Default CVT Service

Hello all,

I have a 2002 2.5tdi with the CVT transmission, it's a little bit juddery when cold and taking off, but nothing too terrible. I've heard they can be very fragile transmissions after reading forum posts etc. It's about to embark on a 5,000 trip around Europe.

So my question is, change the fluid and filter, or not? There seems to be two schools of thought here, leave it be and don't prod the bear, or change the filter and hope it doesn't cause problems?

Any opinions you've all got would be appreciated!
Thanks, Mike
