I am lost. so the car was driven 6872 SECONDS? MINUTES? above 6800 rpms during its all life of 596 hours? how is it all looks for the car with 11k miles, 2008 997.1 turbo tiptronic? can you just tell me was the car abused a lot? driven a lot?

and why my @ H always says 0?

 

In summary, the number listed (6872) is the number of ignitions that have been above 6800.

3 ignitions for every revolution, at 7200RPM 120 revolutions per second. This means at 7200RPM you have about 360 ignitions per second.

6872 ignitions, at 360 ignitions per second...do the math to figure out the number of seconds your engine has been above redline.

Please do a search...this has been discussed multiple times.

 

Hello. so 20 seconds car was above that rpm in its life? is it a lot? not a lot? can you just tell me overall, how bad was the car abused according to this data? and how good is it acording to this data? and overall hours vs 2008 year how much was it driven? and last thing is, why all ign ranges shows 0 h?

Sorry I am new to forum and I am from Ukraine so it is hard for me to find info just yet.

 

Based on these readings your car was not abused - it has been driven very easy, maybe even by an old lady. At 360 ignitions per second, your range 2 reading says your car exceeded 7000 rpm but not 7200 rpm for 0.68 seconds - two blinks of an eye.

Are you sure you have the hour readings correct? Since there were no ignitions reported in ranges 3-6, 0 hours is correct. But there should be an hour reading for ranges 1 and 2 though - that hour reading would tell you the hour that the last entry into the range was made. For example if your range 1 reading were 6872/200 this would mean that the last over rev occurred at 200 hours, doesn't mean they all occurred then. Figure maybe 40 mph average based on 596 hours your car should have about 24,000 miles and if the last over rev occurred at 200 hours it happened at about 8,000 miles.

I just notice you only have 11,000 miles so it has been driven at an average of less than 20 mph - more proof of the "old lady" comment.

 

It hit the rev limiter a couple of times, no big deal.

 

No big deal, and many more to come. I got the read out of my DME before I purchased it, id love to compare it now

 

+1

Didn't notice this at first.

 

What can be the reason of it display 0 hours in durametric?

 

How do you get the dme reading? I am wishing I got them on my car before purchasing.

 

Selling dealer should provide on request or you request whomever does the PPI to get the info for you.

 

Try doing it again.
