[tuxman]

we have got a 2003 TT 225 quattro and the dealer is recommeneding a rear diff oil change at 33000 miles , i thought the diffs were sealed for life as my a6 4.2 quattro did not need the oil changing , is he right or trying to get more cash out of me ?????

Haldex diff on TTs needs the filter changing every 20k and the oil and filter changing every 40k.

I got a 'reminder' from Audi that the Haldex oil needed changing (2yrs/20k) but when I contacted the dealer they said that on my car (2004, 3.2) the change interval was 40k. But before I got that far they quoted me about £60 for the job.

There has been much confusion about this.
Haldex themselves say it should be an oil change every 20k with a filter every 40k.

Apologies, I must have scooted straight over your post.
Anyway, it's in line with what Haldex recommend.
When I first got my 4motion VAG dealers didn't have much clue when what was required.

No, I mean maybe I got it backwards. I wasn't being funny (for a change)
