These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Would just reuse the filter housing o-ring. Tighten up hand tight and watch for leaks......that won't happen.

Do all my servicing on my 996.1, its an easy enough car to work on especially now I've got myself a quick jack lift.
And doing it myself I know exactly what's been done plus I'm enjoying tinkering with it.
