I had my Rally Mech talk to several Audi dealers with whom he has a good
working relatioinship and they all told him the same thing.  Basically there
is no check, refill or change recommended.  And Carlos is a trained Audi
Mech, he run his cars in SCCA Performance Rally has been involved in Rallying
for many years, including the Monte Carlo. He looked at the transmission as
well and saw no way to do any service - just run it until it fails. It sounds
as if the Audi Tech you spoke with had come up with a workaround solution.
