Hi hector,

Welcome to Rennlist. We are a bunch of smart asses. Pay no attention when someone mentions the rareness of your car.

Hector,

First off.... Welcome to Rennlist.

As for the symbol, I think that is the dreaded "coolant leaking into your oil pan" symbol! Also called coolant/oil intermix!

NO, NO, I am just kidding! That was a mean thing for me to do. Sorry, but I couldn't help myself.

Seriously, I can't think of what that symbol is or what it means.

Toronto,

Why would his Porsche be indicating that an Audi, located somewhere in the world, has low washer fluid?

Oh wait...... now I get it!



Seriously, good find!

Holy crap, did that take a long time.

Didn't europe have some 97 models 996?

Pac996

Hawaii's vehicle registration department has for a long time labelled cars sold before the new year as the same year they are sold in. Which would mean if a 98 996 were sold before the first of the year then it would have 1997 stamped on it's registration. Then who knows what typo's our wonderful world can supply us with.
