Default 40,000 mile service

Just had it performed and:

They put 8.5 quarts of oil in it. I figure it's about a quart to high. Do you think this will do any damage.

I did not see on the sheet they gave me that the haladex cluch fluid and filter were chaged (what ever that is). Do you guys think that is any big deal. And the car is more than 2 years old and the break fluid has not been changed. once again, do you think that is any big deal?

Default Too much oil is a problem. Your allroad doesn't have Haldex and brake fluid should be done at 2yrs.

You have a trip back to the dealer in your future. Simply ask them to do it right.

Default 1 quart over is a big problem; the 2.7t is sensitive to oil overflow...

...as it will blow the cam seals and perhaps others, I understand. Audi is very strict about not overfilling the oil on the 2.7t.

The brake fluid should be changed bi-annually; have them get on it! Don't know about the clutch - what does your owners manual say?

Default Re: thanks for the info. I did not know exactly what the haldex clutch was but it was listed in the

the manual to be replaced at 40,000 miles. Funny thing, the last time they changed my oil at 30,000 I drove it for 2 weeks with it being a quart to much in it before I decided to check it. I took it back and they drained it. Now when I told them it is leaking oil they want to replace the valve cover seals.

Default Haldex clutches are used in Quattro/4-motion systems with transverse mounted engines...

So either you don't have a haldex clutch, or you're driving the wrong car. =)
