I don't believe it is an instrument panel problem because I get an error code when I read the codes, I think it was P0641 or something like that that has a phrase "Alternator L-Terminal". I am thinking that maybe I have the 2008 alternator which puts out more or less voltage than the 2006 alternator. If I had the 2006 alternator on the 2008 engine in the 2006 car, I can't see why it would matter. Do you know what the difference is in the alternators between 2006 and 2007/2008? They are not the same part number. Thanks for your reply. __________________ This post was auto-generated based upon a question asked on our tech article page here: Porsche 911 Carrera Alternator Replacement - 996 (1998-2005) - 997 (2005-2012) - Pelican Parts Technical Article

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.

I am not sure the difference, but I believe one is Bosch and the other Valeo? - Casey
