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.

I'm getting a 996 inspected this morning. Chances are I'm probably just about to find out! Migration info. Legacy thread was 30897

RMS = rear main seal where the engine adjoins the transmission. They're prone to leak on some cars (996s, 997s and Boxsters) - no telling which - and it's a c£500 fix. But if a car has gone ?20-30K miles with no problems, then the risk seems minimal. IMHO. Migration info. Legacy thread was 30900
