thanks

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.
