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.

97k daily driver, soon to start climbing more quickly as my commute is going to go from 5 miles to 20. I can't imagine having this car and not driving it every day.
~125k, original engine, original single row IMS, Mobil1 0w40 throughout its life, stock oil filter assembly, stock thermostat, no noise, redline at least once every time I drive it.
144k+ and it runs great. My favorite car by far to drive. Have had it almost a year, DD it thru a really nasty winter. Love it so much I'm starting the search for a 996tt (assuming business stays good!). These are fantastic cars.
Dave - congrats! Maybe in a separate thread, but pics, details and maybe some thoughts on search and pricing. I'll bet 90% of NA drivers would be interested in the info.
Oops. Just visited the 996tt forum and saw your thread. Still, I think a thread here on your experience and info gained would be welcomed. Ironic that your Na is speed yellow and you bought a black turbo. I've got a black NA and will be looking for a Guards Red turbo, but will also look at speed yellow cars. Love the cars with color.
My favorite threads are always the high mileage ones. Just turned 70k couple of days ago. Coming up on one year of ownership as of the 17th. Put just a shade under 8k miles in my first year. Total out of pocket costs past 12 months was $60 for 10 quarts of Mobil 0W-40 and a filter. Still on original IMS and clutch. Hope to get that done sometime this summer.
