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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I am in need of a 2 button plastic key housing for my facelift 2002 996. I don't need a key or the internal parts just the plastic housng as the lady whom owned the car before me has nicely used her nail and broken the plastic. Help please as i cannot seem to find one anywhere. Thanks Rob

POST 2Original post

If it is the upper half of the key head - the part with the buttons on it - then you can get a replacement. Part Number 996.637.353.00 ((£18.55 inc VAT). If it is the other half, these are not available separately. Alternatively, you could treat yourself to the Design Key, which uses your key internals in a flashy new housing. http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/fb.asp?m=369234 .
