drive and enjoy for not a lot of money. This certainly ticks all the boxes. Hopefully is not very needy
Excellent news
great peace of mind that a lot of the big items have been done recently and you can enjoy it straight away.
Bring it to the meet that PPBB is organising in june

Ha ! Thanks I knew when I met the seller that he was going to the 9werks podcast, I feel like ed bolian now ! 😂😂😂
Nice how much if you dont mind me asking?
I really miss my old 981 Cayman S (sold it to fund a bigger house) wondering if in the future I could afford to get back into a Porsche.
Well done, buy the car you like and want and enjoy it, i am aware there is a lot of hatred for the 996 on these forums but do not worry as personally i like the 996 headlights.

Lovely car, I just don't get the 996 hate.
I came across this
https://www.porscheclubgb.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=1052...
on the PCCB forum, which references this site. One comment is to try 9107 for the request. You could try that and see what happens.
Good luck.

Hey, I paid 11.5K, it was a bit of bargain as the previous owner had spent some money sorting it out mechanically. It has a mileage discrepancy (I believe they shaved 40k miles around 2009) and it is a CAT D car, so obviously that affects the value.
I had a look at it and it seems to have been repaired properly, and the car droves and feels very sorted. (I drove another example of a 2001 with 150k miles and a bit less sorted and it was quite a difference)
I like to believe it was quite a good buy, but I had to be quick as I noticed it came late at night in autotrader, next morning I was a the seller house. When I met the owner and the car I knew it was the right car for me. The story behind it adds up to the car for me and I am over the moon!
Hope you find a nice 996 they are lovely cars!

Thanks I messaged Mark Hamilton from the PCCB and he came back with the code! Again another lovely chap, and this keeps adding to the great experience of porsche ownership
