  1. Hi All-

    I would like to get some input from fellow Porsche owners. I have been experiencing something kind of strange with my 06’ C2. It has about 1000 miles on it, I purchased it from the dealership as a demo model, the car had 700 miles on it.

    I am experiencing a lag in performance. It’s almost like when you drive a car with a turbo and you get that turbo lag before the turbo kicks in and you are off. I am being careful during the break-in period and not push the RPM’s past 4,300 in every gear.

    It just seems like the car is not moving. Any ideas, I can’t imagine this is how it is suppose to before.

  2. The problem is when I try and depress the seat heater switch on the console it does not stay on, so it is hard to say what does and does not heat up.

    The fuse in the fuse box looks fine. The seat is out of the car, how do I check to see if the seating element is working or getting power. Sorry, I am not very mechanically inclined. Is there a tool I can buy that will tell me?

  3. I took my 01' 996 in for its 60K maintenance a few months ago and asked them to look at the passengers’ seat as the seat heater would not work. They came back and said the switch seemed fine but they would have to pull the seat to look to see what else it could be. Needless to say they wanted to charge me a lot.

    I have the seat out of the car to do some other things. Is there anything I can look at to see what it could be? I really don't know where to start or what to look for.

    :rolleyes:

  4. I think LSU1981 is right. I did the opposite of this mod to my 99--moved the HVAC controls down and installed the dual cupholders into the old HVAC location. My recollection is that to install the HVAC unit to the upper bin you need two brackets, more or less triangular in shape, that go on the right and left sides of the HVAC unit. These two brackets have two screw clips each that the screws that secure the HVAC unit go into. I did not use these brackets when moving the unit to the lower position just above the batwing because from my inspection there was no way they were going to fit (it was snug, even without the brackets). Call board sponsor sunset. I got my retrofit kit from them and they'll know each part you will need.

    Hi ScottArizona,

    thanks for the feedback and help. I only have two dealerships around me and both are less than helpful. I'll swing by one of them today and give them LSU1981 as a part number and see what they say.
