Dealer says no over revs but all the DME I have seen clearly say 0 over revs if there are none. This looks more like a code fault page to me but I am a newb here.

That's not a DME report. DME report should have list of Range 1-6 operating time and number of ignitions. Generally, range 1-3 is okay, 4-6 is not.

This is how it should look

Where are the number of launches registered?

To the best of my knowledge that information is not recorded in Porsches. Or if it is it is not something we are privy to.

Porsche doesn’t seem to care about launch control launches. To prove that point a few years ago Porsche gave a Turbo to one of the magazines and told them to launch it as many times as they wanted. I seem to recall the test driver launching it a few dozen times before getting motion sick.

It's in the VAL report. Not sure which page number. Your Technician will know and will be able to tell you.

Thanks for the info. Dealer got me correct report.
Question, how do you read start cycle counter?

LexVan

Take total mileage (looks like about 55,000) miles and then divide by the start counter. I can't read the number, it's too blurry on my phone.

This gives you an estimation on how the car was daily used. Short commutes vs longer commutes.

Catharpin

It was 23841 @ 88453Km so that's 3.7 Km/start? That's an average 2.3 mile trip? Hmmmm

LexVan

It is, what it is. It's just a data point. It's only one piece of the puzzle. No one should buy, nor pass, on one data point. Look at the totality of the information available to you, and decide if this is the car for you. You are just more well informed than most.

Catharpin

On the starts, would the auto stop/start increment the counter? That could explain the high numbers.

Still clean in 2020!~

0 everywhere seems strange to me... Most reports I've seen (mine and others while researching) show "some" 1 and 2s on a car that has been driven. I would suspect something's been reset but I'm just paranoid like that ;-) It totally could have been owned by a grandma with PDK and be accurate.

LexVan

No strangeness whatsoever. I had a report done by the dealership in October on my car. All zeros. 7 speed manual. Over 70,000 miles.

You haven't hit the rev limiter ONCE in 70K miles ? Quoting you from another post "That report (25 range 1) is very clean and normal. That's nothing for range 1 over revs. Just tapping the rev limiter on aggressive accelerations and upshifts near redline." I mean I understand what you're saying, it's just shocking to me to see zero Range 1 - on a manual mind, maybe that's PDK.
