definitely get the fluid changed, I have the older 6 speed and the dealer initially told me the fluid never needed changing twice, after reading on here I pointed out the towing part (it has has had a towbar since new!) and they suddenly backtracked saying oh yes it should have been done at 36000 miles, at which point I had done 62000 miles. luckily I didn't start towing with it until 30,000 the tow bar was on because the dealer had it as a demo with a bike rack on.

I am hoping that since it didn't tow for the first 30,000 my gearbox will be ok, only time will tell but it's done 10,000 since the fluid change.
