Read evidence and context

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.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

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.

Despite its low (11k) mileage, my MY02 996 has had numerous visits to the OPC to replace suspension bits, usually front strut top bearings, but including new drop links all round, new bushes, new lower wishbone!

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.

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

POST 5Original post

my 996 C2 suspension also creaks like a ship in sail, although sometimes its drowned out by the windscreen creaking noise. i have had the windscreen repaired twice (silence for around 6 weeks, then starts again....) and will be going in again. i'm completely unsure what to do about the other noises, i think i'll wait and see what happens....
