Is Haldex fluid change part of the S3's maintenance interval?

[kev0]

I'm asking because I've purchased a 2020 S3 with 40k miles on it with CPO and I'm looking through it's Carfax history and while it does mention:

Vehicle serviced (8/26/2021)
- Maintenance inspection completed
- 20,000 mile service performed
- Bake fluid flushed/changed
- Vehicle washed detailed
- Drivability/performance checked
- Oil and filter changed
- Brakes checked


Vehicle serviced (4/12/2022)
- Maintenance inspection completed
- 30,000 mile service performed

Vehicle Serviced (11/15/2022)
- Recommended maintenance performed
- Maintenance inspection completed
- Brake fluid flushed/changed
- Vehicle washed/detailed
- Oil and filter changed
- Tires rotated
- Tire(s) replaced

It doesn't specifically mention transmission oil. So do I assume that it hasn't been changed once? Should I just pay a shop or Audi to do it? What's the ballpark price for the fluid change (US)?

Since you are there you also want to do the front bevel box fluid change and rear diff gear oil change also.

Here is Audi's Official maintenance schedule:

Instead of worrying about what needs to be done when...read exactly what when with the maintenance schedule.

The 7-speed DSG only requires fluid change every 80k, according to Audi! So, chances are that it didn't get changed out at the 40k mark. Also note that Audi never mentioned anything about changing out the filter, so it would be wise to have the filter replace at the same time, if you're doing the fluid.

I owned 4 Audi's with DSG since 2010. 3 of them were with ~90k when I purchased them. All 3 came with full service history done only by Audi dealership. I changed the DSG oil right after I bought them. On all 3 DSG oil was never changed. I doubt they ever change it unless you specifically ask for it. Just my experience... Same with the haldex and bevel box.

7 speed DQ 381 its changed every 80,000 miles. (2018 and up)

6 speed DQ 250 at 35,000 then every 40,000.

Haldex is every 3 years reguardless of miles.
