    S4 S-Tronic Gearbox Oil change intervals

    Oh wow, so a LOT more expensive than a GTI's £50 part and 15mins fitting. Jesus!

    S4 S-Tronic Gearbox Oil change intervals

    Go have some fun with the launch control! I don't do it with any traffic about, as I don't want to appear like a bellend, but it certainly feels abrupt as it pulls the clutch in aggressively and then into 2nd. Despite my cautious nature and mechanical sympathy, I did buy an S4 at the end of the...

    S4 S-Tronic Gearbox Oil change intervals

    I saw your post and thought you had bought it from the dealer, so I think you would have a leg to stand on there, which is why I didn't mention it. As mine was a private purchase and it's out of warranty, I think I'd be on the back foot with any warranty claims. I've changed a PCV and N80 purge...

    S4 S-Tronic Gearbox Oil change intervals

    I did enquire about and bought a warranty through insurewithaudi.co.uk at £650 for the first year, but cancelled after confirming with a claims assessor who said the missed service would impact a claim on the gearbox (sales people said it would be fine but I didn't think so, so glad I...

    S4 S-Tronic Gearbox Oil change intervals

    https://www.reconditionedgearboxeslowestoft.co.uk/audi-0b5-7-speed-dsg/ Although, this line has got me thinking: "Clutches and mechatronics can fail from 40 K miles and upwards , oil service schedule need to be observed although in reality it just maintains the dealer warranty and wont really...

    S4 S-Tronic Gearbox Oil change intervals

    @Dippy Thanks for the very detailed response. I think you're correct to be cautious with this gearbox. Even though they made it a bit more resilient with the update around 2012/13, I'm still prepared to do as much as I can to help it last. Very strange that the gearbox would have a different...

    Cool, I'm thinking the same. Would rather air on the side of caution.

    S4 S-Tronic Gearbox Oil change intervals

    Hi there, I bought my Audi S4 2013 at 72k miles and according the previous history, the gearbox oil was changed at 60k, so 22k later than the 38k that Audi suggest. As my car is now approaching 76k, i.e. the second interval, would you suggest having the gearbox oil done again to fall in line...

    I guess verified was the wrong word, I meant recommended based on subjective opinions!

    Led interior light kit wanted

    I installed an eBay kit in my Golf GTI and it was very bright but I got used to it after a week. That it very true on Audi's OEM pricing for an LED. Taking their logo-projecting puddle lights as example, though, it's widely reported that eBay's lights are not as good and Audi's are more...

    Led interior light kit wanted

    Is it really worth £70 for an Avant "with lighting" pack from them? I appreciate they've found the "perfect" colour temperature but it's 3 times the price as a kit from eBay for what is seemingly just a bunch of LED lights. If its worth could be verified then I'd be sold!

    Fair enough, perhaps I just haven't tested it enough. Will keep an eye out for the differences.

    s tronic auto downshifts

    I've got a 2013 S4 as well and how you describe yours is exactly what I get as well, so normal. I too enjoy a drive in D and then when I'm up for going faster drop it into S. I don't leave it in S all the time. I enabled ADS "Lite" via VCDS so I have all of the...
