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.

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 drove my 02 manual for over 2 hours in the 47c heat and it performed flawlessly. Quite a testament to the durability of the 996.

Out in Kuwait, was working there for quite a while and kept my car. I’ve owned it nearly 20 years now and couldn’t part with it. Full OPC history, the only non OEM parts are the dials and seat leathers. It has the PSE, SSK, M030, XSU, hard backs all retro fitted by the OPC.

POST 7Original post

I work in a hot country and while they do put up with a lot of heat, they never see a cold start, which arguably is the worst thing for an engine.
