Steviep35 Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Guys, I'm a little confused which model i have due to when looking in boot some are open for water and oil access and some are hidden behind a door. i have a 2008 model and my oil / water is hidden behind a door so do i have a gen 1 or gen 2 , as i need to change my oil/ air separator and unsure if they are different between models ? thanks in advance for any info Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravestarr Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 To widen this out slightly, what other changes were made to Gen 1s across their life. (other than the IMS stuff) My 07 also has the water and oil behind a small door but earlier cars have them exposed. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonttt Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 You need to be careful referring to cosmetic changes eg centre console colour as they can be changed by an owner at a later date. I find Wiki is usually pretty accruate eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_987 Ultimately the answer is in the cars VIN code as even referring to engine I have seen people think they have a different engine than they actually do eg 3.2 v 3.4 (although visually they are different). nb in this case though the .1 to .2 was more than simply a "facelift" as it introduced the DFI engine to the S models which eliminated IMS and bore scoring issues (well put bore scoring back into the realms of normality)... hence why .2 cars command such a premium (nb same with the 997.1 to .2) For ease I usually go off registration date ie <2009 = .1 ......>2009 = .2 but of course there are crossovers in 2009 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
