So having had the arts for my tiptronic oil change since November last I finally bit the bullet after getting some oil from ECP.
I have been on the fence for a long while in regards to the oil but finally figured that anything new has got to be better than whats in it at the moment.
So I went for the Gulf Multi Transmission oil.
Job from end to end took about 4 hours but thats due to the way I have to get it off the ground to get underneath it and lack of the right tool to fill the transmission back up and the time it took to warm up.
Total cost was £130 for filter and oil.
So my top tip for this is get a transmission oil syringe that has a 6mm tube for refilling.
I ended up filling about 100ml at a time and it took forever. Especially as you fill it once, then let the transmission warm up and fill it again, then take it thre the R,1 and 2 and then fill it again.
Yet to road test but going through the gears I had no clunks like I was getting before.
