Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Answers come faster when doing searches vs. waiting for someone to reply to you. BTW, in a couple of years, if you keep your car, you'll be asking how to set up a full race suspension and redo your interior in leather and swap engines to get a bigger one and put on Carrera rims, and....
