It's good to finally know what the proper term is for obtaining the car's engine "history." *NM* Laz - Sunday, 19 February, 2012, at 11:47:53 am |

I am having the 12k service, including the memory dump, done at at indy shop, so I doubt an e-copy of the memory dump will be sent to Porsche. Service does not have to be done at a dealer to maintain the car's warranty, but I wonder then who is best to give me info from the memory? Without any dash lights coming on, might there be any information from the memory that indicates something needs to be done under warranty? Is a dealer or an indy more likely to provide this information? A dealer gets paid for the warranty work, but an indy may have incentive to show me work that a dealer needs do to under warranty to show that he did a good job on my car. Any thoughts?
