I'm a bit unsure but would suspect that the fluid has to be changed in there rear diff b/c of the clutches. So does the Sports Diff fluid have to be serviced as well? If so, when? Does anyone know of any dealers that are aware of these services in northern NJ or NY?

Dunno about NJ/NY dealerships, but at least one Colorado dealership (Prestige) does now. Took my car in yesterday for 25k service and asked about required DSG fluid change at 35k. My service rep at first knew nothing of it, so I asked him to look it up. Six hours later he called confirming its a required service, and the cost will be covered under my Audicare. I'm amazed that forum users tend to know more about the cars than service reps but, to their credit, they did the research I asked them to and maybe other owners will benefit now.

I'll locate and scan the page today, in the meantime, Audi clearly means for the service to happen, they even changed the 2010 service schedule to reflect that the 35K mile change of oil applies to S4 and S5 with DSG.

Oddly, from 2011 models on, the oil AND filter are changed like the TT and TTS

Nice find Neal. I just had my 70,000 km service which is my last under Audicare. From reading your post my brake fluid should have been changed. I'll call the service department tomorrow to ensure it was changed. Any idea what the dealer charges for the DSG service? I'll need to get it changed at 115,000 km. I din't see anything in the service schedule regarding the sport diff.

Thanks for posting the service schedule. I called my dealer today as I just had my 70km service done. Last Audicare service. I questioned the service rep. about the brake fluid change. This was overlooked and will be done free of charge on Monday. The brake fluid is changed every two years. Thanks for bringing this document to our attention.
