Fat Rat Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 Bargain basement price. A guy on Facebook bought a 2.7 03 facelift with a good running engine but very bruised bodywork for £350. That was cheaper than chips. Seeing as I paid him £370 for the steering wheel with airbag, seat belts and gear selector. 😂. Hope it works out for him. 🤙🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre facelift = variocam, post facelift = variocam+ The ECUs are different (IE the actual ECU, not the tune), and the wiring is also different. PITA to swap over between 986.1 and 986.2.

K.I.T.T. Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 @bally4563 If it's a 986.1 you want an M96.22 engine. 986.2 would be M96.23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ash I thought as much just nice to have it confirmed, this one he’s bought is a V reg, which I think is pre face lift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bally4563 Posted October 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 This one advertised says it’s a 986.22 but the car it has come out of has face lift rear bumper no number plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.I.T.T. Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 If it's V reg and isn't a personalised plate, it will be pre facelift for sure - a really early one '99. Does it have manual boot release handles by the drivers sill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) the 22 was fitted -00 to -02 model years. 23 for -03 on wards. A V plate will be an 00 model year so very much pre-face lift. Electric releases are from -01 onwards.

So what you saying if it’s earlier as in a 99 what is the engine stamped as and or will a .22 be ok ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is a 2.7 they only started in the 2000 model year from Aug 1999 build dates onwards. Download the parts cat from the Porsche website. It has all the details in the 'V Pages' of what engines and gearboxes went into which models and the relevant chassis, engine and gearbox serial numbers and what format they take to identify type by type and model year by model year.
