Drop me an email, and I'll attach the instructions to a reply.

I would suggest changing the filter while you are doing it.

Out of interest when changing oil and filter do you bother to remove the drain plug from each Turbo oil container and drain or do you take the view that it is such a small amount and that it does not matter. Just interested in peoples views as not sure myself.
 
Baz - I hope you were thinking about a Tiptronic ATF change, not an engine oil change........

Eddie - To be honest, I don't bother with the Turbo oil tanks if I'm doing it myself (between services). Firstly, the plugs are a pig to get out. The other thing is that the system holds 12.5 litres, but the change quantity (the most you can drain out) is 8.5 litres. Therefore, the small amount the turbo tanks hold is insignificant.
