Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm in the process of purchasing an '03 Boxster 2.7l. and have been told it is fitted with an onboard computor and that this can be accessed by major Porsche dealers. Has anybody had experience with this and is the information from the OBC of any real value in assessing the vehicle? Cheers, Glenn

POST 2Original post

It would be interesting to see how many times, and to what degree, the previous owner bounced off the RevLimitor.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes that would give a driving habit clue but I wonder what else is available. I did find on this site a usefull link called www.autotap.com

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
