I always use ramps when I change my other cars (5 series wagon and volvo 850t) between scheduled services and I'm sure I'll try the ramps on the 996 in about 5k miles.

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.

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

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

What method do you find to be the easiest regarding lifting the rear- Ramp or Jack?

POST 4Original post

I just got my car (purchased used) so I haven't had to lift it yet. They put it on the dealer rack to change the RMS and do the 15k service just last week. I always use ramps when I change my other cars (5 series wagon and volvo 850t) between scheduled services and I'm sure I'll try the ramps on the 996 in about 5k miles. I have bought the filters and ordered the filter wrench so I'm ready...

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

What did you spend on the filter and wrench?
