I feel like this is such a basic question but honestly I’ve been going round in circles trying to figure this out and I’m hoping someone can give me some practical advice that doesn’t just involve taking it to a garage and hoping they’re honest with me. I’ve got a 2018 A4 2.0 TFSI with about 65,000 kms on the clock and the car drives absolutely fine, no jerking, no slipping, no rough shifts, nothing that would make me think there’s a problem. But I’ve been reading through various forums and there’s so much conflicting information about when to change the transmission fluid, some people say every 60,000 kms, others say 80,000, some say the dealer told them it’s lifetime fluid and never needs changing, and others say that’s complete nonsense. I don’t want to be the guy who neglects maintenance and ends up with a ruined gearbox, but I also don’t want to waste money on a service that might not even be necessary at this mileage. I know the owner’s manual doesn’t really give a clear answer either, it just says to check with an authorized dealer which feels like a cop out to be honest. I’ve been trying to find some reliable information about Audi Transmission Fluid Change UAE and whether there’s any specific guidance for our climate because I imagine the heat here puts extra stress on the fluid compared to cooler countries. Is there any way to tell if the fluid needs changing just by driving the car, like any specific symptoms I should be looking out for, or is it just one of those preventative maintenance things where you have to do it on a schedule regardless of how the car feels? I’d really appreciate some honest advice from people who’ve been through this because I genuinely don’t know what to do for the best.
