Nov 27, 2017 at 12:47 comment added motosubatsu I had a horrible feeling you were going to say that..as it would mean the cash I spent on the fluid change so far is literally "down the drain" :(
Nov 27, 2017 at 10:14 comment added GdD It might need a flush, when you drain a transmission half the fluid stays in it, stuck in the torque converter and all the books. A flush get all the old fluid out.
Nov 27, 2017 at 9:13 comment added motosubatsu @GdD.. it seems better but it's still happening so think i't back to the drawing board :(

Adding an update.
Nov 14, 2017 at 17:01 comment added motosubatsu @JPhi1618 it's pre-DSG so it's an old-school ZF Tiptronic box. I've got a fluid change arranged for the morning (9 litres of ATF at £13 a litre - the financial blackhole that is running a big old V8 barge strikes again!)
Nov 14, 2017 at 16:46 comment added JPhi1618 If that car has the a DSG transmission, they are well built, but the service is considered important to keep them in good condition.

Nov 14, 2017 at 13:40 comment added motosubatsu Irritatingly this model has no dipstick for checking transmission fluid level (thanks Audi!), I've only had the car <12 months and haven't done a fluid change in that time - if it was changed according to the schedule then it should have been done at 80k miles. It's on 151k now so it might be trying to tell me that it's coming due again?
Nov 14, 2017 at 13:26 comment added GdD Have you checked the transmission fluid level according to your manual? How long has it been since the transmission has had a service?
