Check any potential car for these by popping off the plastic covers behind the rear seat backs with the roof open and peering down inside to check if the receiver brackets are fitted

To add, we forked out for a PCCM plus which whilst expensive works and looks fantastic in the car, ours being a left hooker out here in BC I was able to run the box to the glovebox and have since plugged in a wireless module also in the glovebox which works perfectly every time you jump in and out, connects right up, car now feels somewhat modern with apple car play

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.

Hi all
I've decided this winter's car hunt will be a 996 Turbo Cab tip with the intention of a Europe trip in early summer. Hopefully enough time to find a good example and sort out any bits that need doing. On to the questions then...
Went to look at one today and there was quite a bit of wind noise with the roof up at 50mph+. Is that normal or more likely window needs adjusting or seals replacing?
How important is having the hard top and original pcm for future sale? Neither items really bother me but don't want to be having to buy them when it comes time to sell and having all original bits is all of a sudden crucial.
What is the acceptable readout level for the boost?
Thanks.
Hi, Can't say I notice wind noise at any speed on our 04 cab tip turbo
The roof does work well
We put a hard top on for the winter months and that snugs things up a treat, however I had to buy and fit the receiver kit which was pretty easy, (our car wasn't originally specced for the hard top), I was lucky to find a used set of receiver for the hardtop pins cheap on eBay, they are pretty pricey new. Check any potential car for these by popping off the plastic covers behind the rear seat backs with the roof open and peering down inside to check if the receiver brackets are fitted
Boost pressure on our standard non X50 car is 0.6 bar, seen 0.7 a few times
Epic cars, I've had a coupe manual x50 and now have a cab tip, I personally really like the Tiptronic, and I love manual cars
Best of luck

I don't really get much wind noise in my 98 C2 cabriolet with the roof up.
Maybe the windows are not sealing up very well. Could just need recalibrating.
Definitely not poor wiper blades then, as the ones I had on caused a lot of wind noise until I fitted the aero style blades?
I'm back on my hardtop for the winter though, as I prefer the heated rear glass in the winter and it will protect the roof in a harsh winter.
My C4S cab has virtually no wind noise. When I bought it I was disappointed that it whistled more than I thought it should so took it back and the drivers window had very slightly dropped. It was adjusted and now seals properly. No more noise.
