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.

Thank you all in advance for your help, here is a quick pic of my ride.

POST 2Original post

Tetsuo - Congrats and welcome for the Forum. Nice looking P-car. If I recall correctly, keys are about $125 and the dealer has to program them. Brandywine Porsche has decent prices too. Sorry, but I can't help with the other questions. BTW, you might want to get clear side markers to get rid of the "pumpkin look", only $30 to $35.
