Suggestion

More expensive oil changes due to the fact that the TT uses a dry sump oiling system, not wet sump like the M96 motor.

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.

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

  • Rennlist: 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

Hey guys, I know that this has probably been discussed a million times before, but I couldn't quite find the threads via search for some reason. Could someone kindly point me to some threads where this has been hashed out previously? TIA! [Edit: Just noticed the typo in the subject line, obviously that should be "vs." ] JP

POST 2Original post

I would post in the 996 turbo forum...I bet there are a lot of folks with 996 turbos that have had a 996 carrera previously.
