Hello. Where is the problem with the position of the engine ? It's a particular pathology with the C4S ? Thank you for your informations.

L'ecart entre tes embouts d'echappement et le parchoc arriere apparait top important ce qui tendrait a prouver que les supports moteurs arriere sont deteriores entainant un abaissement du moteur.
C'est un probleme mineur classique sur les 996. Cela prend une heure pour les changer. Une video sur Youtube te montrera comment faire si tu veux le faire toi meme.

Merci pour ces infos ; je vais faire vérifier ça par mon centre Porsche.
Thank you for your answer ; my Porsche dealer are going to check this.

Very nice and perfect combo, C4S + X51!

You're welcome Stephane! BTW, I'm impressed by Cuda911's diagnosis!
Don't worry, Stephane, you mechanic will test the engine-mounts. If needed, replacing them is not a big deal.
I wish you a lot of fun with this beauty,

My tips used to sag, but after putting new mounts on the car the **** sit flush with the bumper.

Cuda911

Yep, no one wants sagging ****.

Amazing looking car Stephane, you are very lucky to have found this perfect example, great color combo as well... It really looks brand new "inside-out", incredible, even the leather seats have no wear, nice. Welcome to the club and enjoy your new C4S, especially on the Autobahn :-). Cheers...

Bonjour Stephane,
moi je suis dans la région bourguignonne, à Autun. Donc pas de garages Porsche ici. J’ai une 996 4s cabrui, couleur bleu nuit de 2003. Elle roule impeccable. Et eel n’a que 72.000 Néanmoins j’ai déjà eu des soucis avec. Fuite du condenseur de la clim, cassé bobines etc. Donc si tu roules si peu, tu changera l’huile avec quelle. Et bienvenue sur ce forum.

Pardon my French, but that car is F%#$ING gorgeous! Were the silver radiator grilles & exhaust vents a factory option or were they painted? When I search for photos of C4S's I see it's pretty rare on widebody cars. I love, love, love, love it. Well done, mate!

GS95

Hi. Thank all for your friendly comments. Rvanhaasen, regarding your issues with your car, the precedent owner of my 4S had also changed the aircon condensers due to a leak. For my part, I have already changed the clutch. All the rest is perfect. Roll on for the spring (or at least a shiny winter day - nasty weather in Paris this week) and some great drive to Deauville !

Hi. The front grilles are part of the Exclusif Program (code 09991) : the code for this factory option is M095. I have these informations in the car service book. Regarding the exhaust vents I don't have any "official" information about a potential option ; perhaps they have been painted by the previous owner ...

that is an absolutely beautiful car!

don't trust the position of exhaust tips to determine whether or not motor mounts are bad. This is an urban legend

Regarding the exhaust tips: Mine were asymmetrically sagging, as well. Recommended new motor mounts through Rennlist. I did so.
They're still asymmetric. But hey: New motor mounts, so no harm, no foul.

Spectacular C4S. I may try to find how to make my intake and exhaust grilles silver in the same fashion: Mine is midnight blue and would IMO look spectacular with that minor modification.
Well done, Stephane. Enjoy.
