I have a 2001 A6 FWD Tiptronic I have seen several posts about this. When do I change the transmission fluid and filter? The dealership says to leave it alone and I say yeah right and one day have to replace the whole trasmission. All fluids wear out and filters do clog. Where is a good place to get the parts and what kind of fluid does it require. I dont have a scan tool yet which im told is needed to check the fluid level when re-filling. I have not seen a fill plug on the case. Does anyone know where it is located? Any help with this would be greatly appreceiated and thanks again to everyone on here. Casey

 

Check this place out. You can get the whole kit. I plan on doing mine soon also.

They have a ton of other necessities also.

Thanks for the info. Let me know how yours goes.

 

The fill plug is on the bottom of the trans.

 

Sweet! Looks like I will fill mine up with Amsoil.
