Our new 2017 718 has developed a squeak every time it up shifts or down shifts... it's a short little chirp and is quite noticeable at low speeds. The vehicle only has 3500 miles on it and was delivered 6 months ago. We have not taken it in for it's first service yet, but I was wondering if anyone else has heard the same noise with their new 718 w/PDK?

Thanks & I agree, but I wanted to see if this was an isolated incident.

what you find out from the dealer?

Late reply due to late repair... the squeak was from a waste-gate in the turbo. The turbo had to be replaced. $3200.00 at dealer cost under warranty.
It would squeak with every up shift and every down shift, as well as every time the SPORT button was pressed while sitting at idle.
The dealer said this is the first one they have ever seen with this issue.
