No and No on your first two questions.
It might be too early for discussing weak points but having driven one I am very impressed and Box or Cayman in 981 PDK will be my next choice :thumb:
Some questions over PDK resilience to the point they allegedly cant be repaired so would require a new 'box at stupid money. Also question a coolant pipe that has been known to fail and just happens to be routed requiring the engine to come out.
But then again OPC warranty c£550pa (if I'm correct) makes it a no brainer not to buy one without

Far far too early to tell of long term faults .. personnely i doubt it though.
PDK boxes since 2009 have not been repairable , not many have failed though .. well .. not that many that im aware of anyways
There are a couple of places that do repairs - it's a ZF box at the end of the day.

Aghh i didnt know that .. Cheers
.... at OPC you just fit a new box .. not had one at indy so far so not looked into it.Only failures i know have been oil mix .. not really repairable would be my guess at that stage.
