In 2017, when we also sold it, we completely addressed this 911 and treated all 996 ailments as a precaution. For example, he has received a new IMS bearing, a larger water pump for better cooling and an improved thermostat, which opens earlier.

The convertible top had also had its day after almost 20 years, so it was also renewed at the time. If you want to go out with it in the winter, the hardtop supplied as standard with every 996 Cabriolet, is still there.
