PDK oil change

[badbadtz]

My 2008, 997.2 has just been 12 year serviced with the schedule requiring both PDK clutch and gear oils to be replaced. The Vehicle Health Check came up with "damp with oil around the sump pan". I was unaware of the leak because the undertray had caught the few drips.
This required replacement of the plastic sump which has the gasket built in.
The new sump pan was OE Porsche which comprised the pan with a built-in filter and seal, 13 new fixing screws and new drain plugl. The complete kit also included 6 litres of PDK clutch fluid and 4 litres of 75W90 gear oil.
The total cost was £222.23 for the sump pan, £59.40 for the gear oil and £92.16 for the PDK clutch fluid, all plus VAT. Labour was 1.7 hours on top.

That's pretty reasonable I guess for the sump pan ...cheaper than D911 at least. I'm pricing it up now and the clutch oil will cost £88 and 5ltrs of Millers 75W90 NT+ is £62 which should leave me enough to do either the diff or AWD controller.

1.7hrs labour sounds very reasonable too. Can I ask where you went?

@badbadtz - work done by JZM Porsche, Kings Langley. Note, the prices I've quoted here need to have 20% VAT added.

I forgot to add earlier that they are starting to see a few of these cars with leaky PDK gearbox sumps. When asked why they thought this was, they're not 100% certain but think it may be due to differential thermal expansion between the gearbox case (aluminium) and the sump (plastic). i.e. wear and tear on the oil seal.
