...to get someone to change the gearbox fluid on an Audi? It's becoming clear that 14 years of SL ownership have left me spoiled and privileged. I've tried several different garages to get a quote and make a booking, without success.
The local main dealer has no idea, just trolling out the "It's filled for life" tripe. Yes, and I'd like that non-finite duration to be as long as possible please. Alas no, despite offering them my money they would not yield. I've tried several respected marque specialists, and while all have taken my details and promised to come back with a quote, to date none of them have.
It's really not that difficult a job, being a ZF 6HP box that was at one time or another fitted to half the yearly output of the German motor industry, and a fair chunk of the British one too. ZF themselves have published a video telling you exactly what to do. I'd do it myself but for being able to get the vehicle high enough, I don't think axle stands will cut it here.
