Zf8 f30 xdrive service

Swift211 · 08-27-2021, 05:28 AM

Hello All. Just wondering if anybody can recommend a good garage to get this done in the Midlands from their own experience. The cars on 54k 335d xdrive, also what I'm looking at roughly cost wise.
Thank you in advance.

How about asking in the UK subforum? Not sure someone from California or Australia will be able to help you with this info...
Just a thought.

IMHO that mileage is still low for a trans service. For reference and maybe I’m playing with fire but I have 194k miles on the trans with the original fluid and filter with no issues. If your heart is set on doing the trans filter kit and fluid change, here in the states it’s about $350-$600 USD parts/labor on average, depending on the location/shop.

The recommended by the manufacturer service interval for the transmission is between 80 000 and 120 000 km, or 50k to 75k miles.
So no - his mileage is not low, although not high either. Yours is way overdue...

No point in changing mine at my mileage. Again, maybe I’ve been lucky.

Happy motoring.

That's your call, of course.
And no, it's not binary (either works or not). Yours is most likely working but in a degraded state (speed, smoothness, etc.). Lucky? No. Just late.

Not degraded. Shifts/responds like it did when I first got it.

Cheers.
