Audi quattro Transmission Service

 

Background


 

Think about it - similar to your engine, the transmission has a bunch of gear spinning at incredible speeds in a bath of oil. It also needs frequent maintenance to prolong its life and maintain its performance.


 

The Issue

No oil in the world last forever - it simply loses its lubricant properties over time. There are also two other components in your Audi transmission that need frequent attention:


  • The transmission filter, which (like every filter known to mankind) collects impurities and needs to be replaced.
  • The magnets in the transmission pan, which collect the micro particles of metal that your transmission sheds as part of its normal operation.

 




The Service


Audi recommends transmission service for their DSG gearboxes every 40K miles, and their automatics from 50K to 80K miles. Our recommendation:


DSG service every 40K miles or 3 years

Automatic every 50K miles of 4 years


Audi dealers SOMETIMES offer this service, but ours is superior.


Why?


Because we replace fluids in ALL the gearboxes that make up the quattro system: transmission (fluid and filter), transfer case, and rear and front differentials (if applicable, some Audis do not have serviceable front diffs).


This is a beautiful Q3 getting its gearboxes serviced. You can see we use  high quality LiquiMoly and MOTUL fluids, and MEYLE filters.

Don't ovepay at the dealer for the same part and job.
