S-tronic Questions ahead of possible avant purchase

[alex milliken]

hello all.

just joined this forum as i am needing help from owners. we are currently looking at a 15 plate tdi ultra with the 7 speed s-tronic box. the car has covered 100k miles with full audi history. when i view the service history (via the sellers website) it states it has had its gearbox oil change at 38k but no mention of anything since.

should it have had more? if i was to go and test drive, what should i be doing to make sure all is well with the gearbox?

this car is to replace our current non-audi. im at the stage where im waiting day by day for the next thing to go wrong on this car so it has to go. the last thing i want to do is replace it with another potential problem child!!

i hope to hear from you all asap. thanks in advance.

Should be changed every 38K, so the last one should have been done around 76K, so the next one due in 14K miles, but for piece of mind I would have it done soon after you buy the car regardless.
