I had previously posted a thread about what I thought was a squeak coming from the PDK on the all generation Cayman thread.... should have posted it here. I would get a squeak on every up-shift and every down-shift as well as every time I engaged/disengaged the "SPORT" mode. The squeak was audible inside the cabin and from at least 40 feet away on the outside. The problem was a waste gate inside the turbo. Porsche replaced the turbo at $3200.00 at their cost. They said they have never heard of this issue before. I hope this does not re-occur. The noise started at about 2000 - 3000 miles and continued to get louder. It was replaced during the one year maintenance interval with 8000 miles.
I hope I am an isolated incident and it does NOT come back.
Just an FYI...!!!!

Appreciate the post and reporting back. Sounds like it has been resolved?

Surprised they replaced the whole turbo... probably could have lubed the wastegate and/or replaced the actuator instead of the whole turbo.
Oh well... at least you got a brand new turbo

They said that lube was not an option due to the heat from the turbo.
