Facelift 2017 S3 Service

[J700LJA]

Hi guys,
Just wondering if someone could help me, my understanding is oil wise, engine oil obviously, haldex oil, rear diff oil. Is there any other that I need to change?

Seen transfer box oil but also read it’s the same oil used in the haldex is this correct.

Engine - annually unless you're tight and/or don't care about your S3 engine. I use Castrol 5W-30 LL but there are plenty of options and down to individuals own choice. See my diary here.
Haldex - I would strongly advise every 10K miles and I use Febi 101172 (850ml tub) VAG part no.G060175A2. See my diary here as to why. You will also need to run a Basic Setting for the Haldex pump after the oil change!
Diffs - Also know as transfer box/final drive for the front and rear. VAG say are sealed for life but no harm changing the oil like I have and used Febi 32590 being 75W-90 (GL5) VAG part no.G052145S2. See my diary here.
DSG - Change oil every 38K miles and VAG say the filter is for life in the DQ381 (7-speed) but it's an easy change and worth doing. The oil is very specific so make sure you buy the correct stuff VAG part no.G055529A2 and you'll require 6L with the filter Febi 107342 VAG part no.0GC325183A. You will require diag tools as you need to get the DSG oil up to 35C-45C to set the collect levels and it's a bottom fill for the new oil which seems strange until you've done it. See my diary here.
Manual gearbox - Not really sure but someone will be along to advise or Google Golf 7.5 as there's loads more detail out there on them and they use the same gearbox as S3 FL.
Brake fluid - 3yrs from date of registration and then every 2yrs there after. Detailing just for completeness as it is an oil of types anyway.

Don’t forget coolant change and check for any damage to the tea bag in the coolant tank.
think it’s every 5 years.

Thanks buddy, I was quoted £790 for a
DSG oil change & filter.
Full service of engine, oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, sump plug, pollen filter & consumables whatever that bit is

Haldex oil change with filter clean & Brake fluid Change

Looking around that seems about right. Correct me if I’m wrong.

I was recently quoted £750 for that service by an Audi specialist in Derbyshire so not far off.
