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.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Started the car up yesterday (996 tip), and the dot-matrix temperature display (the display in the main instrument pod) did something strange....the temp started showing something like 24 degrees and then counted down (like the oil level thingy) until it reached 16 degrees....car was cold, hadn't been run for a couple of days....most odd....anybody else ever seen anything like this? Impending doom/failure of a hideously over-priced part?! Marc Migration info. Legacy thread was 27961

POST 2Original post

similar thing used to happen to BMW's after a flat battery on cars with an outside temperature gauge, if you had a flat battery ? might be nothing to worry about Migration info. Legacy thread was 27963
