I went to a 'Grease Monkey' one time, before a long trip. They stripped the fill plug, so the oil slowly drained out, 3 states away when I discovered it. NEVER take your car to 'Oil Change places'.

This is why you should attempt simple maintenance like oil changes. It’ll save you money and you’ll never have to wonder if it was done right. Get an extractor and you don’t even need mechanical knowledge to figure out how to do this.
I change my A4 oil and filter and DSG oil myself. Oil every 5k, filter every 10k and DSG fluid every 40k. I use an extraction pump to pull the oil so I do it all topside. Can’t change the DSG filter as it’s built into the mechatronic unit somehow. I don’t see how they could double fill a B9 transmission as it has to be pumped up into the case through the drain hole, but I get it.
that's too high of a frequency DSG fluid can go up to 80,000 miles and engine oil 8,000 filters are changed at the same interval as the fluids mechatronic work should only be done by German auto specialists
@@hurrymagwaya Audi specifies 40000Mi or 60000Km intervals for dsg fluid on the b9 platform. Note the b9 dsg transmissions have two separate fluid cavities, one for the gear fluid (MTF) and one for the mechatronics and clutches (DSG Fluid). The MTF is "Lifetime"
One single check of a dipstick after the fill should let them know they done fucked up, IF they are following any sort of procedure at all, one look at the color of the fluid, one look at the shape of the unit above the drain pan and the proximity of the drive shaft. One look at technical data for a car you’ve never worked on before. There are so many reasons this shouldn’t have happened. That quick lube place better be cutting your shop a check for any and all work related to this.
True except for dipstick as these Audis do not come with a dipstick and infotainment oil level display will not show oil level hood's been opened (once the hood is closed car needs to be driven or left with ignition on for an hour for the oil level to be displayed again). But a reputable place would have an obd scanner that can access oil level data directly from the computer and first of all would know that the oil pan is under the engine and not the transmission.
@@rgolab3174that’s so stupid. More manufacturers making things harder to service at home! Nothing wrong with a $1 dipstick instead of a $20 sensor that’s impossible to easily replace.

@WhiteG60 not sure what car you have but personally I've got a 2016 Audi S4 that does not have a dipstick and I have to read through the MMI.

That also means they filled it and did not check the oil level afterwards. Even if the technician accidentally drains the transmission and doesn't realize it. Should have caught it with a after fill check.
I've unfortunately seen major damage done from a double filled engine as well, luckily it was a gm overhead valve engine so it survived but the overfilled oil was high enough for the crankshaft to spin inside it and froth the oil up, which air locked and fried the oil pump. Luckily the customer shut it off right Away when it got noisy and just the oil pump was all it needed to run good again. Anyway point is that customer is really lucky to not need a new engine and that oil change tech is really lucky to not need a new job
After being a lube tech for some time in college, I understand why they thought that was the engine oil drain. Audi puts the engines in front of the front axle and the trans pan is around where it would be on most 4x4 trucks, SUVs, and older rwd cars.
At least on my Y2K era VW/Audi V6 engines, the freakin' oil filter is right behind the bumper and the oil drain is right next to it. But I should probably find a way to mark the transmission pan if I ever take my car somewhere that isn't a German auto specialist.
Ok, but if if you're an inexperienced tech and you look at both pans, wtf do you think the front one is?? Or, it takes 39 seconds to 1 minute to ask someone before you start on it. Very little effort.
good on VW for making it "no start" if the trans is dry. There are Asian brands where they'll happily drive down the road shredding themselves to pieces after Jiffy Lube accidentally drained the trans.
If you drain the engine and double fill your trans, you will overfill the trans and the overflow will go to the transfer case. So you will get a blown engine AND a blown transfer case.
I've seen this first hand on audis too, even experienced people do this. Kind of like how Subaru drain bolts for the engine and transmission are side by side basically.
Every car I worked on has a transmission and oil pan that looks alike. That is not an excuse whatsoever. There were so many red flags they should have seen. The color of the fluid, checking the dipstick, just hearing the engine after starting. How can you afford a car like this and take it to a jiffy lube type of place????

Welp customers need to start taking accountability for their actions. Why didn't he do due diligence before he decided to take it to any shop to make sure it was a reputable place he could of avoided all these headaches
Before I got my Audi A4, I have an vw gti and I have been changing the oil all the time. But for the first time I did it to Audi A4, I drain the transmission by mistake. Luckily, when I saw the oil color was clear, I realized something was wrong. Then I took off the second dust panel and found where the engine was. They look way too similar.
Clearly whoever changed the oil didn’t give a crap, was just there for a paycheck and knows nothing about cars. HOWEVER, I’m the opposite, care a lot about cars and know a lot about cars. My first job working on cars i worked at a lube cube in my town near Detroit. While I was doing the training my first week, a Cadillac came in (cts iirc) the guy training me told me to drain the oil so I went to drain the oil and he goes no, this one(points at trans drain). I told him no, this is the oil drain and that is the trans drain. Well he said bet you’re wrong, I’ve been working here for years doing this, I know what I’m doing. So he took the wrench from me and dropped took off the plug, and drained the transmission. I about died laughing when he looks at the fluid draining and asked me why it wasn’t dirty oil coming out. He was suspended for a week and had to arrange for a tow to a real shop across the street. In our shop that was our policy, first time you fuck up, you either fix it out of pocket(aka new oil change or trans sevrice service etc) or arrange the fix and go home for a week. 2nd fuckup was goodbye, you didn’t learn.
It is obvious that the garages who changed the oil but drained tge transmission fluid should not be in business. If they're a true oil changing facility or mechanic garage. They should be aware of the locations of the oil pan and plug and transmission pan and plug. If not since we're in the digital media age they could have looked it up.

Eh? On the 2.8L V6 from around Y2K, the oil pan drain is a big old hex bolt sticking out of the oil pan next to the oil cooler with an oil filter on it. The trans pan drain is a giant Allen bolt on the bottom of the trans pan .
How does this even happen? I know you’re just being nice saying “they look a lot alike” but even my mom who couldn’t turn a wrench if she went to school for it, knows an engine oil pan va trans pan. There’s no excuses. That place is going to be paying lol.
I had a FWD Passat and now have an AWD Audi with the same 2.8L V6. The oil filter spins onto the oil cooler which is right effing next to the oil pan drain. They're all right behind the bumper on the driver's side.
Yeah, seriously! My oil drain plug is next to the oil cooler that the oil filter spins onto, makes it really convenient AND OBVIOUS. But this is an Audi from 1999...
