Stuck PSE valve

[Freakuk]

Cayman in for a service 4 year/40K and they've noticed the drivers side PSE valve is sticking/stuck, I didn't ask how much it is to replace, not sure if it is replaceable.

Anyone have any experience of this, can you buy the actuator (any idea on cost?) and replace yourself, get an indy to do it???

My 981 had a stuck near side valve when I bought the car, shortly after an OPC major service which didn't pick it up.

The valve spindle was seized but I managed to free it off with Plus Gas, WD40 and lots of patient effort gently pushing and pulling on the actuation crank after disconnecting the actuator until it eventually freed up. Probably took an hour. That was at 26k miles, now 33k and 18 months later and it's still fine.

I regularly manually check both valves are free by reaching under the rear bumper before start up. Takes a few seconds.

Can you do this without having to remove the rear bumper? Did you jack the car up for better access?? I'm tempted to give this a shot or failing that take it to a Porsche indy for them to have a look.
