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.

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 recently decided to purchase a 99 996 and have noticed that some 99's have the clear head and tail lights while some have the amber. Does anyone know the manufacture dates that these changes were made? Also if this is true, are there any other advantages to buying a late 99 like the e-throttle or the 300 hp engine? Thanks

POST 2Original post

I have a late 99, with the clear lens,and the better radio but none of the 99's came with e gas. That was 2000 on. My car has a build date of 9/98. I believe the new run began with September builds.As for 300 hp..I'm kind of happy with the 296 listed <g>

POST 3Original post

I have a 1999 996 C2. I just had the motor replaced - though not for warranty issues. I hated the car with the old motor. The new motor i have installed is much better, stronger, smoother, and it is a joy to drive now. The old motor was way down on power, and noisier. If I were u i would steer cleer of the 99's. The hp ratings were very inconsistent. The new motor i have still has a mechanical throttle but it is much more responsive.

POST 4Original post

Early '99s were actually '98s in ROW, and they had yellow blinker lenses. "Real" '99s everywhere had clear lenses. The later '99s built after approx. March 1999 had fewer problems than earlier cars (seatbelt buckles / warning light, radio, coolant tank). I have a late '99 and love it, except for the interior styling, cheap plastic, and no glove box. Jim
