That doesn't sound like it would be genuine ZF transmission oil for that price?

Hi Gareth Have had 2 quotes now from independents, both about the same on parts - oil about £500, pan, filter and gaskets about £300, + labour One quote was from a gearbox specialist, he also quoted a further £300 ish for diff and transfer oil change at the same time! That quote was coming in at about £1500 - ouch!

Hi Mark, thanks for posting I just tried navigating the ZF site from your link to try and find some more detail, almost impossible to find any more information! I will email or call them direct to finalise this conundrum!

Thanks Ferret, that's quite persuasive!

Thanks for posting, this has now added even more confusion to the topic! Audi state no service required but ZF recommend an oil and filter change! I really don't want to be spending north of £1000 to have it done properly but also want to avoid any potential issues in the future - maybe I should contact ZF directly to get a definitive answer? Thanks for everyone's input in this very grey area!

Hi Cliff, thanks for your reply, I think for piece of mind I will get the gearbox serviced, I am still confused as to why Audi state that the oil doesn't need replacing, surely oil and filters will always have an expected lifespan?

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
