Tiptronic... A warning

[Whippy53]

It clearly states in my handbook that the oil should be changed every 38k. I find it incredible that a dealer is not aware that this car has never been sold with the tiptronic box. ��

I own a Skoda Superb with the DSG gearbox which i 5 years old (owned from new)but only covered 32000 miles..

Last month it went in for service, MOT, brake fluid change and timing belt kit/water pump due to the recommended Skoda 5 years/80000 miles service interval...

When I enquired for the costs in January this year as I knew both my cars are the same age and both Skoda's, the other a Rapid, and both due similar things at 5 years, I requested the cost of everything below apart from the DSG service as I knew that the others were due, but the dealer actually stated that it needed servicing so I suppose it is also down to the dealer actually knowing there products and what is/is not required each time..

Service - £169.00inc VAT (Fixed price)
MOT - £39.00inc VAT (Fixed price)
Timing belt inc water pump, tensioners, rollers and all associated parts - £569.00inc VAT (Discounted as retail price is £664.00inc VAT)

Also due after 5 years is a brake fluid change - £54.00inc VAT (then due every 2 years) (Fixed price)
Also with your vehicle being DSG, the DSG oil and filter change is due every 40000 miles. As far as I can see on the service record this hasn’t been done before. Priced at £178.00inc VAT (Fixed price)

BEFORE anyone says anything, I know I could get these a LOT cheaper using one of the excellent independents but I have always used the dealer lol

So what are the costs involved in getting these different types of gearboxes serviced? Audi are going to get a bad reputation with this sort of nonsense. With so many people doing lease hire the problem is only going to get worse for those buying on the used market

A7 272 paired as mentioned with the s-tronic.
S tronic Oil and Filter change @ 37700 miles last year = £187.49
ATF: £78.30
Gear Oil : 13.50 x 7
Filter : 8.70 x1
Seal Ring: 1x 7.83
Washer: 1 x 2.15

Hope that helps!
