Superseded part numbers...

So Vertex screwed up my order and sent me a superseded flywheel. I have a 2003 Boxster S and the part number that is on their site and every other site is 986 114 012 06. The part that they sent me is 986 114 012 04.

Is there really any difference between the two parts? Hard to imagine they would change the number without making some kind of change to the part. Really makes me mad that I spent a premium price for a part that has been superseded. Especially since there is a guy on ebay selling the older part number for $454. If I had known, I would have got it from him

Don't know any great detail on your specific issue, but typically when Porsche improves the design they create the new part. Does not mean the old part was bad nec. , and will obviously fit. Should be just like the one you are changing out, so no worries.

Good luck.
