Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

For some reason my car has developed a single loud tapping noise on a cold start for which I feel sure is just a lazy cam follower the noise goes as soon as the oil has circulated, then the engine runs as it as it should, the oil pressure is good it doesn`t smoke, doesn`t use oil but annoyingly after it has warmed up there is now a very light single ticking noise its not overly noisy and you would be hard pushed to record it,

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.
