Read evidence and context

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.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I was a little confused when I ran a Carfax on a 99 Cab and it came up with "Carrera 2/4", and the car is RWD.

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.

3 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

Does anybody know if there is an indicator in the VIN for AWD (Carrera 4), or is it reflected on the options sticker?

POST 2Original post

Except in rare circumstances, it doesn't look like you can tell about AWD from the VIN. For MY99 there are separate entries for C2 and C4, but the VIN codes and serial number ranges are (mostly) the same. For MY00+ C2 and C4 are grouped together.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you for that! I was a little confused when I ran a Carfax on a 99 Cab and it came up with "Carrera 2/4", and the car is RWD.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
