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.

I would stick to the recommended 36/44, unless you particularly want to change the handling characteristics.

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 all, i'm very much a noob but learning fast, tried searching but didn't find anything, Just wondered if there is a tool like options decoder or if just part of your chassis number will reaveal the cars build date? Also what tyre pressures? manual says 36f 44r for 18" Carrera 5 spoke wheels, but i heard of people using 36f&r any thoughts? Simon

POST 2Original post

You can get the year of manufacture from the VIN, but not the build date. There is quite a cool VIN decoder on www.renntech.org (by the King of RMS failure Scouser). Porsche GB should be able to give you a build history of the car with all the option codes unscrambled. Never done it myself, but I understand you have to give them proof of ownership and they will do it. I was once told that the sticker on the door driver's door shut had a build date on it, but apart from the VIN I couldn't make head nor tail of the other numbers. Anyone have any info on this? I would stick to the recommended 36/44, unless you particularly want to change the handling characteristics.
