Located at the bottom of the gearbox, the sump contains transmission oil and helps maintain a sealed lubrication system for reliable gearbox operation.

What Does It Do?

The oil sump forms the lower reservoir of the PDK transmission, holding the gearbox oil used for lubrication, cooling and hydraulic operation.

It also provides a sealed enclosure that helps protect the transmission against oil loss and contamination.

Why Is It Important?

The PDK gearbox relies on the correct quantity of transmission oil to operate efficiently.

A damaged or leaking sump can cause:

• Transmission oil leaks
• Low gearbox oil levels
• Increased transmission temperatures
• Irregular or harsh gear changes
• Premature wear of internal gearbox components

Why Does It Fail?

Common causes include:

• Impact damage from road debris
• Corrosion or deterioration
• Damaged sealing surfaces
• Incorrect installation or overtightened fixings
• Damage during gearbox servicing

When Should It Be Replaced?

Replace the sump if it is cracked, distorted, badly corroded or leaking from a damaged sealing surface.

Inspect the sump during PDK transmission servicing, particularly if gearbox oil leaks are present.

Checks & Installation

Inspect the sump mounting surface, fixings and sealing components before installation.

Use the correct Porsche-approved transmission oil and follow the specified filling, temperature and oil-level checking procedures.

Installation by a Porsche transmission specialist is recommended.
