[daniel.718]

Hello, so i noticed a small leak under car around the transmission. I took car to dealership and was quoted $9K to repair leak. i included there statement and break down of cost below. has anyone ran into a similar scenario? i would honestly rather sell the car then pay 9K for a leak.
Car is a 2014 S4 with 44,000 miles and automatic transmission.

If it's a rear main seal leak it shouldn't be red ......?

first off, confirm this is really the rear main seal and not your oild filter housing and/or it's gasket. second, find somebody who charges more reasonable labor, should be about 10-11 hrs if it's really your rear main seal.
P.S. is that really a quote for a rear main seal? It doesn't say anything about that, did they tell you that specifically or just offered a price to fix that leak?

If it's not warranty work, avoid the dealership at all costs. Find a trusted Audi/VW independent shop nearby and they'll take much better care of your car and at a cheaper price.

this. No Name Motorsport in LI is a solid shop if you’re close

Even the $190 to look under the car and see a leak is insane.

And how red fluid is diagnosed as a rear main is beyond me???

[wangshuo1989]

Only red fluid in this car is coolant, I could be wrong though.

[f1torrents]

The DSG fluid is clear is it not?

For 9k you could just buy a new engine....

I’d do it for 2k lol

Though if you’re going that deep, do it all while it’s open like I did.

Sounds like it’s not oil leaking tho, I agree, get a second opinion!!!

My engine not to long ago…



My engine now… ready to go back in.

Great work...

That’s a crackhead price. I was getting quotes closer to $1k in labor to do a clutch job including the rear main seal

[Austin88]

Rear main seal is easy once you have trans dropped. That’s highway robbery

[blackfunk]

That's call a fuck off price. They price it that way so you'll go someplace else because they don't want to be bothered.
