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.

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

POST 1Original post

Been reading with all sorts of opinions but nothing consistent as far as thoughts on PDK reliability on the 987.2 2011 and on Trying to settle a debate with a non understanding Porsche person This is a base car I have read web posts on all sorts of issues but I think the web is where most complain. Hoping this forum with real Porsche people can help me understand how durable or not the PDK is My car has 69k miles . PDK fluid / filter done at 50k. Other than slow shift from reverse to forward after sitting for days she runs fine

POST 2Original post

Well ours only has 40k trouble free miles on it. On the other hand, here’s a 2010 with 200k trouble free miles . You’ll read about failures here and there on the internet, just as one would with any device/manufacturer, but PDK has a great track record.

POST 3Original post

that is my thought at well, but thought Id throw it out to those in the know . Thanks for the response!

POST 4Original post

Mine has 45k on it and I’ve never had any issues with mine. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

POST 5Original post

My MY2010CS is just over 200,371K miles and just recently the PDK is a bit wacky. BGB suspects age related changes with seals etc. They’ll be working on it soon. I would recommend have a PDK assessed by a trustworthy Porsche Specialist. Not necessarily a Porsche Dealer. A professional specialist should be able to determine what’s up with their computer scanning. I’m sure a dealership can do that as well but it’s important to know your specialist personally. BGB Motorsports here in Ormond Beach , Florida , can get it right. John Tercel and the BGB crew are the best Porsche specialists I’ve ever know. I’ve been a Porsche owner since 2006. My 2010 Cayman S I’ve had since 2012. This is the best car I’ve ever had. BGB will keep it going strong.

POST 7Original post

My 2011 CS PDK died last year due to a faulty shift rod sensor at 85K. But the car is tracked hard and my mechanic said I should have had a cooler on the gear oil side. In general I've found the PDK to be pretty rock solid. K
