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.

Hi All,
Just a quick post to let you know that there is a comprehensive 996 guide available for instant download on Kindle.
Called the Definitive Guide to Porsche 996 series 911, it is written for enthusiasts by fellow enthusiast Grant Neal. There are 143 pages packed full with information and images on all 996 models, including a section with real owner's cars. With the benefits of Kindle page navigation and image zoom it works even better than a printed book.
The US information page is here .....
Amazon
Amazon
but it is also available on most Amazon country sites.
This forum is one of the the ultimate fonts of Porsche knowledge and a fantastic place to gain knowledge on all things 911 from an experienced and helpful group of forum guru's. But you can't beat having all the information, along with hundreds of quality images, all in one place for easy reference. Then, in combination with the forum, new buyers and owners have all bases covered.
You can look inside and view a few introductory pages and if you log into your Amazon account you can even send the sample pages to your free Kindle app on iPad (PC, Android, etc) so you can see what it looks like. The guide is currently on a special introductory offer
A huge thankyou
in anticipation of your support
, these are fantastic cars and they offer amazing value, a real 911 bargain.
There is also a 208 page 997 guide (all models gen1 & gen2) here...

Great production, well written, good content, best read on a tablet like an iPad, or Android equivalent. My kindle is monochrome.
Still looking for the "twin cup holders" in my '03 C2 though...US spec? I've only got one!
dporto, Volkert & Audidude
a BIG thankyou
for your support
glad you are enjoying the guide.
Pleased we found you an extra cup holder Audidude.
As a side note don't forget you don't need to use your black & white Kindle device, if you haven't got a colour tablet just download the Kindle app to your PC (or Mac) and you can have it in full colour on that as well!
996 guide update
- Just a quick note - with a bit of hi-tech wizardry
we have managed to greatly reduce the file size of the guide on Kindle while also maintaining the quality of the images. If you have already purchased the guide you should be able to take it off your Kindle app and re-download with the smaller file size, if required. A big thank you once again for your support
Still, I am missing one VITAL information!!! My late 1997 build 996 has a three spoke sports steering wheel with a silver Porsche crescent. Later models are all colored. Is that silver one original? When was it delivered and on which cars??
A big thankyou GH996
, hope you enjoy the guide
Volkert -
Nice to hear from you, the Sports Steering wheel was an option, if this was fitted to your car new from the factory it "should" be on your VIL sticker. (
Note - Porsche did supply a number with the silver crest, but they are rather rare compared to the coloured crest - yours is likely to be a genuine item, I would share an image on this forum under your own post and see how many others share the same finish
)
On page 104 of the guide we tell you where you can find the 996 parts catalogue for download.
This is a great source of information and not only features the parts (with model year reference, steering wheel parts are on page 142) it also has a list of the options and VIL codes on page 609 (including various steering wheels). With Porsche there are always the odd quirks/variances with spec's/VIL codes and this can make it difficult to drill down into every minor variance with every option over every single model year. I'm please to give you (& the guys above) the direct link to one of two 996 parts catalogues, so you can do some further research with your VIL label and the steering wheels detailed. It's all part of the fun in owning a Porsche, researching and learning more about your own personal slice of Pork.
