It will depend on what your warranty contract states. You are likely not obligated to get the work done at the dealer.

Default part number /failure
Did you get the PDCC bottle part number ? Could they be replacing these due to the high number of PDCC failures or could the failure be caused by people not replacing these ? Why would you not replace the bottle again ?

I was charged $1034 after some discount for Belt replacement, PDCC bottle replacement, AWD Clutch fluid service, Brake fluid flush.

BTW I'll never replace (or have it replaced) the PDCC bottle again unless it starts leaking.

They are not replacing them due to a campaign, it is a service interval that was established when the car was new. Trying to find the part online....

PDCC bottle part number
The bottle on our 991 is burred behind the pump and if the tech can mess it up requiring a week delay to get a new tube from the mother land I'm just going to push it off until something happens.

I noticed our bottle is made from a different plastic than the other Porsche models so I'm hoping it's a stouter plastic made to take the heat.

I'll post up the PDCC part number when I get my car back from service..... the slip is in the glove box.

Yes...drove it around for a bit to get the pump moving things around, the fluid still showed the same color.

Sorry to dredge up this old thread, but exactly what fluid is in the PDCC system? And did you get it at the dealer or source aftermarket? Thanks!

Power steering fluid. Pentosin CHF 11S, you can get it almost anywhere. The PDCC pump is a hydraulic power steering pump

I just had this done at my dealer so here are all the part numbers. I'm a DIY'er but I don't want to screw up this system.
