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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

can you tell by the VIN what build a 996 is?

POST 2Original post

If you are talking of model year, the answer is yes. The digit before the "S" indicates the year. X: 1999 Y: 2000 1: 2001 2: 2002

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

[quote]Originally posted by Art_Z: <strong>thanks, but i was looking for month/year the car was actually built, rather than the model year. i have some cars i looked at that i forgot to check the build, but I have the VIN</strong><hr></blockquote> The build month and year are found on the black certification plaque in the driver's door jamb. These are listed separately and are not part of the VIN.

POST 5Original post

Art If you can't see the car in person, then call your local Porsche dealer. They can run the Vin# thru the data base and tell you: Build date In service date All options by code # Warranty repairs performed/ Service Bulletins outstanding Pricing of car and options Good Luck
