What do you mean by "quite a bit higher". I always check displays against the source using my Fluke 88. And from what I remember (and I'll measure it again), it was either spot on or off by 0.1V.

For a new aka healthy AGM battery, 12.9V. Of course if you get into your car, switch the ignition on so that you can read the MFD or anytime you have a load on, it will read lower.

Regular ramps that I place under my back wheels in my sloped driveway which places the vehicle level.

For anything else, I use my MaxJax 2-post lift.

I highly doubt your spark plugs at such low mileage were worn to make that change unless they re-programmed the PDK. Sort of like installing an aftermarket muffler and you think the car is faster.

Different design between the 991.1 and 991.2 coolant pumps. And if that is the case, why did they extend the warranty to 10 years on the 991.2 coolant pumps.

Exactly, so why is it they fail so often on a 991.2, if they are such "extremely simple" devices? The answer is, they over-complicated the .2 coolant pump. And what, to save the planet.

And to reduce a turning circle by 0.5m or 20 inches. Hell, I'm never in town or in parking lots and I do not need the added complexity. Same with axle lift, etc.
