The big difference with "this" experience with Pioneer is they couldn't fix my car.
After trying to get an explanation for a year, the PNA rep explained how hard cornering and high RPM dumps too much oil in the heads which causes the smoking . . . there's an add on pump assembly that can fix it . . . voids the warranty though I think.
So you see this is a fundamental design flaw . . . Pioneer or any dealer couldn't fix the problem, so they started collecting data to use against me. I've had my POS F 308 for 10 years . . . I drive it identical to how I drive my 996. I would have welcomed somone from any dealer saying "look at this print out, you need to adjust your driving style". The PCNA rep also said the type 2 over rev's were 1000 rpm over red line . . . 8200 rpm . . . this might have been a flat out lie?
Here's the problem, though, I see if a dealer educates somone on the type 2 over rev . . . probably the second time the guy goes to the dealer after being made aware of the type 2, the guy has adjusted his/her driving style accordingly to not produce any type 2 overrevs yet the car still belches clouds of smoke on restart . . . then Porsche has nothing in their defense.
So basically, the PCNA rep explained that the somking is due to an indadequate lubrication system for hard cornering
, and the type 2 overrev is their way of "not fixing it".
BTW, I was believing the smoke was normal until several of you guys yelled "your cars on fire"
