Just google.com for "964 porsche". Then go to http://www.porsche964.co.uk/.

You will find lots of specific information regarding codes.

By the way, check again, I suspect that your codes are actually:

M 64/01-62N 0 5005. "N" indicates a 1992 motor. What is your VIN?

L908 SW

C02 = California Compliant
437 = Comfort Seat Left
454 = Automatic Speed Control
494 = Radio Amplifier
650 = Sunroof
691 = CD-Player "CD-1" with Radio

GT-Three... Welcome to Rennlist! I looked up the numbers you listed in PET and didn't find anything. You'll soon see, though.. How many knowledgeable people are members here. I'm sure someone will chime in very soon! In the meantime... You should post pictures of your car! It's mandatory here you know! j/k

You'll have this figured out in no time!

Welcome to Rennlist!

Accoding to your VIN:

W = Germany, country of origin
P = Porsche
0 = passenger car
A = Coupe
B = Normally aspirated 3.6L
2 = Seat blets/air bags
96 = Type 964
2 = test digit, no meaning
N = 1992 Production year
S = Stuttgart, manufacture place
4 = Type 964
20226 = Serial number

Marc
p.s. build date for mine is on the driver's door jam.

Interesting - I just tried the option decoder and it says M220 is LSD and M224 is ABD.

But, the shot of PET (pg. 13) disagrees - so who is right?
