Exclamation Changing Automatic Transmission Fluid B5

Does anyone know how to change the automatic transmission fluid in a tiptronic B5 S4?

All I need to know how to do is basically check the level and add some if that is needed.

If it is not needed I just wanted to drain 2 quarts and put 2 fresh quarts in to hold it over until spring.

The main problem is that it seems that the drain and fill plug is at the bottom of the pan. If the fill plug is at the bottom of the pan how do I put new fluid in?

Sorry if the wording is confusing. This is my first time doing this.

Thank you for any input you may have!

you don't need a special tool.
its tricky but a simple pump (hand soap dispenser type) can be used
got my kit from blauparts.. its tricky but you can use the pump inside of the wheel well if need be
the fill hole has a space for hoses/tubes toward the rear of the vehicle
