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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I want to pull a report on a 996 that I should be purchasing next week, and was wondering people's experience with these reports. Is there a better company to use overall with better info? Dealerships here still using Carfav, there are others as well that are less expensive. What have you used?

This is great work! When was the data last updated? Wonder if anyone has done the work to remove car that have been confirmed destroyed.

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