Speak to you service department and get it booked in.

I agree with Dan since you have a warranty Mick. Leave the dealer to sort it out.

It sounds as though it’s a PDK solenoid issue, so nothing you can do about it other than to make sure that your battery is in tip-top condition since low voltages can cause all sorts of problems. With luck just a reset will clear the error, but if it’s an internal component failure then the worst case scenario is a replacement transmission since Porsche doesn’t deem it a repairable item.

I predict they will say “please book it in for diagnosis. That will be £220 pounds please. We will clear the code and say no fault found”

In general the practice for stored codes is “clear and see if they come back” especially if there is no other symptom.

There is some mileage in “I told you about a problem previously” but nobody is going to go for a 10k gearbox swap on the basis of a stored code.
