Hello,

I'm new to this forum and have been exploring this community.
I'm looking at a used '09 Cayman with PDK

1)I wanted some help with reading the DME report

Operating Hours - 968.16h
Number of ignitions at speed > maximum speed range 1 - 55
Operating hours counter reading at overspeed, range 1 - 742.69h

The rest are zeros Range 2-6.

2)The PPI also shows PDK buttons do not work. Is this a modification that is typically done by Porsche owners? by software? Would it be related to changing the steering wheel to a different one? I wanted to know if this is something to be concerned and I should be asking the dealer to repair first.

Thank you all for your time!

 

Range 1 rpm's do not exceed the redline so that is not a problem.

As far as PDK buttons not working I would get a estimate for repairing that & ask for discount off the price of the car. Then you can choose if you want to fix it later.

 

Byprodriver responded to the over revs and I have nothing to add.

PDK buttons not working? That's a new one on me. Not sure the buttons can be disabled.

A PDK or PDK control problem can be an expensive problem to fix.

I'd like to know what *exactly* is going on and have this fixed -- with a warranty on the labor/parts -- before I'd buy this car.

 

DME readout is excellent.

I know that PDK buttons can be disabled (people don't like accidentally pushing them while driving), but it's not a common mod and I forgot how it's done..

 

Thanks for all of the replies!

I'll have things checked out. And I hope to be a new owner on this forum!
Have a great weekend!

 

Keep us updated and let us know how everything works out.

 

Could it be that the steering wheel was taken off at some point and the PDK wiring was not reconnected?
