My previous post on Friday explained how I was charged $600 by my Audi dealer for the tranny fluid/filter. Needless to say, the phone tag game between the owner/service manager and I is in full force. So far, I've gotten the service advisor to admit that only seven liters were put in, not the nine I was charged for ($26/liter!!!). I'm hoping to get some resolution soon...I'll keep you posted!

Re: it's not aoa, its zf that makes the rules, and them that pay the warranties...

From their perspective, all that tranny has to do is make it out of the warranty period.

Go after them- if you don't get satisfaction take it to the DA.

Do you feel that at all?

Our A6 is a 2.8 and the A8 is a 4.2 so they have different trannys. My point is that it seems logical to change the ATF in both at the same intervals...they both have similiar moving parts that need protection and filters that clog up with whiffle dust etc.

Is it possible the qty is 7 qts w/o draining the torque converter and 9 qts with draining it?? Or is it 7 qts with draining torque converter??

AFAICT, there's no way to do it short of tranny removal.

For my tals and pics of my A6 tranny service, go to the link. I'm finally going to try to do the A8 this weekend.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a6/msgs/238621.phtml">A6 AT Service &amp; ATF Analysis Threads</a></li></ul>
