I remember a while ago, we discussed the cooling for the Tiptronic transmissions being the weak point. I have seen many VW Passats and Audi A4s with the same transmission often getting well into 200k miles and have the engine fail with the transmission still good. Better cooling? I think that hot climates, that see normal summer temps of > 38C/100F, the "lifetime" fluid should be changed every few years.
If it wasn't clear in my earlier post, I do enjoy using my 1999 tip as a daily driver, otherwise, I'd drive another. Great around town and easy in traffic.
