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 contain suggestions: 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.

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

I had a failure warning on my 997.2 GT3 last week and was advised to get in touch with the Porsche Classic section at OPC Leeds ( where I bought the car new) and they took the car in the same day, diagnosed the problem as a thermostat failure, ordered the part and fitted it the next day. Super service from Wayne Marney who heads the department. I hadn't realised that relatively recent cars such as 997s were eligible and it's nice to be able to share a really good OPC experience

POST 2Original post

glad you had a great experience. I was talking to a couple of workshop guys at my local OPC recently and they commented that love working on the older models. Using proper skills to diagnose and fix, rather than plugging in a laptop!

POST 3Original post

+1 and shout out to my man at cardiff (now newport) OPC. Michael York. Brilliant guy. Recommended
