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.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well I finally have my car and it is beautiful - so ...perfect. Anyway, one of the things I know I will need to do is switch the computer to display everything in metric (kilometers, kph, etc) - I tried searching both the internet and rennlist specifically, does anyone know how to do this? I have a 2003 996 MkII Cheers and thanks

POST 2Original post

With the car started, turn the clock set button in the gauge cluster to the left and hold it for about 5 seconds. Do not push the button -- pushing sets the clock. That should do it.

Awesome thanks! I'll try that right now. Cheers

POST 4Original post

Related question, does anyone have any recommendations on where to get a speedo gauge face repainted/replaced to read KPH? Assuming replacing the face is a DIY?

POST 5Original post

Quotes source post: 5386526

Is it a legal requirement to change it if the digital display is already in KPH? IMHO the analogue gauge is almost unreadable/ornamental anyway, so it hardly seems worth the trouble

Not in Canada. If you can display Km/h whether on the analogue or digital speedo, you're ok.

POST 7Original post

it is where I'm sending this particular vehicle (not my 996)

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
