Audi A6 C6 Automatic Tiptronic Gearbox Oil Change Question

[Crasher]

The only full kit I know of is the Meyle 100 135 0003

Thanks.
I'd like a kit with the filter, gasket o-rings and whatnot, but not the oil - but seems hard to find.

EDIT: Or maybe not :

Yes, the Meyle 100 135 0003/SK or Febi 100266

Thanks. I'll be getting the Meyle kit. Car has 100k miles now, so time to give the ZF som LTC :-)

It will thank you by cracking its reverse gear drum....

Can anyone point to (ebay?) a proper service kit with filter, gasket etc for A6 C6 with the the 6 speed auto? (I assume it is the ZF6HP19A)

By the way, what is the correct filter layout? Some shops list this as the proper filter: http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/-rAAAO...GF/s-l1600.jpg

But other places list a filter looking like this : http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/1NcAAO...D-/s-l1600.jpg

Land Rover discovery 3/4 up to 2011 ish runs the zf 6 speeder fitted as std with the plastic sump/filter combined as per your first link, common mod is to fit the steel sump with separate filter as per your second link which is only for the filter itself.
I changed mine from plastic to steel works well, apparently some people have trouble getting gasket on metal version to seal not sure why?

Lots of talk on the disco forums about getting a gearbox flush and not doing the filter at all, flush changes all the oil which even dropping the sump doesnt get out.

I did the filter and oil on wifes old A4 3.0 tdi and on her latest A6 I will, just be doing the oil and leaving existing filter in place and change oil every couple of years.
Bristol transmissions highly recommended on the land rover forums

Spoke to a well renowned gearbox specialist not far from where I live today. They meant that a regular oil change was useless, and the only way to go was a flush. He then quoted me around £700 for the flush job.....

Thoughts?

700 quid for a flush is madness, just read recent post on the D3 forum guy had a flush and all parameters reset 130 quid from a well known land rover specialist, lots of positive reviews, I dont think its a long term fix for all gearboxes but 130 quid versus a 2.5k rebuild has to be worth a try?
Dr Tranny also gets good write ups.

Ive just done my gearbox oil again by removing the pipe to the oil cooler and putting the pipe into a measured bucket, start engine and the t/c empties the box for you, got 3.77 litres out, put 4 ltrs back in using a hand pump, then ran box to correct temperature and checked/adjusted level, basically a flush is doing what I did twice until you get clean oil out.

Its one of them things that once its been demystified it will become common diy stuff, they have just worked out how to do the 8 speed box and thats been out since 2012.

Have a read here DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - FILO's autobox oil change

Thanks, that is very informative.

So by disconnecting the pipe at the oil cooler, you can have the tc empty itself into a bucket - around 4 litres as you said. What about the other 4-5 litres, drop the pan and drain them from there?
