If you mean the engine type number, it defines the year and the characteristics of the engine. 901/XX, 911/XX, 930/XX, 935/XX and so on. The Type has a range of engine serial numbers. Your car VIN and engine type should 'match' hence the term 'matching numbers' unless someone changed engines.unfortunately not too uncommon with these cars. The 356 and 912 serial number database site has been online continuously since October 2000, and currently provides information on 356, 912 and 912E models. The database can be searched by car serial number (VIN) or engine serial number.

The ISO standard VIN was introduced for the Porsche model year 1981.

VINs consist of 17 characters and for Porsche can be decoded as follows:-

VIN number WP0ZZZ99ZTS392124 on a Porsche 993 GT2.

2P = Porsche.
30 (zero) = Passenger car (applies to all except Cayenne and Macan) or 1 = SUV (applies to Cayenne and Macan).

Model Configuration Code (position 13)[edit]

A leading '0' usually means standard coupé, for the RoW markets. For the 944 and 968, US cars are usually identified by a leading '5'. 944 convertibles have a leading '3' (RoW) or '8' (US). Sometimes this model code extends into the 14th digit, such as for the 968 CS which had chassis numbers beginning with '15'.[4]

Jan 22, 2018  We have two PCs (both Windows 10 Pro) that cannot download attachments from Internet Explorer 11. If you try clicking any of the options (screenshot is below), it just doesn't do anything. PDFs, word docs, etc. Chrome works fine. These are the common denominators we've discovered through our troubleshooting so far. Nov 25, 2015  Unable to download files in Internet Explorer 11 For about a week now I haven't been able to download anything from IE 11. I am using win 7 Home edition. I select Download on any file and nothing happens. I then click on the message ' If download doesn't start click here' and nothing happens. Still cannot download files using IE11. Cannot download files ie 11.
