Anyone have a good definition of levels 1-4?

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.

Pertaining to what? Possibly level 1-4 of fuel flow or rpm range? Possibly missfire at a certain range due to plugs but showing up as fueling problem?.... Which software?
POST 3Original post
I thought there were only 2. One being an over-rev beyond redline(BAD), the second being a rev up to redline(NORMAL).

Nope, according to a Porsche tech yesterday there are four - just not too many occurrences over 2. I have around 950 level 1 and one level 2. Each apparently is not a complete incident, but a single cylinder event... Or so the tech explained. He also said 3 and 4 were usually associated with downshifts that the rev limiter could not deal with. Level 4 seemed fairly catastrophic. He just did not have the exact descriptions at his fingertips.

Ralphy- Sounds like you already knew the answer to the question....

Is somebody a level 4 customer now? Want an explanation of that one hehehe

That tech needs to go back to training. Your 996 has Range 1 and Range 2. Nothing more. Our Range 1 is a rev limiter incident and Range 2 is a mechanical over-rev (i.e., missed down shift). As far as the exact number (RPM) that the system starts to record the Range 2 is something I do not know off hand. Maybe he confused your car with a 997? FYI.....the 997 actually breaks it down into 6 ranges with descriptions (very nice compared to our 996's) range 1-RPM Range 7,300-7,500 range 2-RPM Range 7,500-7,700 range 3-RPM Range 7,700-7,900 range 4-RPM Range 7,900-8,400 range 5-RPM Range 8,400-9,500 range 6-RPM Range 9,500-11,000

That explanation certainly makes sense. Thanks.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
