I'm confused about which foot well. Did you mean to say the passenger wheel well (right front)? Please clarify.

I have owned a 2010 987.2 S with PDK and S-Chrono+. Right from day one, I noticed that the car wanted to idle at around 700 rpm or even less, almost stalling! I went through the same issues regarding jerkiness/lugging at idling, had three different dealers check it out, and they all declared the symptoms as normal characteristics of the PDK. They must have been right, because I have slowly gotten used to these, and now enjoy the car in normal, sport, or sport+ mode with total abandon and without concern. It has never failed me in its 17,000 miles so far.. . I was lucky enough to be have a Porsche factory racing instructor drive my car on the track with me as passenger, and he showed me that for most track events, leaving the PDK in Sport mode was more effective than Sport+, as it was not "constrained" by the overide of having to shift to near-redline every time in Sport+ and was thus able to respond to changing track conditions extremely effectively in just the Sport mode. Bottom line based on personal experience: I drive most of the time in Sport mode in all situations, and reserve Sport+ for Launch Control only. In city stop-go traffic, there is perceived binding/lugging/low revs combination, regardless of whether in normal or sport mode. But I have to agree that the PDK, being such a sophisticated unit working with two gears all the time, does the best it can to deliver all that power right from idling to max rpm. I recently drove a new 991 with PDK and felt that it has been smoothed out noticeably in this regard. I was also informed by the tech that these improvements cannot be transferred to my car as they are a result of new software and redesigned control valve assembly and other hardware plumbing.

This happened to my car after a battery replacement. Both seat heaters refused to come on. I went to the Porsche dealer and they re-configured the option code for heated seats in the system computer. Everything Worked fine right away after that. Dealer did not charge anything (car was under wattanty). Hope this helps.
