Boxster S newbies worries

[JasonGibson]

John, yours starts 673

M96.24 - Boxster S 2003-2004

6 = No. Of cylinders
7 = Engine Model No. (5 & 7 are Boxster, 3,4,6 & 8 are 996)
3 = Year

And I think the G-box is Tip (starts with A)

No the first bit is a batch number, the last bit is the relavent bit. So what is your full engine number?

PS God knows where I found this, I think it was from a US site, but cannot find the source anymore.

I was happy as one of the first 3.2 S Boxsters mine is double row
