PDK Transmission Temp too high

[Deanos CaymanS]

Hi all. Swapped the manual Cayman S for a PDK Boxster S in Oct 12.
Since coming back to work on Monday after a couple of weeks of very little usage, the error message in the title has come up a few times, the gearbox has gone into a limp mode for about 20 secs and then cleared itself. Last night the same message came up in red rather than white and it gave me a 'box of neutrals. Stopped the car, restarted with no issues and drove the last mile home (fortunate to be close).
Car has been recovered this morning to Leics dealer - full marks so far to Porsche Assistance. Will keep you posted.

Any other similar issues on here - searched and found a few from early PDK days which seemed to be cured by a software update but none recently and none with the complte lack of gears.

PDK has been known to over heat on track.

Porsche did fit a 3rd (centre) rad for PDK cars, but due to Porsche never fitting any mesh, leaves can easy block the rads.

could be that simple, I have just cleared 2 handfuls of leaves from my side rads along with dead animal bits a few rocks and twigs.

Theres 2 temperature sensors in the PDK gearbox

Its becoming a common fault for the sensors to need replacing

Not a ridiculously expensive job but cant recall the price, Its happened to a couple of my customers, but outside of my warranty period

Update.
As expected suspected temperature sensor failure. Just got the car back so hope it's sorted.
Credit where credit's due on Porsche Assistance - car collected on flat bed within an hour, taken to dealer, E Class Merc turns up same day for duration of fix. No hassle other than a couple of phone calls.

Fingers crossed for many more miles of happy motoring.

Any chance you can find out how much it would cost if not covered by warranty?
