<IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0">99 a6 avant 2.8 Where in the heck is the automatic transmmisson dip stick? I can,t even find it in the owners manuel that locates everyother fluid location. also where can I find a maintenece schedule for the 99 A6.

 

thats because there isnt one its basically a sealed unit but there is a plug on the bottom of the tranny but it probly wont help you</P>


the way the dealer checks the fluid is by putting you car on a lift hooking up to a computer to read the transmision temp and when the tranny reaches a certain temp they open this plug. then if the tranny fluid drips out slowly its ok if it pours out theres to much if nothing comes out they slowly put some in until it dribbles out</P>


easy huh<IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0"></P>

 

Good description. Don't forget there is also a small drain plug. I know cuz I opened it one day by mistake....imagine my surprise.<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0">

Audi considers its auto tranny fluid a lifetime fluid.

 

<IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0">thanks for the info. I'm wondering whose lifetime. dodge truck was only60000 hope audi is longer

 

Audi's automatic tranny oil is not your typical oil - it is mineral based and has a very long life expectancy. That said - I would change it at around 100K miles just for piece of mind anyway.
