Are you staying over or going to make it one hell of a long day trip.

I try to gt to the Merchant City Festival each year and book the hotel months in advance, last year was out as Commonwealth Games running and hotels were 5 x more expensive

(Usually get a 4 or 5 star for £60 but was £300 a night and not practical).

As there will be syncronised drinking I'll not be driving that much and am up there Thurs-Sun, since will be leaving at silly-o'clock Thursday morning (4am) will be able to leave my car with them until ready to collect on Saturday...will save me on parking too!

Also will give me the chance to better the 920 miles for a single tank achieved in 2013

They are just 4 miles from hotel so will get a taxi there and back, really want to be there & actually see them tightening up the internals (the sceptic in me says unless I see it it didn't happen).

As had a new filter and pan 18 months ago it will just be a fluid change in my case so may be cheaper than your service...B5 does your receipt not detail how many liters were used?

No reference to how many liters used, but the system was fully flushed. I cannot see them doing anything on the cheap or cutting corners as it would not be worth their reputation and accreditation.

Hi folks, just to revive this thread, as Im about to do the front & rear diffs on my car ( that oil is easy to get hold of, a 75w-90 fully syn GL5 oil by Ravenol VSG ), which is the same as G052 145 S2, however has ANYBODY ever changed the centre torsen diff fluid ?

My Phaeton lists this as the VSG, which contradicts the A6 TDI, as this is a 4% added sturaco mix G055 145 A2 : Wait for it, at a cost of £126 p/litre at the dealer !!!

Even the parts man had to pull himself up from the floor, surely all audis cannot be running with the same direct shift fluid, as it's listed in the service schedule as needing a change at about 60k ?

Any ideas ? It was also listed as a Castrol SAF AG 4 - Q type, I only need 1 litre for both cars !

Anybody ???

Cheers Gups ( hope you are well fella

)

however the FUCHS is only VW TL 521 45-Y (G 052 145 A2) compliant.... the bit that makes it G055 145... is the sturaco additive ( comes in 50ml bottles ! )...

I did find that the ZF part number is V671 600 020 ( so may ask Bristol tranny tomoz if they can get this.... )...

still couldn't belive the audi price was £126 p/litre !

what's odd on the ravenol website is that they don't quote the G055 for the centre diff on the phaeton, but they are identical to my A6 quatto !
