I have just had my D2 box done at Mackies in Glasgow (a ZF agent and gearbox specialist). Basicallly they laugh at the notion of sealed for life. The 5HP24 box is recommended as 2 yearly/40000mile. and I dont think that they would change that too much for the later boxes. Their man states that the 5HP24 box is a perfectly good box AS LONG AS IT IS SERVICED. Dont listen to the Audi dealers - they know nothing about gearboxes.
