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.

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

What I would like to do is replace the guage cluster from that of one with the Factory OBC that has the Dot Matrix display.

OBC Question

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

I had the OBC activated on my 2002 996 and get the temp, dte, etc..... What I would like to do is replace the guage cluster from that of one with the Factory OBC that has the Dot Matrix display. Would that work? Thx

POST 2Original post

I have done about 30 trip computer retrofits, and I always wanted to try a dot matrix display cluster in a non OBC optioned car to see if it would work. But I have not found a local owner who wanted to spend the money to buy an OBC cluster. The shop forman at my local dealer who helps us when we work on cars thought it would work, but there is only one way to find out for sure. We do not know anyone who has tried. Jeff

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Do you happen to know the part number for either the 996 or 986 with the Factory OBC? Thanks

POST 4Original post

tool how many of these dvd's do you have? what subjects/topics? do you sell them/how much thx

POST 5Original post

There is no single part number for any instrument cluster. Is it a tip, 6 speed, C4, color, part of an option package, and so on. Rather than hinting around post the part number on renntech.org or here or call your dealer and someone will tell you if the cluster has the 659 option. Info on DVDs. http://www.vssi-eda.com/9x6werks/ Stupid me is looking for local 996s to work on when our local owners work on Boxsters. Need help from Loren for that. Took 6 months to get 3 DVDs. Then I thought we should put as many cars together and work on them side by side. Get a lot of good tape that way.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I found a 986 Tip cluster that has the part number 986-641-214-02 I don't mind losing the Voltage and Oil gauges to go it if it would work.
