Over Rev at 0 Hour!

[white]

I just sent in my car for the first time at Porsche, and after collecting the car, I was advised by my chief mechanic that my car has been driven into the redline a couple of times. I had no recollection of my car revving beyond 3000rpm since i had the car, so i was pretty confused what he meant by that.

So i got a friend to diagnose with a DME read, and to my shocking surprise, my car had a stage 1 over rev at 259 / 0h and stage 2 over rev at 31 / 0h! According to my friend, the engine was over revved 259 and 31 ignitions, the latest over rev for both stages at the 0 hour!!

Does that mean that during the transporting of the car from the Port to the Porsche Showroom, the driver was the main culprit of the over rev? I am the only one driving this car, and never have done such a silly thing to my own car during the run in, so who else could have done it? i wonder.

Also, I thought Porsche cars do have a self limiting rev for the first couple of mileage that prevents over revving, mainly to prevent it during the run in. Is it true?

Could my friend's readout be wrong?

Even if it is real, could I pin point Porsche for their carelessness? After all, the DME only states during the first hour that the 259 and 31 ignitions has been recorded, it doesn't mean that the driver was the culprit.

Anyone, please advise.

Do you have a copy of the working log? Here is some info on the 6 ranges.

I do not know the details but the car is shipped to the dealer with something that limits the speed to 20 mph. That is the red sticker on the shift lever. I assume this is done by limiting the engine rpms. When the car is prepared by the dealer this speed limiter thing is removed.

i took over the car at 10miles. if the limit tag is really what was driven to the dealers, then at 20mph, the car would have done half an hour. that means it's pretty difficult to put the whole blame on the dealer.

The dealer said their shipment is delivered via vehicle trucks and they do not drive the cars.

By the way, i did not see the tag when i collected the car. Maybe they have taken it off by that time.

Once the speed limiter was removed from the dealer, a car wash guy was too happy to make his donuts,,, B)
