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.

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 1Original post

987.1 Steering column up/down adjustment will not lock. Was attempting to adjust the steering column up/down position and now it will not lock. It will only lock in place for the in/out adjustment. Anyone know what the issue could be?

POST 2Original post

This has happened to others. There is a long thread on fixing this over on ********: 987 steering adjustment broken - ******** - Porsche Discussion Forums The dealer will want to replace the entire column. Take a look at the thread though, you might be able to DIY it. Let us know how it goes.
