Have an appointment in Dortmund at ZF on 12.02. at 9 a.m. After my descriptions of the switching problems and the display confusion in AI, the contact person said that although one could not make a new gearbox out of it (204,000 km) but could improve it a lot.
On his question when the sieve was changed, I had to reveal the history of my A8... because never before!!!!
Because VAG doesn't consider it necessary or useful as Audi advertises with a lifetime mileage filling! 
I've been confirmed that life is on max. 120,000 km, but in normal driving in southern countries already at 80,000 km and in northern, humid countries as well as in frequent fast and bottom-plate rides at least the oil should get out every 40,000 km! 
Well, you can see again what the "friendly" have on it.
Well, I'll tell you about the progress and the improvements at this point. Keep your fingers crossed and everything goes back without a mistake!
Standard costs with small parts, filters, oil etc max. 350,- €. For the DTD transmission model 1998 there should be a special repset that should improve the switching behavior again!!?
As I understand it, it's kind of a revision stage. That would be 300,- € again, but that would only be necessary under certain conditions.Let's see what this is gonna be.....THEY ARE SPANTED!
