ServicingWe recommend servicing your gearbox every 38,000 miles, regardless of your vehicle’s age. Gearbox oil serves as a vital lubricant within the transmission system, minimizing wear and tear and ensuring your gearbox functions smoothly.
When gearbox oil becomes old and contaminated, it can significantly impact your car’s performance. Dirty oil can cause sluggish operation and slow gear shifts due to grit and debris interfering with the system. Neglecting gearbox maintenance can also lead to damage affecting other components.
Regular DSG servicing is just as crucial as routine maintenance. Keeping up with these services not only ensures your car runs at its best but also preserves its value, making it easier to sell in the future.
The VW/Audi Group recommends an oil service every 38,000 miles, but we suggest servicing every 20,000 miles for optimal performance.
Different vehicles are equipped with various Haldex pumps. Generations 1-4 feature a filter that is replaced during the service. Generation 5 models, however, use a gauze filter that requires disassembly and thorough cleaning, which is included in our Gen 5 Haldex service. Our process involves removing the pump, cleaning the gauze filter, flushing out as much old oil as possible (a step often skipped by dealerships), and replacing the bolts and seals. We then refill the system, ensuring the new oil remains uncontaminated.
Neglecting to service your vehicle can lead to costly repairs amounting to thousands of pounds in the future.
We advise a differential oil change every 38,000 miles.
Why is it important that I have it changed when recommended? Changing this oil is just as important as changing your engine’s oil, and for the same reason. Metal-to-metal contact wears down surfaces and creates heat from friction, which inevitably weakens the gears and leads to failure.
Whether you have Front and Rear differential depends on if your vehicle is AWD OR FWD.
Our prices start at £80.
