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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm building an engine tester for 996 engines. I need to acquire the harness that connects from the engine circle end connector to the DMEs. I've sourced a 99-01 connector, but I happen to have several 02+ engines. Before I purchase the connector, I wanted to know if the connectors are compatible. I know it won't have the dual variocam but I wanted to make sure that pin 1 is still pin 1 -- or in other words I plug the connectors in -- I don't get melted wires. thanks, mike

POST 2Original post

If I correctly understand your question, you want to know if you can plug an '00-'01 DME harness into a '02- DME and still have it run an '02- engine (albeit without the variable lift functionality of Variocam Plus). That won't work, because they moved approximately 25 signals when they transitioned to the 7.8 DME. As to melting harnesses, I haven't looked too much at that but I *think* you're OK there. PM me with an email address and I'll send you a spreadsheet that shows the changes required at the DME connector to run a '02- engine using a 7.8 DME and the '00-'01 DME-side harness. You should be able to easily see any potential harness-melting issues. Note that the '99 C2 is a mechanical throttle and the DME is not connector compatible with the later cars, so the harness you are sourcing must be for '00-'01 DMEs.

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