    Hello,

    I am wondering if the NZP code gearbox needs a service.

    It is a 2013 Audi A7 3.0 TDI.

    It is a 8 speed gearbox and I believe it is Tiptronic.

    In my service book it says S-Tronic needs servicing on basically all models, but there are only 3 listed cars for a Tiptronic service, and these are hybrids.

    Audi told me it does not need doing but just thought i would ask if it is worth it or if i can just leave it?

    Thanks

    It is a very good thing to do every 40k miles, if you give me your VIN I can see what the system says is the factory recommendation. At the moment we are seeing a lot of problems with this ZF 8HP55A (0BK series) and they are £10612.54 when they go, gearbox specialists are very reluctant to go deep into them and Audi provide few spares, they don't even offer a recon unit themselves, only new.

    They are filled for life I am told by Audi. So when they die their life has expired so I guess Audi is right all the time.
    Only joking! If you want your car to last without an outrageous expense, its best to follow Crashers guidance.

    I believe that ZF recommend an oil change every 8 years or 50-80K miles depending on driving conditions. It's a specialist job as the torque converter needs flushed and not many places have the equipment to do it. Probably best to find a ZF specialist near you.
