Just curious really, has anyone had the clutches changed on their PDK box? If so, how long did they last, and how much did it cost?

That's interesting - thanks.

So as with all things "designed for life", the box will need changing at around 100k, right? hehe

A few PDK's have been replaced under warranty but most often the failure appears to be something electronic or hydraulic not mechanical like in this context a worn out/slipping clutch.
Mine decided that every alternate time you started the car, it would refuse to engage any gear. From reading around on the 'net, it seemed to be a fairly common complaint if the last action the car does is to reverse uphill - and my driveway means it has to reverse 15' uphill, on gravel.

Since a software update/reset it seems to be fine, although I still get the odd occassion where I'll start it, put it into 'D' and it'll just go clonk a few times before it will move - that's only after having sat overnight, mind.
