Audi gearbox service!

[cjb44]

Just purchased for my wife a 2017 Audi A1 1.4 tfsi S Line S Tronic Euro 6 automatic 48,000 miles. The car is an Audi approved vehicle with full Audi service history, when I enquired if the gearbox had oil had been changed the reply was "as the car is Audi approved with full service history it will have everything done as required by the manufacturer's schedule". When I checked the service history I could not find any evidence of a gearbox oil change, on questioning the Service Manager he advised that according to Audi, the A1 does not require the automatic gearbox oil to be changed as it is "sealed for life". Further questioning revealed that the larger models, A6, Q3, Q5 etc. DO require the automatic gearbox oil to be changed at 38,000.
Does anyone have first hand experience whether this is true and accurate, or should I get my reliable and trustworthy Independent to change the oil anyhow.

Thanks.

So what was the definitive answer then?

The answer was that no the gearbox does not require an oil change during it's entire life!
He also confirmed that the car has just had an oil change and filter, new plugs and the brake fluid changed; this brings the Audi history upto date for the car.
None of this had been available to me on the Audi owners portal that they supply as it is different to the official Audi service history; goodness knows why surely this does not need to be a secret.
