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

No problems really, just some questions. I recently picked up my new toy, a '99 996 C4 tip. Love the car to bits but find the climate control fan pretty noisy - other owners views? Also, jsut like my previously owned 964 tip, occaisionally, when in D, the gear choice is first. I thought the car always chose second gear when in auto mode. No other issues so far.................

POST 2Original post

My 996 have the fan noisy if you close all the air gates inside, with them opened the fan is ok on auto.My gear is manual so I cannot help you in other question. Migration info. Legacy thread was 19811

POST 3Original post

The Tip should always go down to second, not first in Auto mode. That is the default, and I certainly haven't seen mine go into 1st in Auto mode. I haven't had my long though, but it is a 996 (2001). Nik. Migration info. Legacy thread was 19877

POST 4Original post

The dashboard indication will always show 2nd gear, but from rest the car will always start in 1st (when D is selected). you can only select 1st when using tiptronic 1998 Carrera 4 tip (zenith blue)....the dogs! Migration info. Legacy thread was 19879
