DSG service 40K miles or how much time?
I saw the schedule for S-Tronic on the audiusa link posted before. It says ATF change at 40K but it does not mention a time interval. Any ideas of when it should happen if the 40k takes a long time to hit (8+ years). I am trying to figure out if it would be included in AudiCare in a car with few miles.

The frequency of the Audicare services is supposed to be 1 year or 10,000 miles, so the DSG service should occur after a maximum of four years.

Anybody know how much it cost to change the fluid on an Audi DCT? I know on a Porsche, they charge an arm and a leg for the transmission service.

The PDF seems vague

The items that have miles OR time are indicated as such ( like the spark plugs ). The DSG only indicates miles. So, I would be careful if we are all making the assumption that Audicare will include the DSG service at 40K miles or 4 years.

I would say that is true, a DSG fluid change will probably be in order of 30 to 50% of the Audi care's total cost.

If you think about it though, this is unfair to the low-mileage Audi driver. A high mileage driver will hit the 40K before AudiCare is used up. A low-mileage driver won't. So, definitely not something that Audi should/would be doing intentionally. Maybe if it's brought to their attention they will adjust the schedule in the pdf. I am definitely inquiring before purchasing AudiCare.

I have intentions of keeping my allroad very low mileage when I have it. Roughly 3k miles a year. I will be purchasing Audi care, but I'm annoyed that I won't be able to get the flush at the interval specified for it. |
According to this website, tranny fluid change, air filter, coolant flush and brakes are not included in Audi care but battery, spark plugs, brake flush and HVAC filters are covered.
