What do all these numbers mean

[DeAd-EyE]

my option sticker says the following:

C36 030 XSC X54 X70

X71 X97 X98 139 220

222 224 236 340 375

376 413 424 425 446

490 859 680 896 983

09991

what does all that mean? they can't all be options installed because a quick glance at the inside of my car will tell anyone that its pretty sparse.

its a MY99 Carrera if that makes a difference.

can someone please help decode this?

thanks

[Loren]

I got your email re your VIN number not working in the VINDecoder.

The checksum digit doesn't compute. Either you read it wrong from your car window or you have an invalid Porsche VIN. The VINdecoder is tested by running a file with just under 1000 Porsche 17 digit VIN numbers of various types for different model cars including the latest cars. So I doubt there is a problem with the decoder.

Re your option sticker details:

This is what I have collected so far. Hope Loren doesn't mind the huge list.

[DeAd-EyE]

WOW guys, that's some really impressive info you've managed to gather!

thanks a lot!

[Scouser]

I just sussed your VIN number problem. The 7th digit from the right is not a "5" its an "S" for sugar. That did it.

BTW: your prety sparse Carrera is a nice machine indeed with those options. Especialy 030 Congrats.

[DeAd-EyE]

d*amn man, you're a freaky genius with porsches.

i didn't know that all this stuff was optional.

i'm guessing that the 030 is the US spec M030 that people often refer to on forums rite?

am i correct in also assuming that the EuroM030 has a different ride height and springs?

Edited January 7, 2005 by DeAd-EyE

[Scouser]

That's a good question. The 030 is indeed M030 but I wonder if it is the same 030 as European spec since you are in Canada. It is my understanding that 030 is not an option to US cars because it breaks the vehicle regulations...I could be wrong on this. But for Canada 030 may be same as ROW.

[toddel68]

Any ideas what XTG, XTNand XU1 are?

Thanks,

Thorsten

[DeAd-EyE]

What does the wheel gap on the ROW M030 look like..because i've still got a fair bit of gap...unless of course it doesn't really lower height, just different springs and dampning, but that would be absurd.

[Loren]

US and Canada cars are the same - not RoW. So, your car is about 20 mm higher in the front and 10 mm higher in the rear than RoW cars

[Loren]

Any ideas what XTG, XTNand XU1 are?

Thanks,

Thorsten

XTG - Inner sill finished in leather

XTN - Mirror adjust in leather

XU1 - perhaps XV1 - Defroster trim in leather

[DeAd-EyE]

loren, locking defrential means LSD right?

[Loren]

loren, locking defrential means LSD right?

Yes, for MY99 options 220 - Locking differential (40%), 222 - Traction Control and 224 - Automatic Locking Differential always went together. The LSD (option 220) was always sold with Traction Control the forerunner of PSM.

[toddel68]

XTN - Mirror adjust in leather

XU1 - perhaps XV1 - Defroster trim in leather

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I have XNG which is the defroster in leather according to the above table. Could it be the middle console which was removed (GT3 look)? The first owner must have been a leather addict - I have about 10 leather options in the car. Thanks for the other codes Loren!

Thorsten

[Loren]

According to PET - XNG is instrument surround in leather.

I think Scouser's list is the one from Kindel and includes most of the old car codes - some of which were reused on newer cars.

[stan]

Hey Guyes, have you seen codes X78 238 09981. I also have the 09991 code. What is exclusive manf. anyway.

I have a 996 c2 6spd 2001.

Thanks

Correct!

As stated in PET: "Sun visor in leather, 2 illuminated vanity mirrors"

[hspiva]

Stan, you might be mistaking eights for sixes. I also have 236 (18" tires), X76 (flared rocker panels), and 09981 (unknown). I also have XKN and XKS (unknown)

09991 (Exclusive Program) is a special order. The first owner of mine ordered all leather and all wood. You have to do this "off" the usual order form. I have five or six lines of options - primarily leather and wood. I've sent for a Cert of Authenticity, so will report back.

Congrats on your unique Eleven.

Edited January 13, 2005 by hspiva

[Loren]

I also have XKN and XKS (unknown)

XKN - speaker covers in root grain maple, dark (my list says RoW only)

XKS - center nozzle bracket in root grain maple, dark (my list says RoW only)

;)

[mmorgan24]

How about this ... I had a guy at work whip it up. Test only right now - from the list Scouser posted (anyone have a more offical list and criteria). Want it Loren?

http://www.rsthree.com/sandbox/porsche.php

- Marshall | MY99 | Mirage Metallic 6sp

[stan]

Oh Oh,

I looked at the maint. booklet which has the option numbers on it and saw that what I thought was the number 8 was actually 6. Still cannot find 09981 anywhere.

Thanks for the help,

Stan

Looks like a good start.

Problem is that in many cases the option numbers mean different things for different models and years. Scouser's list is a good start but many of the codes are for "older" Porsches and they mean different options on the newer cars. The best source I've seen is inside of the dealer parts program PET - where it is based the exact model.

[XPRESSO]

Is there a site for checking the option sticker codes? I have others that I would like to decode....C02 226 288 411 437 438 446 476
