I'm slightly paranoid, as the last time the gearbox oil and filter were changed, at 39k, the Metronics unit malfunctioned the very next week!

Probably because some minute particles were dislodged and found their way into the mechatronics. This is why some honest experts without a conflict of interest discourage the inappropriate advice to change the fluid in ZF's 'sealed for life' boxes. A high price is paid for the hassle and maintenance costs for these relatively delicate DSG boxes for the sake of a fractionally quicker gear change. (The bean counters subsume warranty work into the purchase price).

Two interesting replies, thank you.

Yes the Audi Dealer price is very close, so I'll probably end up there.

No fun last time when it slamed into 1st from 5th on a corner at around 50mph!

Fortunately in the wet, so a slide instead of nutting my passenger.

£264 with the filter change.

Just tried to book with Audi.

It's gone up to £365 now!

Wow!

Looks like an independent will be getting it now- That's some price increase inside 12 months!
