[QUOTE=eslai]Randall--didn't even know that the counts existed when I picked up the car. In the future I'm pretty sure I'd do what you suggested!QUOTE]

I wonder if these rev-counts are time & date stamped in the DME?? Like Randall suggested, they may have happen prior to your purchase. It would be interesting to see the print-out from your dealer, Eslai.

I'm pretty sure only the hour of the most recent incident is recorded.

Hi,

Porsche was not allowing Dealers to do any repair to either Engines or Transmissions. That has relaxed slightly with some internal repair now being done by the Dealerships. I do not know whether they have the option to do it or not.

But, for the type of failure Eslai experienced, even under the new rlaxed rules, the Dealer would not be able to service it, remove and replace only...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
