who to contact at Audi UK re. issues
my 4.2Tdi has the gear box issue i.e. a harsh 4 to3 downshift.
looking at this forum there was a TSB issued for this. called Audi Leicester yesterday, they had nothing on their system. except the last service at 100K the rest were done at Audi dealerships. i want to contact Audi to see if they can offer any goodwill? if they dont will a good Audi specialist be able to do the same: blue gearbox oil and gear adaptation? cheers raj |

I think the TSB is - Technical Service Bulletin 2013023/1
Where abouts in the country are you?

The trouble with Technical Service Bulletin 2013023/1 is that it is issued by Audi of America and is nothing to do with Audi AG or Audi UK.
Green fluid G060152 replaced the blue some years ago - just ask them to change fluid and update firmware - and see if it improves. You need to do a special adaptation drive afterwards which I find it is best to do yourself.. |

just spoke to Audi,
SEALED FOR LIFE SEALED FOR LIFE SEALED FOR LIFE. was their reply. they were adamant that these boxes should not need/have oil changed. and they were not going to change UK/Europe procedures for little old me.. USA cars are different spec.. good indi specialist has quoted me £190 for oil and £50 for adaptation. i think i will just book it in. thanks raj |

Are they, are they really. I know the emissions are different, or are they the same, or does it just depend if it's on test? i can't remember now
Would be interesting to see the differences in flulid "specs" between the UK and US cars. Guy was offering gearbox servicing http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthrea...hlight=gearbox

I can recommend Guy too. On a different note £190 sounds suspiciously cheap....
