He was just messing with you.

No harm done. Just a few more range 1 over-rev counts from bouncing off the rev limiter. Those are never a concern anyway, especially for a PDK.

Is the Fetzrer valve located next to the prostate?

Nope. Right next to the ball bearings. Make sure you have some gauze available when you go to repack them.

Thanks for the quick response.

I was about to call the dealer right now since the car is getting snow tires on as I type!

I am still learning all this stuff.

Don't forget the 10 quarts of antifreeze, preferably Prestone. No, make that Quaker State...

Lucky you weren't driving one of the newer 991.2 models with the turboencabulator. Could be looking at a serious repair bill in that case, no warranty on those.

I saw this thread when it started and thought the OP was being a little dramatic...

This happened to me and now I know why he posted the question! DOH! I definitely damaged the Flux Capacitor

It's definitely a What The Heck moment.
