Default how did you get all that money to get the cars listed in your profile? Did your parents help you?
do you think disabling the log would cause your warranty to be void?

Default It was my ailing grandfathers last wish as he lay in agony on his death bed, he just managed to
mouth out the cars he needed me to purchase to fulfill his last dying wishes.

But I was just curious because after the break in period, can they claim that you abused the car by reving it too high too often ? I sometimes get worried as car dealers tend to be rather slippery Plus, I'm still not sure on how I am going to break the car in... ie.. method

Default I broke mine in using the audi manual. No oil needed until 3600 when the light came on.
I added 2 qts of 0w-40 oil.

I think it is just a snap-shot at the time of failure not a detailed history of everything

Default I know that Porsche can extract a lot more info than Audi out of their ECUs...
They are more like airplane black boxes. IIRC the 996 as two ECUs.
