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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 2003 Porsche 996 Targa with about 26,000 miles on the car. Normal maintenance schedule for the spark plugs and coil pak change is 60,000 miles. Should these parts be changed sooner due to the age of the car even though the milage is low? What milage interval is recommended? Thanks.

Given the age of car, I would first inspect the coils for cracks or just drive it hard in heavy rain. If the motor misses, you got your answer.
