Thank you all for the helpful advice!
The car is a manual transmission (sorry should have said this in the initial post!). I bought the car at 135k miles from a company car driver (motorway miles, sales rep stuff etc) so it's generally not been too bashed around town etc. Service history was regular and with Audi main dealers before I bought it and switched to independents for servicing. My mileage is also fairly high so keen to keep the car well looked after and running well for the next 2-3 years until around 180-200k. The engine is very quiet and smooth for a diesel and seems to be running well so fingers crossed! Keen to hear any other maintenance tips for a high mileage vehicle such as this aside from the usual diligent servicing and oil changes.
I will take your advice and call the Audi dealer who serviced it to ask whether they changed the fluid and contact my local independent to take a look.
Thanks again

Hello folks
I have a 2011 A3 TDI with 155k on the clock. I've looked through the cars service history and can't find any evidence of a transmission fluid change or service. Having done some online research it appears that these cars have been designed with 'maintenance free' transmissions. I find this hard to believe so keen to get any advice on whether a fluid change or flush is a good idea. Keen to keep the car running well for a while longer yet.
Many thanks in advance!
