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 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.

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

Hi, Just got my C2 98/R 996 Tiptronic delivered from a sepcialist in Coventry and first impressionas (coming from a 964 C4) are far more refined but not quite as sure footed (first impressions at least) or as rough and ready but far more modern, comfotable etc... Need to do a few miles in it to get used to it.. Couple of questions....? The car has a factory PCM system and I only got one disk and its from 1999. Does anyone know where I can get the latest or a newer disk either from Porsche or other suppliers. I am fairly happy to buy a later/used/copy disk etc. if I can make a saving. Also, on both sides there appears to be a small amount of rust on the insid of the door shuts surrounding the (dont know the technical name) bit the door lock butts up to. Its only a small amount of bubbling but obviously needs to be looked at but is this a common problem and should it be carried out under the 10 year rust warranty? Thanks, Rob

Rob, Congratulations on your new purchase, Autobahn I would assume? There was a thread about PCM discs a while ago, Yes you can buy them from your OPC at £214.00 each, they tend not to have them in stock but to order. I did see an advert in PP with a company offering the same discs for less money, but I don't know them or anyone who has tried them. Sorry can't be anymore help on the rust. West mids meeting this Thursday at Autobahn/PCT Garyw
