Yellow Warning Message

Hi there, I received my 2012 C2S PDK Coupe a couple of months ago. I am new to Porsche and definitely intimidated by the hi-tech super cars (this is my first). After 200 hundred miles the car showed a yellow warning message "Drive Emergency Programme". I took the car to the dealer and they erased the warning message with the PIWIS. After 200 more miles the same warning appeared again. This time the dealer reconfigurated the PDK and told me everything was solved. A week later, the message reappeared. Now the dealer is saying that there seems to be a certain valve in the PDK that will temporarily get stuck and therefore the message. They say that a gearbox oil change will probably solve the problem. Have any of you had a similar problem? Thanks for your help.

This is not suppose to happen. I'm sure Porsche will fix this for you, but make sure you keep all the service orders in case you need to take lemon law action if they have that where you live. Check your warranty booklet to find out.
