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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Luke I have been using a ctek on my turbo for the past 6 years. Think it's the 3600 works a treat! Steve

POST 3Original post

Cheers guys thats great. And it's ok to use re lighter Socket? Just purchased a 996 Turbo X50 and its only going to be used a few thousand miles a year. Regards Luke

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah plugs right in! Think we've done 4k in the pas 6 years! Turns on the button every time. The lighter extension is extra but only a few quid!!

POST 5Original post

Ctek 3600 is a good unit, had one for 3 years now, prefered the direct connection route, added a short extention to one wire so the connector sits just outside the battery cover. Easy to connect up when car is tucked up in the garage, connector is passed under rear of bonnet - simple.

POST 6Original post

Thank you both thats great thats what i will purchace. Steve i think i will only be doing about 2 k a year in it so it will probably be used a little like yours. Thanks again Luke

POST 7Original post

Hi Guys. Just a quick question - could anyone confirm that you can trickle charge all 996's including Turbos via the cigarrette lighter and also what would be the best charger to buy? Kind regards Luke
