Read evidence and context
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.
Discussions that suspect a cause
1
0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suspected cause
Probably a long shot, but worth a try if you haven't already.
Leading evidence: 'long shot' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'long shot' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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 am looking for a owners handbook for a facelift 996 c2 yes they are on eBay but at stupid money I want one to use as my car was traded in at a main Porsche dealer and they shredded all the history (apparently for data protection!!) all I got was the service book any help would be appreciated it would be nice to build up the documents
also got a basalt black hardtop and stand and waterproof cover for sale £550
(stand and cover are two months old and cost me £175)

They are still listed on the PET parts program, so it might be worth a call to a Porsche Centre Parts Department to see if they are in stock. The part numbers for MY2002, 2003, and 2004 are:
WKD99602002
WKD99602003
WKD99602004
Not cheap though, at about £70. Probably a long shot, but worth a try if you haven't already.
Hi Graham,
I have one with it’s wallet that I don’t need.
I bought my 996 turbo and didn’t realise for a long while that the chap had accidentally given me the driver’s manual to his carrera. I found the correct one for a cracking deal, so I bought the right one for my car. I intended to advertise this one to recoup what it cost me for the turbo driver’s manual.
Please PM me and perhaps we can come to an arrangement if you're interested in it.
Thanks
John

The pdf is for the US model, which has slight differences. I have a copy if you want it. PM me too with your email address so I can attach it to a reply.
