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

Yes I know this is the 996 section but it was from the technical articles that I had the info of how to do the job. I was going to go to Kwik Fit but battery would not hold any charge, even after being on the CETM charger all night and day, so no way she would start. So I just picked up the battery and fitted myself, using your instructions. This was much better as I could give the battery tray a good clean and put some wax on it, how sad is that? And yes I did use the torque wrench on the fixing bolt. This is a great resource you guys have, I must keep an eye on it for future projects. Thanks, Paul. 997 Carrera 2 Artic Silver
