Funny, I changed mine without Audi fluid and its working as good or better than ever. Mercon SP in mine too. No Vag-Com used either. Didn't change it the first time till 145,000 miles. Some of us just have to prove the world is not flat. Guess that's just the way I roll.
Going to get changed again at 150,000 miles with Mercon SP along with a filter, without a Vag-Com and run to 300,000 miles before another change. Gasp!

It does rattle some at startup for about 2 tenths of a second, sometimes it rattles ver hard if it sits for longer periods, but never seems to be a problem. Engine oil samples show very, very little wear metals at 10,000 mile intervals. Good power and mileage and no oil usage.

No I haven't. Car has had the usual MMI updates, trunk latch update and I had to pay for the heater valve replacement due to hot air blowing outside vents and that is about it for problems. I changed my brake pads front and rear, again without vag-com. Change my own oil at 10,000 mile intervals with Mobil 1, and do all my own servicing of spark plugs, filters, trans. oil changes ect. I'm rather impressed with how this car is holding up. Still drives and is tight as new. Longest I have ever owned a vehicle and am still loving it, planning to run the wheels off this one!

No, I went thru all the steps warming it up running the engine and checked the level after the change.
Just to be sure I was getting proper level at the right temp, I checked it prior to draining original fluid out also so I knew that I was checking properly at about the right temp.
Proper temp is about 100 Deg. F. As I recall its 40-50 C. That's not very warm.
