Hi guys
Putting the car into garage to carry out oil change tomorrow evening.Having bought the complete kit from audi glasgow for £185,is there anything I should be looking out for, or advising the garage to do. I have read a couple of threads, on here but the dialogue and pictures are for an audi a8 4.2
Any advice to carry out this procedure would be greatly appreciated and save my box any damage

Make sure the pick up pipe on the filter is the right length, think the rs6 has a shorter one. As Glasgow Audi are a bunch of twats don't assume you have the right one.
For an extra £100 over what you have paid Mackies Transmission (ZF dealer) do mine.

gearbox running sweet....£100 from local garage "auto technique" Helensburgh, who followed the correct fill up procedure
seems more responsive.going back shortly for final level check.
Glasgow Audi filter checked out fine also..correct tube length.
