Nail it Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Fantastic and the lack of brake dust is great and more so with the rims I have as they would be a sod to keep clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At PEC Silverstone the other week, my instructor told me they'd never seen a set of standard 981 brakes give any problem under continuous track usage. They have had one set of PCCBs fail however due to over-heating. Strange but true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Prestonese Posted January 2, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2016 Just joined the site. Here's my car from when I picked it up. I haven't had a chance to take any decent artypictures though....... This place seems quite friendly from what I've seen. Looking forward to learning more about these cars and getting to know more about the community! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkGTS Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Has anybody experienced problems with shifting into first from neutral, like when waiting at the lights or in traffic? I get a dreadful noise and sometimes a real "thunk". Got it booked in at OPC next week, but wondered if it's a GTS/981 thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prestonese Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I do. But only when it is really cold and I haven't driven it all week. It goes away once it is warmed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M999PSW Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 How often do you check/ get a tire pressure warning? Mine came up with a tire warning after a euro trip last summer, with one low. I reset all to the correct pressure using a decent gauge. But yesterday another warning on a rear tire and checking the pressures again they were all out. I know its cold but it does sit it a pretty well insulated garage, so just wondered. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkGTS Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Thought I'd update this thread with my GTS woes (and positives!). My gear change issues didn't disappear and I've been back to the dealer a number of times. They originally suspected an issue with the hydraulic system, so emptied it of liquid and refilled it, to make sure there were no contaminants and also to bleed it of air - that didn't work! Another trip and numerous days without the car, and eventually they removed the whole gearbox! They wanted to check the clutch, they weren't sure it was that and so believe it or not they have put a completely new gearbox on it. The whole process means I've been without my car (but did have a Macan on loan) for a good few weeks. The new gearbox was shipped from Germany and the warranty covered it all of course. So so wasn't the best experience initially but my GTS is now perfect and the service was pretty good in the end. Apparently the dealer said as soon as they discussed it with Porsche Germany they said replace the gearbox, which suggested to him there was a known issue with the PDK units on the 981, not that this was in any way an official communication!

Prestonese Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Ah! I didn't realise you meant on the Pdk! I have a manual which does get sticky in cold starts. Glad you got the issue sorted though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
