Does anyone know what changes were made to the 996 C4S between 2003 and 2005? i.e. any differences between the standard spec. of the two different model years.
Am taking the dealer to court and they maintain that there are no differences. Certainly Porsche GB have said that there were ' no facelift changes to this car '.
 
As far as I can see there were very few changes.

Introduced for MY2003:
MOST interface/PCM2/CDR23/CRC4
Bose Digital
PSM Steering Angle Sensor updated (new connector)
Climate Control display auto-dimming
Minor changes to OBC display

Introduced for MY2004:
80AH battery fitted.

Therefore, the only difference between an 03 and 05 is the battery.
 
What about the wheels Richard. On my 2003MY they are 295/30 ZR18 and apparently they are 285/30 ZR18 on the 2005MY. Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks.

I have a 2005 model year 996 C4S, which was built in November 2004.

I understand that this is one of the last 996 cars made (not registered until 1st March 2005)

It was delivered with 295/30/ZR 18 (rear) and 225/40/ZR 18 (front) Bridgestone S-02A tyres.

Mine is a December 2004 C4S, same size tyres, but Michelin Pilot Sports. I wonder if the Sports Chassis option had any bearing on the tyre choice?
 
OK well thanks for your input guys, much appreciated. It looks as though there are no real differences.
This won't harm my case, just would have made it stronger if there were significant differences.
Cheers,
Paul
