The tranny needes to be warmed up, then level checked and added as needed. getting the tranny to temp is hard, right temp that is. you can simply check on after driving for 5-15 min, then carfully toping the fluid all way through. Wont be presice, but close to.
That remids me, I should check it as well on my car.

if its like a cap on the tranny, then you just top off till its full, if it has a tube for the stick, then ether stick is missing, or audi got confused when assembled the car.

same here, looks like you are missing the stick. Does the cap looks like it should have the stick atached?
