A8 D2 PF gearbox oil change?

[gti69]

Hi guys,

I was thinking about gearbox oil change on My PF Audi A8 D2 4.2 Quattro as I think the gearbox is not as smooth as it used to be. Phoned the dealer (Glasgow Audi) and was advised that the total cost is £180 inc VAT for labour and parts. Booked the appointment yesterday. Just got a call back from Audi saying that they've checked with the garage and on this model (4-speed no tiptronic) the unit is sealed and should never require oil change and this is not something they do? Eh? Is that right or they just do not want to touch it?

Phoned a4audi in Clydebank as well and they told me to contact Mackie Transmission. Phoned them and they said it should be £155 on 4 speed auto.

Now, what shall I do?

Advise appreciated!

Cheers,
Tom
