    Looks good. No range 5s and 6s. You don't need to be worried about range 1-3s and it only has 24 ignitions in range 4. Looks good from a DME over rev perspective, I have seen way worse.

    There is no way to circumvent this problem except to flash back to stock. This is why some tunes have a device you can buy for extra $ which can be used to flash between stock, the tune, or or a high octane track tune, etc. Unfortunately these devices don't always work the way they were intended to for whatever reason as I experienced. I am surprised CA waited this long to start using a checksum to verify the ECU code hadn't been altered in any way. I ran into this problem in Saint Louis over 10 years ago but I also know they had outsourced this software that checks to a 3rd party software vendor. CA might have been using their own in house software. All tunes are different but personally when I took Revo off and flashed back to stock I literally couldn't tell a single bit of difference. As you said once the turbos spool it generates a ton of boost and power. And the customer service of Revo was horrendous. Glad you got this sorted..

    Another vote for the CTek 7002. I have owned one 15 years or so and used it on a bunch of different cars with both traditional lead acid and AGM batteries. It is a must have tool and is "smart". All you have to do is hook it up and it knows what type of battery it is dealing with and does all the work for you. It also has a maintenance mode which works great when you are working on the car or doing a battery swap.

    Strange it's apparently only an issue from the Netherlands. I have traveled to Germany and Italy somewhat frequently and never had a problem accessing from there (usually from an iPhone).

    One other thing I find interesting is it seems like Porsche has changed the convention to the VW-style naming convention for sensors, etc in the newer series like 991.2. G203, G204, etc... this is VW/Audi style language.

    You guys are correct about ignition angle, different OEMs refer to it differently and I had forgotten this is what the variable is called in Durametric. You should also check the Camshaft Position Deviations, which is effectively the angular deviation from what the vane cell adjustor is supposed to be advancing or retarding the timing. Generally the timing is locked in the fully retarded position to start and then is advanced by the DME using oil pressure and a solenoid. A PIWIS can tell if the car has been tuned but there is no way that I know of in Durametric. If Durametric has a field for the number of times the ECU has been flashed as some do, this could be an indicator. If it was tuned, Porsche or the tuner should be able to set it back to stock. For your question about o2 sensors, are you looking at the precat or postcat value? The post cat value should not "follow" the precat value. For my naturally aspirated 996 here is an old thread of mine with relevant notes, I would think it should apply to the turbo as well overall: Going back and reading that thread of what I did 10 years ago is pretty funny... I never would buy the O2 sensors on Amazon now like I did back then. I am wiser now... but also older 😉

    Correction to my post above. Your numbers look similar to this: Tests WWW.SYSTEMSC.COM Automotive Electronics for BMW, Porsche, Mercedes Benz, and Asian vehicles Your 996 numbers are very close (appears to be for all 996s both NA and turbo, which makes sense I think): Porsche 986/996 MAF & DME System Data RPM MAF (volts) Mass Flow Ignition Timing Load (ms) Pulse (ms) Idle 1.30 15 5.0 1.10 2.6 1000 1.35 20 10 1.20 2.6 2000 1.70 40 23 1.20 2.7 3000 1.90 60 32 1.20 2.7 4000 2.11 80 36 1.20 2.6

    Thank you, I think you are right. The degrees make me wonder if it is a reference to the vane cell camshaft adjustor's position as this is also closely related to the ignition timing (it's job is to advance or retard it). I expect that it would be fully advanced, somewhere near 40 degrees, at WOT or high RPMs when the timing gets advanced. The numbers sound normal to me except if this is the case the 6 degrees at idle is too much.

    Please use a Porsche-specific scanner. Kidding!!! If you can't set it to english I can have my wife translate all of this stuff for us 🙂 It's telling you in German that there is an issue with the parking sensors. kurzschluss basically means short circuit on the G204. The G203 and G206 are getting no signal and the G204 and G205 it is saying has a defect. Sensor for Parking Aid; Rear Left (G203) Sensor for Parking Aid; Rear Mid-Left (G204) Sensor for Parking Aid; Rear Mid-Right (G205) Sensor for Parking Aid; Rear Right (G206)

    I don't know what an ignition angle is. Do you mean the cam deviation? That is measured at idle with the engine at operating temperature. 6 degrees would be pretty high, how many miles are on your engine? It's not common but the Mezger can stretch chains as I have discussed with Jake Raby in the past.

    Sounds like you went to two people but at least one of them is not professional. Seek a mechanic who has experience on this platform. If you think it's bore scoring the cheapest and easiest way it can be confirmed is with an oil analysis. That engine is Alusil so that would be my first concern. If you have scoring I would switch to Driven FR50. Also I would change the oil frequently because you will get more contamination which will exacerbate the problem.

    As you can see in your screenshot, the two reverse gears have different ratios. This is particularly useful, for example, when on snow or ice.

    Had the exact same car and the cause was the drive cable needed to be replaced. Agree with Loren though, check that first and if that is not the case you should be able to inspect it. I unbolted the passenger seat from the floor to fix it, if I recall they are torx.

    battery vent tube....? I can see the little hole there it looks like it should be plugged into

    I have no experience with the electronic brake fluid tester in your picture, only the OTC pen tester, so I cannot opine except the following. The fact that it's saying 1.5% moisture content for brand new fluid -- it either isn't very accurate (most likely) or the new fluid you bought is contaminated with moisture. I see they have different colors in your measuring strips but I don't know what % that translates to. New fluid should not have high moisture content, this is the whole point of replacing the fluid to get the moisture content down.
