Default Tiptronic Maintenance

My 98 A4 1.8TQ is at 30K, what is the service
interval for fluid and filter change? Thanks

Default I don't happen to remember there ever being one for replacing tranny fluid..

but like all fluid you should replace anyway... I would say every 15-20k miles it should be replaced.

check your owner manual. if it doesn't say anything about it, don't worry about it

Default Most dealers wont change it even if you ask, it's a lifetime fill

Yet I recall seeing an Audi document saying that the fluid should be changed at 50,000 miles under heavy use.
