After 2 hours of city and highway driving i had no problems. Also did some puls from stand still and rolling in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th unti...

Some people say that after gearbox oil change they have issues

The ones that did a full oil flush or was not done properly maybe. Have 2 firends with RS6 and a couple with BMW's that have ZF gearboxes and they all changed the oil at a ZF certified partner with no problem afterwards.

Can someone give me the exact gearbox name? Is it the ZF 8HP90? Anyone have a video link how to change the oil?

@gsc i have them both in the same city. I live in Bucharest, hope they do as good of a job like the ones from other countries. I presume its just something like plug and rewrite the code. Now i have the non res cat back from Milltek, should i change the air intake also? Or stock is fine? Sent from m...

Audi advise it’s sealed for life, ZF who make it say service every 100k miles. Take your choice but I went with the people who make the box and the oil was black and the magnets in the sump covered in gunk. Well worth doing, especially if your thinking of tuning the car Sent from my iPad using Tapa...

Hello guys. RS6 2014 pre-facelift Can anyone tell me their experience after making the gearbox oil change? I now have 60k miles (95000km).

I now use 5w30 and change it at around 15k km(8k miles). Thinking to go with 0w30 at 10k km (6k miles).

Will go to the dealer and ask about the software update for the gearbox. Any ideea when the update was released? Last year when i was at audi they made a software update for the engine or turbo cooling( or something like that).

That is why i am asking. Seems a bit clanky at lower speeds. Someone stated about a software update at the dealer, can i check the version using vcds?

I have a pre FL and the Milltek road plus I found res was not worth having but non res was just a bit too much. The road plus is perfect for me also an every day driver. As for mapping up to you if there’s no warranty then go for it. If MRC is near you that’s great. They really know what they’re do...

What is the differente between road plus and non res version? Is it a smaller res?

Hello guys, Pre-FL RS6 2014 with Dynamic Package is the car. First: I'm thinking about changing my OEM sport exhaust (the one with black tips). One of my options is Milltek, is it worth it? Should i get res or non res? Also saw guys that just deleted the OEM res, what should i chose? Any one have a ...

I have same issue but only when the gearbox is in sport mode, but not always, only when im in traffic at low speeds (2nd or 3rd gear). In drive i have no problem.
