Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Leading evidence: 'Use fixd plug in' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use fixd plug in' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

New to the 911 community and this forum. Recently purchased a 996 911 Turbo, and have a Check Engine Light after driving her twice. My OBD II reader will not read the code. Does anyone have a recommendation for a quality code reader to read Porsche codes for this car? Thanks.
+1 on Durametric. I just ordered the cable and bought a cheap refurbished laptop and I'm all set. It's something you can always resell possibly quite easily.
I have an elcheapo OBDII scanner and it works fine to read/erase codes. I think I paid around $50 from Autozone. I leave that in the door pocket for quick read/erase. I also have Durametric for more refined work. I also have a Foxwell NT510, which you can buy off Amazon and go to their website and buy the Porsche software (or order it with it already installed). I use that on my Mini and Porsche. Works great with the specific software.
If I were to recommend one, it is Durametric. Well worth the price.
I have three, a centek (Harbor Freight) one for easy jobs but also have durametic that is pretty good but believe it or not there are things I couldn't do that I was able to do with my iCarsoft POR-II. which is like $200. If I had to buy one I would go with iCarSoft.
There are also some threads with people purchasing the PIWIS clone. It is essentially the factory scan tool with cloned software. Debating one of those or a Durametric currently. Ultimately, Durametric is the safe choice with support.
I think that if you can find someone else on Rennlist to pair up with you and you call up Durametric and order 2, they will give you a discount on the unit. Something to keep in mind. You would need to purchase both, take payment from the other person on Rennlist then ship them their unit.
