Wow that's a lot of praise.
I like a good write up of a good garage. Just s shame I'm in the ass end of the UK with nog much down here for cars (IMHO). I thought multronic was for FWD only and tiptronic is for Quattro's? Going by the book there is nothing for tiptronic services just multitronic ATF change every 40k. Looking at my service book there is no record of anything happening at 40k, with all that I'm assuming it's tiptronic. Wrongly? the car is on 156k, hard shifting and odd surging. So im thinking of gearbox service and see if that helps a long with software update that I read about. If needed. I've only ever 3 A8s down here, one of them is mine, one of going to Plymouth and the other was leaving Devon. I guess I might have to travel.

!!!!!!!! Anyway, Scott, trust me on that one, I trusted Chris on that one and it worked for me. He said it will take approx 200miles to start work, but in my case it took good 300-400miles. Buy one bottle of this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lucas-Auto...item56622911a9 Just remember what I mentioned about correct/precise temp when adding it, plus you've got to drain 700ml of oil if I remember well. IT WON'T DO ANY HARM !!!

One quoted me almost 1300 for a full/longlife service for what you listed plus alternator belt, brake fluid change and I think thats it. That was when I was looking for a new place to service/repair my car when needed as mentioned above before I found Audi VW Service Center. Paid something like 900
Sorry, my memory isn't that good Ah, also AC service, coolant change...and I think something else, but I do that approx every 2-3 years only, usually one standard longlife service in between, unless there is something new what needs doing

Thanks for info lads.
The reason I was wanting the service to try and fix this surging and hard shifting. I plugged my MAF today on the way in to work and it solved it. I'll see what happens on the way home but I will still looking in to getting the box service. You've confused me on what box is fitted now, if its a tiptronic or multitronic. AC needs doing, it was boiling the other day and air came out a little less cool. The coolant looks really nice fresh pink. I might change it end of the summer in time for winter. Thanks for the info lads.

Scott, yours is Tiptronic. Only some models with petrol engine and front wheel drive had Multitronic.

Thought so.
Thanks audifin. M-A8, I think we are safe. We don't need oil service ever!! Going by Audi but I'd rather go by what ZF says and get it done any way. I think at 155k it got to be due. Having a general catch up with a mate last night and mentioned the gearbox. He said I can use his ramps to do the oil myself if I wanted. I like the idea of doing it my shelf cause its cheaper but its not always about getting it cheaper and saving money. I want the job done properly and correctly. But this got me thinking. What is the difference between me doing it using all the proper oils, filters, seals and getting it up to the correct temperature. Compared to a ZF authorised service centre?

I'd go with the proper centre, especially if the have the sucky squirty pumpy thingy machine like Mackies.. And I don't think they charge that much more than the gearbox oil costs retail anyway.
