Hey guys

Ive had my porsche about 3 months and if you drive it semi hard to hard around some country lanes it tends to smell of clutch when you park up.

That leaving it in auto yo do what it wjats to do. Is yhis just a trait of the PDK gear box or should i be concerned?

Thanks

If its really noticeable I would take it to porsche. If it smells burning it probably is.

You can't smell a PDK clutch.

It's a 911 and the back end will stink of burning rubber and other things when hot. Look at the position of the silencers.

Nearest thing to clutch smell would be the brakes.

Ah fair enough.
I don't think I ever get the brakes up to high enough temperature to be honest but did my first track time today and seemed fine so that's that.
