I rang up my local Audi specialist and asked them to have a go, but I asked for the filter to be changed and magnets to be cleared. Bloke got stroppy on the phone, there is no way we are going to drop the pan on the transmission. LOL So much for the "specialist" part of the title. So I told him not to bother with any of it.
I've found a porsche specialist and I'm asking the same sort of questions, waiting for a call back. Will keep updating ...

Is it just me and you but are Audi Main Stealers (Sorry! Sorry!! I meant Dealer!) are main dealers just always happy to send out quotes for doing work that they 1) are not even sure if the car requires it to be done and 2) can't do it properly anyway?
I took my car in with a few faults and all six of them had a resolution cost, saying next to it customer declined, yet when I asked them why they've not fixed a single one of the issues they told me it was because they couldn't communicate their computer an software to my car to sort it...  Really but you managed to generate quotes from something you couldn't solve? 
I've already lost all trust in my Local dealer after paying £315 for them to brake a part of my car and type out my list to them on their invoice with the words "Confirmed Customer Complaint" against each issue  Perhaps I should start a bad main dealer experience thread? or good experience, which ever is easiest cover 
Regards, Mark.

Future Plans:
Selling my current Audi A8 Quattro Sport and replace is with a newer D4 Audi A8L with the 4.2V8 Twin Turbo setup once again it must be black. I'm looking for one with the options added where it has the rear recliing seats, with heated outers. Bose speakers minimum and B&O's if affordable. Rear and back door sun blinds prefered.
Planned Mods:
Upon the arrival of my A8L D4, I will be once again having the ECU remapped to a performance setting over economy. Rear Tints as dark as can go whilst also tinting the front windows with a medium tint. Once again I will be purchasing lowering links for the air ride suspension and setting it at 55mm lower when in comfort as my desire rideheight over standard. Alloys will be 21" however the one current most likly to be the next car already has a brand new set of 2016 S8Plus wheels on it.
