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.
Suggestion
The caps are fitted into corresponding holes in the hard top when that is in place, so you might want to check they haven't been left in there before ordering new ones.
Leading evidence: 'Check they haven't been left in there' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check they haven't been left in there' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. 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.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Hello all.
New to the 996 Register though long time PCGB member. Just migrated across from the 944 community after selling a completed restoration project and buying a 996.2 3.6 C2 Cab in Seal Grey. I was lucky enough to have owned one of these when new (coupe not cab) so it’s a real step back in time for me! Car is in good shape bit needs the usual tidying and although complete s/history hasn’t had the IMS done (94k miles) even though it had a new Sachs clutch in 2018, so I guess it would be wise to get that done.
Couple of quick questions if I may (have had a nose round the forum and not seen any postings on these, so my apologies in advance if there are!):
1. Though no visible loss of coolant (no pools under the car or obvious leaks) it seems to go to around halfway between min-max after its had a decent drive and cooled down. Any thoughts?
2. The rear shelf is missing the two caps that cover the mounting holes for the hardtop. I’ve had a really good look on the usual spares sites and I’m struggling to find these - does anyone know the part number or who stocks them please?
Many thanks and all the best.
Chris
Hello Chris,
I had to replace one of the caps you referenced. I went direct to Cambridge PC. My interior is metropole blue and the PN and description was P99655545700G10 - closure cap. Including postage it was 12 pounds.
Cheers - that’s very helpful to have part no. confirmation. Have tracked a pair down on EBay (mine are black) for a similar price, his last two in stock (they’re obviously something that gets lost a lot!) so should have them soon! Thanks Chris
Hi Chris
The caps are fitted into corresponding holes in the hard top when that is in place, so you might want to check they haven't been left in there before ordering new ones. Unlikely, but worth a try. Mine are black and have the part number 996.555.457.00 on the underside although it looks like you are already sorted.
