All:
As I am fairly new to this world, could the DME intelligentsia please give me some feed back on the below DME read out for a 2010 997.2 with about 25,000 miles. Thank you.

Number of ignitions at speed> maximum speed, range I - 75
Operating hours counter reading at overspeed, range I - 1042.34h

Number of ignitions at speed >maximum speed, range 2- 2
Operating hours counter reading at overspeed, range 2 - 385.06h

K040 Test counter for c.c. diagnosis bl 0

K050 Test counter for c.c. diagnosis b2 0

MI 20 Misfire counter for every ignition 13563

Number of ignitions at speed>maximum speed, range 3 0
Operating hours counter reading at overspeed, range 3 0.00h

Number of ignitions at speed maximum speed, range 4 0
Operating hours counter reading at overspeed, range 4 0.00h

Number of ignitions at speed maximum speed, range 5 0
Operating hours counter reading at overspeed, range 5 0.00

Number of ignitions at speed maximum speed, range 6 0
Operating hours counter reading at overspeed, range 6 0.00

 

I'm no expert but from what I understand 75 in range 1 and 2 in range 2 in almost nothing at all. No worries.

 

Yea, looks good.

 

Excellent report.... nothing to worry about.

 

Thank you

 

That was probably a church car.

 

Yes, miles to hours of service ratio bear that out. Would the fact that it appears to be somewhat of a garage queen be of concern??

 

Not a queen. About 5,000 miles per year. Nice find.

 

Ruby red metallic. Am close to pulling the trigger. Still looking for a blue but this car is beautiful.

 

Just curious... does this car have a Manual or PDK transmission.

 

Manual with those numbers. Gotta be.

 

Not necessarily, which is why I asked the question. There have been posts, here on Rennlist, which document that PDK cars can have ignitions recorded in Rev Ranges 1 and 2.

 

I know about those. They are very-very rare. And not similar numbers to these.

 

According to a thread in 991 that had some really detailed info on this, the operating hours counter is hours since the reading. In this case the last range 1 occurrence was 1042 hrs ago, range 2 385 hrs ago. That's engine hours, so both were long ago.

Where this comes in is warranty coverage. First off, like Scott said, these ranges don't even count. If you want to know which ones do, find that thread and read it. But here's the thing- its all a numbers/probability thing. In other words, even very high over-revs may not cause any problems. But if they do, it will show up right away. Thus the counter. There is a cutoff, I want to say 1000 hrs but find the thread, where if the engine has run that long since the over-rev then it will no longer void a claim.

So this car, not only does it have inconsequentially low range over-revs, but they occurred so long ago its safe to assume they would no longer be a concern anyway. With any luck it was the first guy breaking it in the right way with lots of WOT to redline early on. I know its a stretch, but it would add to your rare find status if that's what it was.

 

Ignore this post. So much misinformation it's unbelievable. Chuck I'm glad you stop trolling the 991 Forum, but now you're over here on the 997 Forum spewing misinformation and drivel. Go take your meds. Stay in the OT Forum.

Make sure you remind the 997 Forum you've never owned nor driven a 997 series 911 so they know your point of reference.
