yea i guess so its prob best to just bite the bullet and pray all goes well ill probley get it done when the cambelt gets done in a couple of months, to be fair its had a new valve body a few months ago so id guess an oil and filter change would have been done then or am i way off?Shoppinit wrote:Just service it. It won't do it any harm. If it fails afterwards, it was about to fail anyway and was only being kept going by the swarf.

Yeah, the fluid will have been changed. If they weren't too dumb, they would have changed the strainer, too. But I wouldn't bet the ranch on it.

Audi refused to believe the strainer existed until I shoved the part number in their face. Made them do the whole box oil change on my A8 again, I was only 17 at the time.

Re: Price of TC compared with new gearbox
ATF and strainer were changed at the end of March this year on 67k miles. It's just about to hit 70k.
I'll only be doing about 6k miles a year in it so it sounds like March 2014 is when I should get it changed again... if it lasts that long.
