hey guys, i have a 1997 a4 1.8t quttro/auto transmission. i recently replaced the t-belt/water pump/radiator/all belts, and i lost some tranny fluid when i was replacing radiator, but not much. anyway i wanted to get my tranny flushed, and dealer told me that if it hasnt been done in 30kmile intervals that doing it now may blow the tranny. is this true or just a myth???

 

its a myth according to the Audi maintenance manual its filled for life but we all know that's a load of crap,

yea major myth man, untill recently people never changed tranny fluid and they seemed to last a long time

 

It is "lifetime fluid". However, it wouldn't hurt to drain the pan and fill with a couple of quarts of fresh fluid. I do mine about every 60K miles. Cost is about 60 dollars inc fluid at my garage.
