Default Transmission fluid change

I bought an 01' S4 with 109K on it a few months ago. I don't have the service records and want to have the transmission fluid changed to be safe. Should I go with a full flush or a partial? I've heard arguements for both, but not from anyone who owns an Audi.

Thanks in advance for the help.

dude any basic maintainebce for the car is great. With these cars, spare nothing if you go cheap with it, it'll treat you cheap as well. Rule of thumb " Never treat a hooker like a lady cause at the end of the night they end up leavin you high and dry anyway"

Thanks for the reply, I'mdefinately allabout maintenance.However, I still don't really have the question answered. I'd like to know whether its more advisable to go with a partial flush versus a full flush on an engine with 109K. The price doesn't matter to me. I've just heard that its better to go with a partial flush with a car with that many miles but i'm not really sure why. What does everyone else think?

You know it does help to know what trans you have. I take it you have a TIP?

A change will only get about 40% of the fluid, & flush get 100%, what do you think is better?

You can flush it your self with out the machine. You just fill, run, change, fill run change, do that till it's coming out clean.
