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.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

For some reason the dogone search routine won't work for me...and I'm trying to find the part number for the expansion tank cap for a 99 996...mine is crusting around the cap and I'm smelling hot fluid. Apparently there's a way to check the number to see if you have the new or the old cap.... I apologize in advance for posting this subject that's been posted a hundred times before....but I keep getting an error message on the search attempts. If you could PM me then we don't bother the list. Chuck Jones

POST 2Original post

Chuck: Try this thread. https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ferrerid=39432 The gist of it is that if the part number ends in 00 replace it with part number that ends in 01 for the cap replacement. However, some have noticed that sometimes the cap replacement doesn't fix the "soon to fail" resevoir tank issue.
