Default Question regarding Motronic 7.2 and e-gas on '99 models:

I understand that the '99 C4 was introduced mid-year, and had Motronic 7.2 and e-gas, which the C2 did not. My question is, was the C2 upgraded to 7.2 and e-gas mid-year?

No the MY99 C2 had no e-gas and DME 5.2 for the full model year. All MY2000 Carreras got DME 7.2 and e-gas except the RoW GT3.

My 996 is a 6/99 production and has some features which I only saw on the 2000 model. How can I see if it is e-gas or not?

If it is a 99 then it is not e-gas. Wow, 6/99 must have been one of the last 99s made before 2000 models starting rolling off the line.

An egas throttle body looks like this. A MY99 C2 has a throttle return spring and idle valve.

I will have a look when I get the car. Quite easy to identify. Is there a problem with non egas?

Loren is an 'old hand.'

Here is another picture of the same 1999 C2 he worked on.

Non e-gas has an accelerator cable you can see.

Got my car today!!!

It's almost mint, I would say a 9 out of a 10, 20,000 miles on it, I love it. It is produced in 7/99 not 6/99 what I initially thought but still non egas.
