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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Weird fact for the day which I'm assuming this is a Canadian oddity given that the country is bi-lingual. So I noticed that the spare tire was completely flat - not unsurprising as I've never topped it up. I looked up the pressure - 60 psi and got to work. When I removed the tire, I was greeted with two stickers - one English (as expected) and one French (okay). What was unexpected was that each sticker noted a different pressure (not okay). After some some brief head scratching, I realized that the part number for the French sticker was actually that for a 928! Now I know for a fact that the 928 and 996 do not share a spare tire - my Dad owned a 928 and they were of the inflatable variety. It seems that in a desperate effort to cut costs, Porsche decided to use the French label designed for 928s and conveniently overlooked the fact that the pressures were wrong... I know Porsche was in Financial trouble at the time but using incorrect stickers does seem like cost cutting gone too far!

Since most phrases in French are backwards to English, maybe it’s 63

POST 3Original post

Sacre bleu!! I�d rather drive a 911 with a 928 sticker than a 928 with a 911 sticker.

Only the french label stipulates " AVANT DE GONFLER, VISSER AU VEHICULE" which means 'SCREW TO THE VEHICULE BEFORE INFLATING". Porsche engineers think that French Canadians need such B.S. ?
