Is there a definitive Multitronic Gearbox maintenance regime????

[mrmule]

As above?

I know they are problematic (just like the RS6 box - utter plonker designed that...) I just want to know if anyone can recommend any preventative maintenance??

Mate is having trouble with his (2.5tdi) and I'd like to avoid any pitfalls if I can...

What do Audi say?

What is possible? Oil and filter and thats it??

Well the MultiTronic oil change every 40k is a must. Other than that, nothing else you can do really, ECU failures tend to be common and can happen anytime without any regard for how you drive.

Regular gearbox Oil changes, i will be doing Oil changes every 20,000-30,000 miles instead of the recommended 40,000 keep everything clean and lubricated down there.

Mine's being done at the next service which is about 34k miles from the box being replaced....early enough that if there are any issues Audi can sub me another box.... :-)
