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.

Who would use the analog when you have the much easier to read digital?

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a question, can a boxster s cluster fit in a 2003 boxster? I understand that it does. but the dials on the boxster s says it goes up to 175 and the boxster says up to 150? would this effect in anyway?!? thanks. I recently change my cluster to an S, everything seems cool, but the milage restart back to 0 and the radio screen went on protect? don't know why. please help if you can. thanks. I went to the dealer and they say that they need the old cluster inorder to update the new one. Is this true? or are they pulling my leg? the new cluster model number is 986 641 213 00 and I drive a 2003 boxster non-s. just to make things clear.. THANKS for HELPING me.

POST 2Original post

Have you tried the techinical board?

POST 3Original post

What about the cluster of 996? Would that fit? Our speedometer is so small that it is rediculous.

POST 4Original post

I like the cluster layout. The big tach, white faced gauges, the plus the speedometer is good because it has the digital readout(much more usable) under the analog. Who would use the analog when you have the much easier to read digital?
