Hi,

I know w/newer Porsches that one can plug a computer into the ECU and get an over rev. report that tells the range (1-6ish) and operating hours of over rev. events. Is this possible w/most modern cars? Reason I ask is that I'm in the market for a used Golf R and given the type of car and likely driving habits of owners, I'm wondering if there is a way to get a little extra info on the engine's history and possible use/abuse etc...

Thanks,
Tom
