​​​​​​​There is the PDK 🤣

Yup happened to me twice in the past year now. A bit frustrating when it happens but my car likes to sit on the flatbed tow truck and go for a ride every now and again. Lol.
dealer said it shouldn’t happen again as he did what you indicated above until a permanent fix is available. Thanks for sharing as I’m glad it’s just not my bad driving habits making it happen.

All 718s with manual or certain VIN range?

I’m not sure. Mine is a 2020 received in July.

Porsche fixes this with two tiewraps, seriously?

aurieg92

is the problem that the thing is loose or that it's exposed and so stuff on the road can knock it loose? either way, three trips and that's a lemon law case.

Seems like something we should all do as preventative maintenance.

PDK isn't flawless. On my previous 981 Cayman GTS, after some spirited driving, especially on less than perfect pavement, the tranny would , on occasion, go into a limp mode and wouldn't shift. I could drive in 2nd and 3rd. Eventually, I figured out that if I stopped the car, turned everything off and re-started after about 5 min, all would be fine again. But the first time this happened, I was quite upset. When I went to the dealer, they couldn't find anything wrong at all.

This two tie wrap fix should be installed at the next oil change. It sounds too easy to pass up.

For those of us waiting on our cars to arrive from the factory, does anyone know if this something that the dealer would do automatically during PDI or would it need to be requested? Thanks!

Only porsche can charge $17 for a freakin zip tie

This looks VERY doable at home, yes? Drop rear mid diffuser, apply two zip ties, replace diffuser, done? Any tricks to diffuser removal?

It's a joke I tell ya! I just couldn't resist.
