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

I own a 99' 996 C2 Cab that I must install a Coolant Expansion Tank in. Can anyone give me step by step guide or point me to one? It doesn't look terribly difficult but I'd like some advice from anyone who may have undertaken this job. Apparently, the original tank is cracked somewhere behind it, according to our local Porsche dealership. Thanks mac
