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.

I guess I'll have to look around the car to see what special request was made....I hope it wasn't for a Trabant engine to be used instead of the original!

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

Hi, I'm looking to buy a facelift 996 tomorrow, but I can't make out 3 of the options on the car. I've been to http://isuisse.ifrance.com/porsche911/Rennlist/Rennlist20/Rennlist_pictures20.htm and http://www.kindel.com/porsche/options.asp and searched the forum but I still can't find them.....any help would be appreciated! 663 689 226 (leather headliner?) 09991 (from the Exclusives range?) Thanks

POST 2Original post

663 - Hands-free receiver 689 - Preparation for CD changer 226 - The mystery option 09991 - ???

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Richard that's 2 ticked off the list...... I bet 09991 is chrome plated seat runners or something totally useless anyway.

POST 4Original post

Rodney According to Loren on Renntech.org: "09991 - Exclusive Program likely means that one or more items on the car came from the Exclusive list (one or more codes starting with "X")." Another interpretation from "Tool Pants" on Renntech: "The salesperson at my dealer calls this special instructions. You may have wanted a certain part to be covered in leather or stiched with a certain color thread. It is not really an option code." 226 is listed on most 996 "Option Stickers" but I don't believe anyone really knows for sure what it is except the guys on the production line. Maybe it's some kind of perverse Porsche joke, and the guys at Stuttgart are all looking at threads like this and laughing their socks off. It certainly isn't listed by Kindel, Streather, or even on the Porsche PET. I guess we'll never know...... Chrome plated seat runners - that sounds NICE! [ ]

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Richard, Thanks a lot, good use of varied sources there! I hope we added to their laugh. I guess I'll have to look around the car to see what special request was made....I hope it wasn't for a Trabant engine to be used instead of the original! [ ]
