You don't say what year your car is, but most problems with earlier PDK boxes seem to be software related, and updating the software seems to cure most ailments. I would suggest asking the PC to update it, if they haven't already done so.
PDK gearbox bug
- Thread starter Richard_Hamilton
- Start date
If any other members have experienced this problem please let me know.
On starting my Cayman S a couple of weeks ago I found that I had a warning message saying "You may not be able to select REVERSE" and on driving off I found the PDK gearbox would only engage the even gears. Managed to get home and on re-starting the car the fault disappeared. I subsequently booked the car into my local OPC to see if they could identify any issue. Two days later no problem found and still waiting for a response from the factory.

I had an overtemp' warning which caused no problems in the driving and went off after a couple of seconds, that was due to an intermittent fault on an internal sensor which was changed a few days later but I'm guessing that they are curious what caused your problem, as Richard says maybe a software update will correct it, they will have done a diagnostic so it would be interesting to know if they found something or nothing...
The factory will probably tell them to check a couple of things then refresh the software.
