Hi Guys,
In a bit of a limbo here, rang Audi and spoke to them in relation to my Audi A3, I said if I need to service my DSG Gearbox and they have told me it’s a closed seal unit and not to touch if, asked when to do my cambelt and they have stated it is recommended at 140 thousand miles (seems very excessive), I also do not have to do the water pump at any point because of how it functions?
I have spoken to a 4 other specialist garages that aren’t Audi and 2 of them said don’t touch the gearbox and the other two have said they need the fluid changed at around 100k?
My Audi ; number plate (R77 AYV) is currently at 63000 miles and I’m looking into these options as it’s better to just get it done before it becomes a very hefty bill, I have literally bought this car 4.5 months ago and has just become a money pit, I guess this is just how it is with German cars. (29 years old and have passed my test 9 months ago) - so this is my first car.
also to note the reason I’m looking to do things a bit earlier is due to the fact I did a stage 1 remap on the car, it was stock 150 and now it is pushing 185HP
My rear shock absorber has also currently got a very slight leak; i have been recommend KYB if I don’t get Audi- has anyone got any experience on these?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated 🙂
