Thanks, I had a read through yesterday. Just need the bits to arrive and I'll get the mechatronic unit off and have a look.
It seems the service procedure is pretty much the same across the brands and models of HP6 (except for the 19/21) and there are some good videos on how to do a service with sleeves. It seems the only thing that really differs is the oil pan/filter.

Re: Lifeguard 8 Trans Fluid
Just some more general info on the ZF boxes -
General ZF info with some specific 6HP28A61 info regarding torquing bolts, fault finding etc - https://www.europeantransmissions.com/B ... cement.pdf
ZF's own small "aftermarket" parts list (mainly replacement parts) - https://aftermarket.zf.com/remotemedia/ ... rts-en.pdf
Bigger Parts catalogue but I'm not sure the actual part numbers are ZF ones TBH - https://www.automaticchoice.es/Catalogo ... 6hp26a.pdf - It has more than just 26A in it.
Confirmation from ZF regarding the ZF's internal part number for the 6HP28A61 - https://aftermarket.zf.com/us/united-st ... lytree.pdf

Re: Lifeguard 8 Trans Fluid
Nice one, thanks. The parts just arrived, so that first doc will definitely be handy
Re: Lifeguard 8 Trans Fluid
Hmmm another issue. Despite specifically saying it will fit the RS6, the filter is different. The filter that was on the car has a lower pickup. I'm going to guess that this is fairly important and it would be better for me to just clean out the old unit and return this one?

Re: Lifeguard 8 Trans Fluid
Also, the ZF part number on the original is:
ZF 0501223001
Searching this seems to get more accurate results than even the Audi part number I was given.

Doesn't seem like there's much available in the UK though

Reading through the ZF parts catalogue, even they are giving misinformation!IanH755 wrote: ↑Sat May 30, 2020 4:47 pmJust some more general info on the ZF boxes -

"0501 216 272
Connector sleeve, fits all ZF 6 speed transmissions."
Not true! Ours doesn't have this sleeve.
"0501 219 952
Adapter for all 6HP26/28/32 applications.
Mechatronic seal adapter, fits between mechatronic and
transmission housing."
Again, not true! I got this part with my sleeve kit and it's about half the height of the unit in our trans. I'm glad I bought one from Audi.
This document mentions the A61, so it's not like it didn't exist when it was created. My trans also has a main parts list of 1068, the same as mentioned in their doc.
Re: Lifeguard 8 Trans Fluid
Done, did the fill last night but it was too warm to check level, so just d that now. Haven't opened her up yet but she's driving fine so far. Ended up cleaning the old filter and gasket and using those.
