Leading evidence: 'Use car reg' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'fact' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Use car reg' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suspected cause
I am guessing that it was due to the fact that if the namby pamby C4's drivers needed 4 wheel drive they may as well have PSM as standard
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.

Just bought a w reg 996. The dealer advertised it as a C2. When the paperwork from Tesco
Insurance
came through it said it was a C4. They used the car reg to get it's details. So is there an easy way to tell?

insurance
co's don't have a clue about differences between most models

Atte,
This is a wind-up, right? No? OK.
Assuming there's no Carrera 4 badging on the back or sill plates, the only visual indicator is the titanium silver coloured brake calipers which were unique to the Carrera 4. Plus if your car's got PSM it's more likely to be a C4 (PSM was only an
option
on C2's from 2000).
Rodders is right - the boot's much smaller in the C4 - approx 70cm x 40cm (it's size is compromised by the 4WD system).
If all else fails punt your car hard into a corner then back off mid-way thru'. If you find the car understeers but you somehow manage to get thru' the corner then it's likely to be a Carrera 4. If on the other hand you find yourself on the phone to your insurers you've probably bought a Carrera 2! NOTE:
DON'T
TRY THIS!!!

Well as i have come from a Lotus the boot looks huge to me anyway so that method was out. The crashing method didn't really appeal. That just left the brake calipers which are painted red not silver.

When I first called to update my
insurance
when I bought mine, the ins. co. said it was a Cayene
then when I explained what it was, they didn't have a Targa listed so the put it down as a C2. Now changed to a company who stuff chickens rather than pay celebs to advertise their services.

HI,
May be a bit late in the game here so apologies if this old info, or indeed incorrect, but my C4 has a PSM rocker switch on the dash, which allows you to turn it on or off. I dont belive the C2 has this according to my drivers manual or my mates C2, so that should be a definite way to tell.
Cheers,
Dan.

Hi Rude
PSM is an option on C2's so there are many that DO have the PSM rocker switch on the dash Not sure whether it was standard on C4's or not. I am guessing that it was due to the fact that if the namby pamby C4's drivers needed 4 wheel drive they may as well have PSM as standard
