It's not an actual fluid issue. The flush is to remove whatever may have been damaged metal shavings, debris, etc. From the fluid and housings. The issue is they put insanely high slip%'s into the A8 to make it feel more comfortable but that caused low fluid line pressure to happen in regular driving scenarios. I wish i could get someone from a speed shop who has seen the issue investigated it and fixed it to chime in because I'm not a mechanic just did a ton of research and asked around to our parts development community.

My thoughts exactly. I did hear 2018s supposedly aren't affected I'd like to see the TCM tunes side by side myself but you do work at a dealership so I'm deferring what's still being done to you.
