so i changed my atf fluid about a month ago and purchased fluid for 17 dollars a liter at the dealership. i was doing a little more research on the specific fluid that audi and vw uses and i found this page. basically there are a couple other fluids that are the same as the esso lt 71141 fluid. get this, for 3 dollars a quart. read the page and get the info. at this price im going to change it again just to flush it better. the page is http://www.taligentx.com/passat/maintenance/atfchange/

i hope this will help someone save some money. wish i wouldve found this sooner.

 

Thanks for the heads up!
