Hi All
Thank you for the feedback in relation to the over - rev issue the main dealer has after my 111 point check. I have e mailed the dealer with thoughts on the matter. Obviously no names of members answers included. But your help is invaluable as it's my first Porsche. I have to say at 57 I have gained quite a bit of cynicism when dealing with the big boys. You never know though, Porsche might be different. I have to laugh to myself as I have never yet had to question a main dealer issue that prevents them from spending my hard earned cash with them, find it a wee bit bizarre.

Hi TS
Well that's what I was thinking. I did cause it, it was one time. I floored the car to overtake aand didn't keep my eye on the revs. The limiter cut in for a second and cut the engine. That won't happen again. He added that if it had been a 6 range Porsche would want an engine change for a warranty.

You can keep your foot to the floor as long as you like bouncing of the limiter at will it will not cause a rev range 3 reading.

also it's not possible to get a reading of 1, and that can show up and is an error, OPC are a bit clueless when it comes to rev ranges .

...which is odd given the importance. The OP told me there were supposed to be 3 in range 2. How you get 1 in range three and only 3 in range 2 is a clever trick! Clearly erroneous.
 
Update on the over-rev issue. The OPC dealer is getting in touch with Porsche to get a decision on this and I am awaiting the call. He said that if they are going to stick to it they will work out a discount with me for the work. To be honest the moment in time has passed for me now, and I refuse to pay for another 111 point check and bore scope inspection. Gritters are on our roads the other night so the car is tucked up with its battery conditioner and cover on. So really unless OPC says to me "OK we are disregarding the 2 dodgy readings and will take a card payment over the phone," then they have lost a potential 2 years manufacturers warranty. Will keep you posted as to the outcome. Next year I shall just enjoy the car, this year I have only spent 5 hours behind the wheel as I only got it in September. Roll on Spring 2017 :p
 
Hi All
Well it appears my cynicism is intact. Not a word from my OPC dealer. I think that is quite a shame, a new customer that has already spent over £500 with them. My intention is to care for the car at a main dealership. I have another one in Newcastle I can try. I have to say my main Mitsubishi dealer here in Berwick can knock spots off them. I shall try and email Porsche in Germany, not to complain but to ask the question.
 
Hi TS
Well they knew my thoughts on Wednesday so have had plenty time to make a call. I shall give them the benefit of the doubt and give them 5 working days. when I sent in my email on Sunday I got a call from Leicester head office of the OPC saying they would be calling Monday, I had to call Tuesday to remind them, so really it was Tuesday I spoke with them.
 
Hi
Quick update on the over-rev issue. The out come is Porsche want a compression and leak test done and oil dropped out. OPC Edinburgh have said they will do another 111 point check and the above checks free of charge. That is a very generous offer and unexpected. That garage will get all my business and a 2 year warranty with Porsche assist. Bravo Scott and the team at Porsche Edinburgh
