These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

If anyone in 996 land is wondering what kind of guy Ahsai(Duncan) is, let me tell you:
Class Act
Thank you Duncan for you gift which wasn't necessary but much appreciated!!
Don't know what started this thread but I concur that he is a very valuable member of this and other forums. Not only for his engine thread but his vast knowledge of the electrical systems is astonishing and he is always willing to help people with problems. I always seek out and read his posts as it is always a learning experience. It does not surprise me that he is a good human being, as well!
Wow, thank for all the kind words, guys! Doesn't deserve a thread lol
I'm always happy to help and share whenever I have a chance so I can share the joy and satifaction of diy, successful troubleshooting, and understanding how our cars work. I truly think that adds to the overall Porsche ownership experience.
The "gift" was just a small value gift card that's not worth mentioning at all. It's really nothing compard to Groov's generousity and time of giving and shipping his combination switch to help someone halfway around the world in France (twills99) and then me. Really appreciate the act of kindness. Truly impressed by some members here.
Btw, my engine rebuild has been put on hold as I've been too busy with my family but I'm hopeful to restart it before the end of this year.
Yeah he is super cool. Offered advice and then offered to pay for a test kit I bought that didn't indicate the issue I had... Unheard of integrity on the inter webs....
Nice going gang. You cost poor AHSAI $$. Now he has to buy a new helmet, the old one is too tight after all of that praise.
I totally agree with all of the accolades.
He is even known north of the border ... that is international OCONUS reputation for you, folks!
Seriously, outstanding giving individual!
Thanks for all you do here and on Renntech, Ahsai!

Not just north of the (US) border, he'd even helped me, across the Pacific Ocean and a little down towards the South Pole.
He even replied back to my thread that was 2 months old (that was how long it took me to do the DIY).
Ahsai has helped me off the edge more than a few times, thanks for being generous with your time,knowledge this is my first 911 - like you I aspire to make my high mileage car back to its glory bolt by bolt
Has Ahsai gone into hiding? Does anyone know his whereabouts? Haven't seen him on any of the forums in over a year. He is truly missed in the Porsche community.
I also have wondered what happened with Ahsai. I followed him extensively and learned all about my 996 from his posts when I first got it about four years ago. I kind of assumed he sold his 996 and moved on.
My dear forum friends,
Our friend Ahsai responded to me in email and is doing fine, but because of changes related to COVID-19, he's had to take a break from the forums while focusing on working from home.
He sends us his greetings in good health! (see email cc below)
That's awesome, I asked a ? and he responded w great information and help me fix it.
Hope things change with this virus in next few months for everyone.
