993 Heater unit

[Black_mamba]

Odd question maybe but can you help. The 'snowflake' aircon buttons are in the righthand side of my heater unit (nearest to the steering wheel) and windscreen recirculation buttons are on the left, nearest the passenger. Most others I've seen are the other way round. Which way round should the buttons be and why is mine 'special'?

Cheers

I can't remember for certain but it could be they made different layouts for LHD and RHD - if yours is different from the majority of others that have the steering wheel on the same side then maybe it's had a replacement at some stage. If the buttons do what they should I wouldn't worry too much - that sort of detail is unlikely to even be picked up by Concours judges (aka the most anal people in the world).

Mine is the same - RHD MY96 - I'm fairly certain that it hasn't been changed. Concours failure? Nope - the previous owner entered it into a PCGB one, and it wan't picked up

Mine is the same. RHD car.

This is correct for RHD. When they breakdown and are replaced with a used unit, people do not realise that they may well be fitting a replacement from a LHD 911...

Phew...I saw a 'new' replacement one on the 'bay, thought it might be good to have in the spares cupboard, new from HR Owen...allegedly. Seller showing a RHD drive car (at 911v) but control unit back to front so must be a lefty, glad I checked with the beardy collective

Why "phew"? I can't see that it matters on the slightest. The car has terrible ergonomics anyway, so with none of it being particularly intuitive I can't see what difference it makes to learn the buttons one way around or the other?
