Its ok Chris, he's allowed to be smug because 993's were so well built that they never needed a re-call, that is apart form the wiring loom re-call on pre varioram cos cars were catching light, and cabriolet roof locking lugs replaced because owners were finding that it was far quicker to lower the roof by having the wind just rip it off rather than that stop/put it in neutral/wait 25 seconds old malarky.

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.
