Gearbox service

[John Mason]

Good morning I am new to this forum so would first like to say hello to all you members!

I am posting about the 2014 Sq5 gearbox, Audi claim it is a sealed unit and doesn't need servicing, but I am getting mixed opinions as to whether or not this does/doesn't need an oil and filter change ?

The car has done 98000 miles and I would much appreciate any feedback or experience with this 'grey' area!

Many thanks, John

Whether it needs to be serviced is debatable. Given that it is now out of guarantee you have nothing to lose by changing oil and filter. As I am fond of saying, nobody suffered a gearbox failure by changing the oil too often.
