So, just re-done my tip oil tonight after paying a local "specialist" few weeks ago to do the filter, gasket (was weeping) and tip oil change.
To start, luke warm box I dropped about 3 1/2 litres out, but was able to get nearly 7 in following the correct audi fill process. Not to mention they filled my centre torsen with ATF thinking it was part of the box (believe they are linked on a manual, same gear oil), which they apparently flushed and filled, but I've done again anyway for peace of mind)...
Box smooth as butter now, nearly all the jerkiness in gear-change, and coming to a stop into 1st has gone.
Would appear the specialist under-filled the box too, hopefully no damage.
Seems the old adage of "want something doing right, do it yourself" is most certainly true...
