Default Re: Probably need 6 or 7

Ah but don't forget this is the UK, the land of the $1.60 gallon of petrol and the £30/litre transmission oil. Can I get this oil myself, what is the spec/make

Judging from the posts on this board, it's a little more than the economy.

Esso ATF LT 71141 in acc. with ZF Order Specification ZFB 838

It's pretty specialized stuff, not likely to find it in a garden variety auto parts store, if there is such a thing across the pond. It darn sure isn't in a Pep Boys or Advance Auto Parts store over here.

Default Carousel Audi...

Golden Valley (Minneapolis) MN. Had a service coupon for a discount. Total was around $220, after coupon, it was $165.

they replaced the fluid, filter, and tranny gasket. Total price included labor. No leaks- did a great job. It seems to shift more smoothly (Psychological??), but i did it for preventive maintenance. I think it is a wise thing to do.

BTW, i have a 98 with 75K miles.
