ZF 6HP19A tiptronic gearbox (A6 3.0 TDI Quattro)

All's well, hope your keeping good as well? , got when searching p/n of oils / spec's (LOL).

Shocking price at main dealers, on ECS Tuning genuine oil 1L is $81.41, so about £55.

opieoils don't list anything related to G 055 145 A2 but maybe worth a call?

I had rear output seal done on my car soon after buying it, main dealer invoice was vague on breakdown but was £300.56 and would have assumed drain/refill of rear torsen diff.

quick update & apologies for cluttering up this thread.... I've now sourced the elusive Sturaco additive.

Damn, damn expensive, but i can now add it to bog standard G052 145 and this makes it a G055 145 spec fluid.

Will be interesting to see how it fares on a 50k transfer box, as reading very closely into this, it's an area that almost EVERY quattro owner has never looked at. Even VW admitted they've never sold the stuff ( certainly not in the south east ).

I can only guess they don't bother & people who own quattro's put up with rumbly transmissions as they age, especially if they do sharp turns. This should be the cure.

Usually, a fluid change is all that's needed & it certanly works when you change ATF, and gear oils have a damn harder time, especially a torsen diff !

Guys, I'm new to this forum having recently bought a late 2008 A6 Avant Le Mans, 3.0 TDi Quattro. It has been regularly serviced but I can't find any history of a gearbox oil change. It's done 114k miles so I'm thinking it's probably way more than overdue and I'm looking for advice on where to go to get it done. I'm not mechanically minded so would definitely not be taking this on myself. Can anyone recommend somewhere to get this done in the Berkshire area, preferably Maidenhead?

Any advice would be greatfully received - I've read through this thread but to be honest most of it goes straight over my head!

Call Tony at Autoteknic in Wokingham, good guy.

Will you visit Glasgow then? It's only 240 motorway miles.

To all who have contributed to this thread, I have bit the bullet and booked for ATF change in Glasgow on 26th October. going to drive up the day before so it is reasonably cool when I drop it off. will advise on how it drives on the return journey.
Quoted £275.00 + vat and will need the car for 4 to 5 hours.

The price seems to be right, hope you will enjoy smooth shifting after the ATF change!

And remember to get them to do the bolt tightening sequence.

Hi, can anyone recommend a garage in Birmingham for the tiptronic oil change?
