As Richard says above, a ZF specialist would be best for the gearbox, the service can stay with an Audi specialist.

I've no doubt that Audi's 'official' schedules do not include a gearbox service, but their intepretation of "lifetime" is about 5 years/100,000 miles (i.e. if it fails after that then what do you expect, one that will last a lifetime???), so probably quite different from the rest of us.

Mercedes used to say sealed for life too, they changed about 2 years ago and are now including gearbox oil changes on their servicing, and have even retro-added it to the service-inclusive deals they sold at no extra charge.

If you've seen the oil come out of a 100k plus miler gearbox that's never been changed, you'll understand why it should be done, about every 40k I'd reckon

I with you on this one....

So need to find a ZF specialist in the Midlands / East or West
