Not only does it need to be fitted with the later DME to control the Variocam Plus, but it also needs lots of re-wiring to retrofit the CAN bus electronics.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Going to look at a 2001 fried egg headlight 996 C4 cabrio, but I'm confused.com. It has a 3.6 engine which I didn't think arrived until the facelift model in '02. Any thoughts please?

POST 2Original post

Christopher! You are correct - the 3.6 engine was introduced on the facelift for Model Year 2002 (September 2001 on). If it has the GT1 headlights, it is pre-facelift. That's not to say it couldn't have had a 3.6 engine retrofitted, but it is a huge amount of work to do this properly. Not only does it need to be fitted with the later DME to control the Variocam Plus, but it also needs lots of re-wiring to retrofit the CAN bus electronics. And then there is the returnless fuel system......the list goes on and on. Most likely it is a misprint, or the seller is misinformed.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Richard. I'll ask them to check the v5; as you say it could be a mispront. If it isn't, then I'll probably walk away.

POST 4Original post

It should also have a glove box if 2002 model and serial no should be WPOZZZ99Z2S_______ the '2' before the S is the year.

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