There have been a few post on PDK's and potential issues so I thought it might help if we had a poll on PDK's and how reliable they have been in general. Hopefully this will help clarify if 991 owners with older cars should be worried about potential issues.

1. What year is your car?
2. How many miles?
3. Have you serviced your PDK?
4. Have you had any PDK issues?

@joserpaq May I suggest creating a google sheet form to capture this data might be more effective for analysis? I whipped one up for kicks since I'm at the airport traveling.

Do you mind sharing what issues you started having initially and what led up to it needing to be replaced

Had no issues at all. The PDK was working perfectly but one morning backed out of garage and after driving a couple of blocks I got PDK failure on display and car would only work in reverse. Reversed back to the house and after restart it would only go into 2nd so that's how the tow truck took it. From what I've read looks to definately be a distance sensor issue but porsche won't repair. They only replace which is fine by me due to CPO. If I didn't have CPO I would have gone the repair route since the sensor is available and there are some shops that do the work on them but even so it's still very expensive.
