Our Repair Process

A7 is Audi's premium sportback β€” transmission expectations are high. ZF 8HP repairs are the primary service. DQ500 mechatronic on FWD models follows standard wet-DCT procedures. RS7 V8 requires more frequent fluid service.

Fluid Specification

ZF 8HP: ZF LGF8. DQ500: G 060 162 A2. Change every 40,000 miles.

Repair Time Estimate

ZF 8HP rebuild: 3–4 days. DQ500 mechatronic: 1–2 days.
