I havent had my Audi Multitronic long and not 100% when the gearbox oil was last changed so i decided to ring Audi and a few garages and since speaking with them I am not confused as to what i need to actually do. Here is the responses i have had so far
Audi Dealer Doncaster, Yes we can change the oil it should be done every 40000, £155.
VAG Independant 1, we can change oil, be £120
VAG Independant 2 - My computer says doesnt need doing at all, its a sealed unit.
VAG Independant 3 - Shouldnt just change oil, needs sump removing and a filter changing otherwise all the crap the filter has collected will still remain and eventually damage gearbox. When questioning why Audi themselves didnt say this, was told Audi dont know how to do it and he does and if i want it reliable and doing right then this work needs doing rather than just the oil change. £300
Stattler Sheffield, Independant Porsche VAG Super Specialists - said pretty much same as Independant 3, and likened it to changing the engine oil without changing the oil filter if not done. Waiting on a ringback for price.
Independant VAG 5 - sounded confused took reg and said he would have tocheck as never done one and would get back to me with a price.
Based on the above, i dont know what i need to do now. I just want it to run ok and not cost me greatly by needing a new gearbox.
Can anyone shed some light on this
Cheers
