Your DSG / S-tronic Quattro gearbox is a very sophisticated piece of engineering that needs to be looked after with regular oil changes. The smooth 2-clutch system is computer controlled with very fine engineering tolerances. If the gearbox oil is dirty, it will damage other parts and affect performance.

Dirty oil can overheat the gearbox or cause the clutches to burn out. This will lead to poor gear selection, loss of drive and transmission failure.

The DL382 transmission is used exclusively in Audi vehicles with longitudinal (or inline) transmissions, meaning the engine/transmission power-train travel along the length of the vehicle rather than side to side. It is a seven speed transmission that makes use of a wet clutch assembly.

We would require the vehicle for 5 hours to performed this service to allow the vehicle to cool down as the gearbox must be stone cold when we perform the oil change.

Your S-Tronic gearbox clutch oil on this transmission should be replaced 35,000 miles for first change; 40,000 miles for all subsequent changes. 

What happens when we perform an oil change

During an oil check, we check the gearbox and look for any leaks. We drain the gearbox completely before filling it with high-quality gearbox oil that meets manufacturer standards.

IMPORTANT: The gearbox has to be completely cold when performing this procedure. We would require the vehicle to be dropped off at least 5 hours before we begin the procedure to allow the gearbox to cool. You're more than welcome to drop the vehicle off with us the day before if you wish.
