The bading should be on the back, if not you can use the vin and search on this site for the VIN options decoder - somewhere on an Atlanta Porshe site.

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
I bought an 03 cab 3 mos ago, really enjoying it. However chicago winter will be here and I'll keep her in the garage. Should I run it every so often ? Anything I should do / be careful about?
Also how do I know if the car is a c2 or C4 and what's the difference ?
Thanks much, everyone
Tony
If there is electricity available in your garage, get a battery tender. I store my car most of the winter, but I take it out every couple of weeks when there is no snow on the ground to keep the tires from flat spotting. I do not have an electrical outlet in my storage location, so I go for a 40 mile drive on the highway every couple of weeks.
Put Stabil in the gas to keep the gas from going bad.
C2 is 2 wheel drive, C4 is 4 wheel drive. The bading should be on the back, if not you can use the vin and search on this site for the VIN options decoder - somewhere on an Atlanta Porshe site.
I recently sent this list to a Rennlister, via PM:
1) All maintenance up-to-date
2) Fresh/recent oil change
2b) Full concours detail, interior, exterior, wheels pulled
3) Fuel stabilized with Sta-Bil (run in a few miles)
4) Gas tank very-very full
5) Tires over filled with nitrogen (approx 58 PSI)
6) Park on a thick mil plastic painter's tarp (Home Depot)
7) Several pounds of desiccator in cabin, windows closed
8) Park out of gear, NO e-brake, chock wheels with small wood blocks
9) Plug in Porsche battery maintainer
10) Lock doors, put car keys in floor safe ( or safe deposit box)
10b) Cover car with a high quality car cover (Porsche and Carnewal)
10c) Call insurance company, and suspend most coverages (save $$$)
11) Hand roll car about 8-12" the first Saturday of each month
12) Last month of storage, do step #11 weekly
13) In the spring, bleed excess air
13b) Prior to starting in the spring, manually turn over engine in 5th gear, or pull fuel pump fuse, and crank over (you need to read more about this step on Rennlist)
13c) Make sure car is running fine, no noises, leaks, bug/animal infestation etc.
14) Go on a +300 mile drive, and buy fresh fuel
don't forget to tape up any places that little critters could climb into like the exhaust tips.
i've read about leaving the windows down just a bit to have less wear on the rubber seals.
