Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've just started doing some research on a potential purchase of one of these toward the end of the year. Budget is between £25-£30k and it will be mostly used on weekends. I always said I'd want a manual but have recently been leaning toward the pdk version as I'm no driving god and don't do track work. There is also a lot more choice of cars. As I'm getting older I do actually prefer driving Autos. Are the transmissions fairly reliable if serviced correctly? I'd like to minimize the borkage factor if possible! I'm guessing 2010 onwards to avoid the common engine issues. Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

Hi There I have no real knowledge to add to this but I have just picked up a 987.2 bang in the middle of your price range. Mine is the manual. After driving auto for the last 8 years this car has a perfect manual gearbox. I am not planning to race or track mine, but I don't feel like I am missing out by not having PDK.
