I also use Google to search this site rather than using the native search function (which doesn't work very well).

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

986Forum: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This is an absolutely fantastic forum for the DIYer. Is there a way to search by phrase? E.g. "coolant tank". I've tried "coolant tank" and coolant + tank and coolant & tank but I keep getting posts that have both words separately.

POST 2Original post

Norm, Agree: great forum, less-than-great search function. I usually try Googling something like (in your example): "coolant tank" 986 forum or coolant tank:986forum.com The latter should restrict the results to this site. You can quickly see how many responses there are in each thread. In general, the threads with a lot of comments tend to be more useful.

POST 3Original post

I also use Google to search this site rather than using the native search function (which doesn't work very well). As KJC suggested, just start the search with "986forum ..." and you'll get great results.

POST 4Original post

Google is a better search than the native. Use the following in your search bar to return only pages from 986foum.com : site:986forum.com "coolant tank"

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
