I think Jeff, although I'll let Niko speak for himself, that this isn't an actual problem.
The nature of the PDK 'box is a lot more mechanical than the super silky auto boxes we're all used to nowadays (particularly the ZF) so I think it's fair to expect the odd clunk and whine from time to time, after all, it is actually an "automated-dual-clutch-manual"
My solution to this is open the PSE and up the revs. You can't hear it then

It's actually made by ZF. It's different to the robotised manuals that Aston fitted, amongst others - is that what you mean by "automated-dual-clutch-manual"
I like your thinking Jimmy!ralphmusic said:ScaredJimmy said:I think Jeff, although I'll let Niko speak for himself, that this isn't an actual problem.

Hey Jeff,
As I mentioned in previous post, it kept doing this (a quite loud tick) when cold - as I was slowly getting out of a steep underground parking. I think it was playing between 1st/neutral/hill hold, engaging and disengaging. On level ground and at low speeds you can barely hear the gear changes, but I think that's normal. And PSE masks it nicely!

Hi Ralph, Sorry, yes, I should have been more specific and said "ZF's Torque Converter Multi-geared Automatics". I'd never refer to a PDK, DSG or SST gearbox as an "Automatic". I didn't know ZF made the PDK, I thought it was just the casing and primary bearings they made?
