S tronic Fluid — Not Lifetime in Malaysia
Audi once labelled the S tronic dual-clutch gearbox as having lifetime fluid — this has since been revised. In Malaysia's heat, S tronic fluid breaks down faster than in Germany. Dark fluid at 20,000 km indicates oxidation and reduced clutch lubrication. A Q3 S tronic rebuild costs ; a fluid service costs . At 4M Car Care we inspect S tronic fluid condition at every major service and use VCDS to check clutch adaptation values after any fluid change.
