OK the dealer found codes this time. He said it indicates "stuck in gear"

He is sending all the codes to the Motherland and will notify me of their findings later today.

TBD.

Dealer wants to keep it overnight in case tech support wants him to do any tests. He will call me at 10 AM tomorrow morning with a status

Well, the tech support team wants the dealer to check the tranny oil level both manually and with the electronic sensors

TBD

jlanka,


I'd try not to get too worked up over it. It's a new car and sometimes there are bugs that need to be worked out. Things like this have happened to me with many a new car that I've purchased over the years.

They will get it right. If not, they replace it and you move on. Like any manufacturer, Porsche is making minor tweeks/improvements on this PDK every day. I know because I hear it from my buddy who's living in Stuttgart right now and it's a small town.

Please keep us updated!

I'm not worried. I know they'll fix it. Just trying to keep a log here so others can reference it in the future.

They're going to replace the PDK. They're saying the PDK fluid is leaking into the tranny fluid. I guess it's a seal problem.

A little more detail from the service manager:

Looks like it will go back together quickly for you.
