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.

Reported cause
It's a shame....its a relevant model too in that it was the first water cooled.
Leading evidence: 'first water cooled' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'first water cooled' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Run groups hang tuff our day will come 👍😁rich' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I noticed that also but we had a few 996 race cars in the race run groups hang tuff our day will come 👍😁Rich
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.

I was pissed off to note that in the "parade" just towards the end of the 1hr show, showed just about every version of the 911, and completely excluded any version of the 996! The year went from 1998 straight through to 2007. Perhaps I'm missing something but it just seemed to me to be a downright kick in the *****!!
Not to mention the car that helped save Porsche from financial ruin. And it was lighter, faster and better equipped than the 993. The Pcar snobbery is still strong with some folks. But it�s all good. Just like the 912 & 914 before it. These black sheep cars� time will come. Be thankful we don�t have to pay 964/993 prices.
If this is true, then very sad. The 996 to me is the best of both worlds "reliability" in a water cooled engine while having many things like the suspension are still mechanical giving the driver more "feel" of the road. 997+ have many computers controlling this for you.
To me
the 993, and many of it's predecessors, is nice that it is the last model('s) of air cooled (something Porsche was known for), more mechanical components giving the driver direct feedback of the road
the 997 is a big Technology leap forward (there's a computer for just about everything, making the drive more "comfortable"), bigger, comfy but less feedback and control of the overall car
the 996 is the best of both worlds introducing water cooled reliability, similar size car from it's predecessor, some computers but retaining many mechanical components
Obviously, the above excludes all GT* versions.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
