DME Overrevs
sidicks replied to Ponch's topic in 997-1 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 2S, Carrera 4S)
That has to be rubbish, if you are talking about the ranges on the 911 (997)? Rev ranges 1,2 and 3 are still lower than the red line, so there would be a serious issue if taking your car up to, but not over, the red line could prevent warranty. This is relevant to me, as my car his recently passed its warranty check, having been referred to Porsche GB, due to some concern about range 4 and 5 incidents. My understanding, consistent with what has been posted above is that ranges 1-3 are normally fine, 4 is a grey area (and it will depend on exactly how many ignitions have occured in range 4), and rev ranges 5 or 6 would require further investigation. Incidents within the last 50 hours are of most concern. For what it's worth, my car had an additional inspection which showed no problems, and hence my warranty was granted. However, it turns out that my car had just 1 incident in range 4 and 1 in range 5 and, as it would be physically impossible for the engine to go through rev range 4 into range 5 (7,900 rpm - 8,400 rpm) in just one ignition (roughly 0.07seconds), this must be a computer error. I've taken this up with Porsche GB. In response to the original poster, rev range 4 and 5 are more of a concern, and although it would be possible to do an additional inspection to verify whether there is any swarf in the oil etc indicating possible damage, personally I would look for another car, as there are plenty around! :) Sidicks
