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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just picked up a 2003 C4S yesterday. Third owner, minty fresh, fully stock, and now mine. Will join my 993 in the garage. Will get fluids and a once-over from my indy soon. A few questions to get your verification and a host of pictures: 1. HID: I have halogens. I understand Litronic retrofit is not an option on Mk2, and other retrofits require drilling. Might go with the Morimoto H7 kit and buy some used lights from ebay. 2. Bluetooth: I like listening to music from my phone. No need to take calls. Since this is an '03 and has MOST, it looks like the Tranzit Blu is the cheapest, most OEM way to go. Yes? 3. Shifter seems long and imprecise for my tastes. 997 GT3 short shift console work? THANKS, and now pictures!

POST 2Original post

I have a 997 GT3 shifter console in mine. MUCH better than the 996 shifter!

POST 3Original post

Nice, almost a twin to mine. Mine has the halogens as well, they look almost identical the Litronics except for the washers. I went with the Tranzit Blu adaptor as I found that the cheapest and easiest to integrate. Not sure if anyone has found something different.

POST 4Original post

I can't answer your question but wanted to say nice cars!

POST 5Original post

i thought the 2003+ came with the washer fluid in the headlight? my 2003 c2 coupe (CAD) has them

POST 6Original post

I've heard good things about the Numeric shifter: https://numericracing.com/store/shifter100/
