These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

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

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have been troubled by the fact that my Radar plug or car charger plugs need to be pinched in with a piece of paper. Where can I get the right size one to replace the incorrect one? Will a 997 one work? Or did Porsche fix it for the MKII and all I need to do is a direct replacement with a 996 post 2002 part number? Can someone guide me here? I have the interior in the restorer and want this done before it goes back together so it doesn't get scratched later. Appreciate your help.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

BTW, it's a 2000 996 C2. My 997 is Yeah Ok.

Very cool. I ran into the same issue with my cell phone charger. Thanks for the link, man.

POST 5Original post

It can be a tricky install. Much easier if you understand how the pieces fit together. A decent DIY is here: http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic...ghter-removal/ (scroll down or go to page 2 for more pics)

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you guys! I will order tomorrow.

Can you pick up a plug in adapter at Radio Shack or FLAPS for a snug fit?

POST 9Original post

Is this issue only on the earlier 996 models? My '04 siggy socket fits my passports plug like a glove.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I believe so, but my issue is resolved! Ordered from Suncoast. Great fit

How hard was it? I may have to look into this
