And that said this PDK on my 970 is buttery smooth: not harsh at all.

If my '14 970.2 TTS is on a steep enough incline, seems to be about a 12% grade or steeper, it will start in 1st gear regardless of mode. Otherwise 2nd gear in comfort and sport mode, 1st in sport+.

Porsche has issued a "campaign" software update for the 2018 Panamera. The next time you take it in they will automatically perform the update. It will then show up on your paperwork indicating the update has been done.

pdk noise
I have a 2014 991 turbo. I have a small rattle should inside the cabin at idle. At first we thought the rattle noise may be coming from the rear pully tentioner, but you can only hear the rattle inside the cabin. You can not hear any unusual noise while standing outside at the rear of the car. It is hard to describe the noise , it come and goes and its not very loud, but you can hear it if you try to notice. it is like a rotating metal sound or disk metal rubbing, swooshing sound. Goes in and out.. I think when car is cold it sounds more.
One porsche mechanic said it is the PDK clutch plates.. under low load.. at idle there is a little vidration noise chatter of plates? as soon as you apply load ( rev up a little ) the sound goes away. I replaced the PDK oil and the idle sound is still there.
Has anyone had this experience?
