      The oil in the manual gearbox of your 2010 Audi A3 needs to be changed.
      This is not a ‘sealed’ gearbox, and the oil becomes contaminated over time.
      - Use oil that meets VW G 052 171 A2 specifications, approximately 2.2 litres.
      It is recommended to change the oil every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometres.
