    hey guys, I am looking at the porsche pdf part files for the water cooling hoses there are quite a few and want to order the correct one, 1999 996 C2 NA 3.4 with Tip passenager side, under the rocker , it a larger tube about 1 inch and is copper tube, mine has been crushed almost flat and want to replace it thank you !!!

    Being a long hood 911 guy all my life, I purchased my first water cooled 911 beacuse of how affordable they are right now :) 99 996 tip with130K drives very tight for a auto really like the tiptronnic now

    i am too looking for a 99 00 996, if you just look around , you will see ALOT of 996 with 100K+ miles, looks like these are the relieable engines, compared to air cooled 911, you will see 100K+ miles 911 but with a rebuilt engines, most likey a few times, Only seen a very few 996 with new engines With that being said, I feel much more comfortable purchasing a 996 with more then 75K miles then one with under 60K miles,. the low miles 996 are scary to me, I figure this what causes the RMS failure, and cracked cylinder walls, By just sitting in a dry warm garage not running, these cars are designed to drive not sit , and they seem to go go go still havent found one with more then 150K my 2 cents

    hey guys , wondering if you think a 2002 slk32 amg 80 k miles excellent condition, records clean, trade for 00- 01 996, in same condition is a good deal , i have a slk32 soon but want the 996 both going for around 20-28K thanks dave
  22. dporsche74
    thanks guys just found out about the durametric tool , I am thinking of buying this to find and inspect 996, but when i went to the website, i was a bit confused with the 3 vin limit, what does this mean , i hope i could test more then 3 cars? can i reset the toool , everytime i inspect a potenial 996 purchase thanks

    hello guys I am in the market right now for a 99-01 996 , would like the c4 but would also be more than happy with c2 , Cant help to notice high milage 996 60-120K miles everywhere going for bargian prices , I really can take my pick of color and options inthe 20-25K range, seems to be aton out there, I was wondering if the porsche dealer or somewhere online can run the vin check to find maintinace records for the 996 , (not a carfax ) or i read something about a onboard computer tells info also, Also not afraid of working / modding the 996 myself, exhaust, RMS , clutch, tune up etc.. worked on alot of older 911 and tons of mercedes, Are there any manuals out yet also, any info would be great thanks

  25. dporsche74
    i would look at the KBB value for poor condition c4 99 and then take 5K off the price then it might be worth it,
