I don't know how to check versions but I'm sure any Porsche Ctr would be happy to confirm what's in the car.

Suggestion · Original poster

They upgraded the software and the PDK feels completely different, much smoother transitions on gear changes, both auto and manual mode, also much more confident on hard acceleration, the service consultant said the car would feel much better and he was right.

They also replaced the fuel pumps under some service campaign, that was not an issue a driver would notice more a item they'll change as the car is serviced to avoid some future problem.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Had my 997.2 in for it's first service last week at PCM. I'd been having intermittent slipping of the PDK between 1st and 2nd gear changes and sometimes slipping off the line on slow starts. They upgraded the software and the PDK feels completely different, much smoother transitions on gear changes, both auto and manual mode, also much more confident on hard acceleration, the service consultant said the car would feel much better and he was right. Has anyone else had any issues with the PDK slipping or experience with the software needing to be upgraded? They also replaced the fuel pumps under some service campaign, that was not an issue a driver would notice more a item they'll change as the car is serviced to avoid some future problem. Overall they did their usual great job on the service.

POST 2Original post

put my 997.2 manual car in for its first service (4000klms)& they changed the fuel pump as part of a service campaign under warranty. Can't say there was anything wrong or that i notice any difference. the service guy said it was part of the ongoing improvement plan????

Hi there I have a 98 PDK Carrera, I am just wondering if the software needs to be updated Thanks for your help!! Cheers David

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

David, If it's an 08 PDK I assume the car has had a few services and it may be already updated. I don't know how to check versions but I'm sure any Porsche Ctr would be happy to confirm what's in the car. My experience was a considerable improvement, much smoother, it's worth asking about it at your next service.
