My PDK/clutch is slipping any ideas why?
My gearbox slips in the mid range RPM. And when i kick-down it hesitate before it start accelerating. Anyone with such a problem on a Panamera Turbo?

The PDK is the weakest link in these cars, I think past 700HP and the slipping will follow.
You might be at the limit for what the PDK can handle, have you contacted your tuner?

I agree that the large amount of TQ is probably more of an issue than the HP. I wonder how much they can do in the software to potentially compensate for your issue. In older automatic transmissions, they could increase line pressure. However, not sure if that is an option in how the PDK works. It is probably worth asking. Let us know what your tuner says...

I doubt that the differential lock would affect the transmission. If you are having PDK issues, why not take it into the P-dealer and have them give you a clean bill of health on your transmission?

Hopefully, that is the issue. What is the ETA on getting it replaced?

Great news! So I guess you will know by the weekend if it solves your hesitation issue. Fingers-crossed.
