Hi,
Haven't posted here for ages and I trust everyone's been keeping well!
My 997.1 has been having intermittent tiptronic failure / limp home issues and it's been a devil to diagnose.
Every time the engine is turned off it loses a lot of the codes, and after several months finally managed it to get it to fault whilst the OPC was open.
Anyway, they plugged it in and diagnosed issues in the control panel and further speed sensor issues etc.
To cut a long story short they want to replace the gearbox. Seems extreme to me and I know that Porsche generally treat these as sealed units and will just swap it out. It's under warranty, and whilst I'd prefer to not have the gearbox replaced, it is what it is.
Which finally brings me to my question
OPC switching the gearbox out
Should I get them to replace the seal at the same time?wouls they do it and does it have any practical value on the 997.1.....I seek to recall the earlier 996 leaked.
More concerned about the IMS - is there any work that they could do here (or be willing to do) whilst the gearbox is out?
It's a Targa 4.
Cheers all
GD.
