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.

OPC will do it by the book, i guess they have to but the Indi will do it the old school way try and fix it over replacing complete part and saving on lots of labour I had a similar experience not so long ago.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My Targa had her MOT on Monday but unfortunately she failed on a powersteering pipe cowling that was split. ( situated under the drivers side wheel arch) The OPC wanted £1,224.42 to fix this issue. I declined and took my car to a local Porsche independent, they fixed this by cutting off the old cowling (clip) and applying a jubilee clip. Job done in less than 15 mins and all for the price of a drink. The independent said that Porsche would want to replace all of the pipe which is a big job (around 6 hours) as they would not mend The pipe. my re-test is Saturday so now all should be fine.
