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 had a 944 before my 996. I learned when I was buying it that rusty sills are almost a matter of "when will they rust" rather than "will they rust" on 944's. These cars were fully galvinised, just like the 996, but it didn't stop rust catching up with them eventually. So, it got me wondering. What areas of the cars are going to be rusting through on every 996 in another 10-15 years time (ignoring the door catch issues that seem to have already caught a good few of us early 996 owners out!)? Any thoughts?
