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.

Not sure if related to my on going exhaust issue but my car wouldn't come out of 2nd gear tonight when I started her. Tried changing down manually with the paddles but no joy as you can see from the photos. Anyone seen anything like this before or any ideas why the pdk did this? Didn't risk finding out what would of happened if I pulled off so switched it on and off and started second time in 1st gear as per normal
The PDK does this in the Panameras depending which mode you have selected and whether the engine is cold or not. I thought the Boxster was set up to always pull away in first though. Very strange.
Car was in standard mode. Literally just turned it on
Never had it myself, but could imagine that (as in a manual car) first can be obstructive very occasionally - particularly when the gearbox is new and the oil cold.

Thanks, as you can see from the pic the temp of the car was ~40c as was still carrying some temp from earlier in the day. I have no idea the temp of the gearbox oil but assume is must have been above rest temp as the car had previously been out in the day and worked. As for the gearbox being new, the car shows ~8k miles. I'm not sure I would consider this new?

A few weeks later... does it appear to be a one off?
