I was afraid that was the answer!

I did only do it with water when I conducted the experiment. Would be easy to get the fluid moving by using a vacuum bleeder and then let gravity take over once it gets moving. Or just use a vacuum bleeder for all of the additional fluid removal using the bent hose.

I guess I’ve had worse …. Hoping to do the first fluid flush on Friday, finally

How did you and @jjrichar get the siphoning to start with the bent tube into the pan hole? 🤯

I used a cheap syringe, which next time I will also use to top up the PDK fluid when the engine is running because you don’t need much and it will be easier to handle.

I like that idea. Should help getting the juice flowing out of the pan.

Sanity check please. This Porsche Pentosin Transmission Oil is the correct PDK “clutch fluid” ? P/N shows 000.043.305.13. Someone posted above .12. Thanks.

Thanks for the research and prompt response. I was under the car and second guessing myself.

Got bother fluids swapped. Won’t be able to drive it for at leas a few day .

On the hunt for placemats at the Dollar Store I found these cheap “cutting boards” that did the trick.

Fluid looked pretty good to the naked eye.

Pentosin FFL-3?

 

[981cayman*s]

This is what I’ve just used for my 2013 Boxster S PDK

I thought our 981 PDK fluid took FFL-3 fluid although I don’t know the difference in the FFL-4 that you used????

Correct Jim, I posted the incorrect photo. Thanks for catching it. I’ve removed it.

Hope this helps. This was recommended by a friend and it works great. The job is still a bit messy but it makes things easier. Bavarian Pump

Hi guys, a couple of things: Jeff your bent tube drain idea works!

Where is this bent tube idea described? Sounds intriguing

This is the tube in action, siphoning approx. an additional 0.5ltr of clutch fluid from the pan.
In total you can remove around 3 ltrs with drain and Syphon. The set up I use to start the syphon process is per the photo. Jeff’s idea does work.

Princess Auto (Canada). Thy are really good for ensuring you measure exactly what drains out and refills. I have one for old and one for new oil. Easy to pour as well.

Ah I miss princess auto. I was just at harbor freight the other day and didn't see anything like it.
