Transmission service
I've got an 04 CC that I'm bringing into the dealer tommorrow for a transmission flush. Should I have them change out the external filter when doing the service? Also, how easy is it to do myself? I've seen pics of where it sits, just don't know if I have to disconnect return lines, etc when changing the filter. Thanks

The filter housing unscrews without removing the lines. It's a 1 minute job to change. I'd have it done.

No matter what, whenever you have your trans fluid flushed, you should always have the filter changed. It may cost a little extra but it'll save you a new transmission in the long run.
