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.

Discussions that suspect a cause: 1

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.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys, so Ive had my 2000 2.7 Boxster for 6 months now and still grinning :-D Servicing time now, and I have what is probably a stupid question: I'm a little confused about the log entries - there was a major done at 48K miles, as expected, but another major done at 64K - wasn't that too soon? Should I then wait the recommended 24K for the next major? (I'm on 78K at the moment). Thanks C

POST 2Original post

is not by the book as a major maintenance point. But I myself elected to do a major at the same point (45k miles) as I was the new owner and I wanted to be certain of the maintenance status of the car. I'll do another at 60k+ miles. It may be also that the owner elected to do a major rather than a minor based on the age of the car or the length of time since a major. Or the service book could have been mis-stamped or the service incorrectly entered into the dealer's computer.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
