997.1 S PPI - Help Please!
Hello all!
Recently purchased this 2006 911 S and love it! I had a PPI done from an independent Porsche shop and would like to ask the experts (you!) on the overall PPI record shown, mainly the over-rev/ignition data. Do you have any advice based on the images? It has an aftermarket head unit to replace the PCM so Im not to concerned about that. Mainly the engine data. Would you recommend Recent or future repairs/maintenance I should be looking at. I'm not an expert and don't understand 100% of the numbers but any knowledge shed on this would be greatly appreciated!

Agree with the others not to worry about that DME. That could have been a single poorly timed or missed down shirt and it happened 1500 engine hours ago.
The other faults...who knows. As long as the PPI checks out otherwise, does it matter?

I think that car may have some sort of a tune or engine modification in it with a piggyback ECU, or the DME has been erased or replaced at some point. That would explain some of the DME and can us gateway faults (some are the audio unit) and if you look at the overrev report, the total operating hours counter is actually lower than the overrevs recorded in the first 2 ranges, which is impossible. The 1s in 3, 4, and 5 don't matter.

more important to me would have been to get carfax, get warrantee history from porsche dealer, and research the car by dealers where it was serviced. !0 yrs is along time but some records could be found

The carfax was very good, clean record but not much in terms of maintenance or service repairs on the car.
Is there a Porsche site i can contact to find that info or would I have to track down through the dealership, I may just have to find the previous owner and ask them about it all! lol
