2.0 TDI Gearbox oil change?

[flipmyflipper]

My service book is showing its never been done on my 2009 Avant. When is it normally expected to be changed please?

Pretty sure Audi consider them sealed for life. How many miles has yours done?

 

[desertstorm]

If it's manual it's filled for life. Although I think 100K miles is enough and the gearbox would probably benefit from some new fluid.
After 100K miles black and smelly


New stuff


Improved the gear changes and I am sure will help gearbox life.

What oil do you need and quantity?

@desertstorm - Karl, the 'new stuff' - cold pressed olive oil ?? - sure looks like it !!!!
Seriously tho' .changed the g/box oil on my previous 2.0 tfsi Quattro B7 , improved the shift quality noticeably

What VW gearbox oil spec code is it ?

 

[desertstorm]

The new stuff is the genuine Audi gearbox oil. I wish it was the same price as cold pressed olive oil.

Cheers lads. I'd heard it was 'sealed for life' but as mine is just over 100K I think it'll benefit. Many thanks

I take it the car was a manual then?
