I have a gauge cluster that has developed a snowflake like burst in the middle of the clock/oil level section. I have found a cluster for sale with part number 996-641-223-07 70C. I looked up my 2000 model and it appears that it needs a 996 641 103 03 70C. Is this correct or are the clusters interchangeable? Also can the oil level/clock be replaced separately? Thanks in advance.

I halve a 2000 996 with manual trans.

I don't think the instrument cluster you have seen for sale is compatable with your car. Looking at the online PET catalog, I can't find either your instrument cluster or the instrument cluster for sale. But I am sure that any instrument cluster with a 996.641."2xx".0x.70C in the part number is a later (MY02+), "improved" instrument cluster and is not compatable with your car. It would physically fit but the three plugs on the back of the instrument cluster are physically and electrically incompatable.

As for replacing the bad display, I defer that judgement to Tool Pants. He purchased an instrument cluster several years ago and found it had a bad display. As I recall, he found it unrepairable.

In any event, I would be very careful about purchasing an instrument cluster from any internet auction site.
