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.

I will be at the NCRC "no frill event" at Thunderhill next Friday (Sept 26th). Will you?
Rich.
PS: The book I have is really good and is worth the buy:
http://www.amazon.com/Porsche-996-Es...1930992&sr=1-1
Thanks for the #'s and the book reference....got it on order now! Being new to Porsches (6 months) that seems like a nice resource.
Not going to that event. Been mostly autocrossing the past couple years. Too busy with work and my kid's sports to sign up for track days far ahead of time. I had a track prepped '95 Mustang and I used to do a lot of events.
My office is in Sunnyvale so you may see my car around.
