my car only has 33k miles, but as far as I know the pdk fluids have never been changed. So 13 years old, only 33k miles. I'm always torn on how necessary this stuff really is, given I've never changed tranny fluid on any other vehicle i've ever owned. Thoughts welcome.

 

I did for mine at 80k at the dealer its pricey though
no after effect

 

Did mine after acquired it, had about 50k on it and no records of it ever being done– seemed to make shifts a little smoother /faster but also added a europipe exhaust at same time, changed plugs, a few other service bits so not a true before and after comparison. Generally speaking I am in the camp if you plan on owning it for a while good to replace most fluids after an initial purchase to get a good baseline.

 

I would do it....supposed to be 6 years or 60k miles

 

58k on my 2011 TTS, and I had it done last year. This is not something to skip given the cost of a replacement pdk transmission.

 

Not sure it's required but for piece of mind it's a good idea.. Definitely won't hurt anything other than you wallet.. From a logical standpoint, there must be a time limit that the fluid should be changed at, can't only be a mileage thing..

 

See my post above lol

 

change it ! ... 12 year for transmission and 4 years for clutch fluid

i would do both !
