hello,

i have a 1998 Audi A6 non-quattro with the 2.8L 30V engine... im planning to do a transmission oil change.. im planning on doing it myself. does one typically change the gaskets and filter at the same time or just new fluid... can someone point me to the right direction.. guide? also where can i buy it online wise, the best price and good quality..

thanks

 

i think this should be the kit i'm looking for, correct me if im wrong...

You are correct...that's the kit I'm buying as well...and yes...change out the filter and gasket.

 

Buy that kit with one additional liter of fluid.

 

i think im just going to the change the liquid part. not buying the kit.. after i drain the old fluid, how much liters of the new stuff do i need?? they have these 1-Liter bottles http://www.germanautoparts.com/chemi...20oils/VW-Audi so will these be good? because i heard somewhere audis require special transmission fluid made for them.. so are those good. how many liters

 

The kit from blauparts comes with a hand pump for getting the ATF into the fill hole. You have to remove and clean the pan and replace the filter. If you don't follow the Bentley instructions for checking the ATF fluid level, you could ruin your transmission. VAG-COM is used to check the ATF temperature (www.ross-tech.com). Audi transmissions don't have a dip stick and they are expensive to service and repair.

 

i already have a pump.. so how many 1-liter bottles do i buy? and can i buy the t4ra4nny fluid filter at the dealership. also i have VAG-COM so where can i find the proper instructions..

 

I have a PDF of fluid change DIY that I created. Give me your email and I can send it to you.

As for the fluid, it is G052 162 A2.

 

i have a 98 a6 as well and it took 5 liters

 

Which fluid should I order for my grocery-getter?
*Dexron III or the 'G 052 162 A2' equivalent?

No tiptronic, so it seems either is fine for my needs.
