My Audi Dealer didn't want to do it. I think i will insist on it though when i make my next trip for maintenance. Problem is if I were to use turkeybaster's research and walk in with 10 quarts of the ford branded atf I would lose any chance at a claim later on if a problem did arise. So i am forced to pay for the atf there at the dealer. The only alternative being an independent Audi service location.

The continuing saga of the A/T fluid question
Did you do it at the Stealership or did you have an indy do it? Who did it for you?

Thanks...think I'm going to stick with OEM though. I found the correct fluid for our tiptronic (G055005A2 or G060162A2) depending on transmission type. ECS tuning & bluaparts sell it among others. Didn't see any kits though so looked up the parts on audiwholesaleparts/ genuineaudiparts. This is what I've come up with so far as far as cost:
Fluid (G055005A2/G060162A2)- 35-50 x 10 = 350-500
Filler tool-14
Pan gasket- 35
Filter- 70
Filter gasket-22
Drain plug washer- 2
Total-493.00-643.00
Installation doesn't appear that difficult. Bentley is saying that you have to remove the crossbar under the pan, a section of exhaust, drain, take the pan off, clean pan & magnets, replace filter and pan gasket, and then just have to install the pan torx screws in the correct sequence and torque them to the right specs. Filling seems easy enough...just have to get the tranny at the right temp for the top off. Gonna go ahead and order and give it go.

Prior to that, a different dealer performed the chirping sound TSB and put in 8 units of G055162A2 - which are at $33.60.
Now I am even more confused on the quantity of fluid required in our tranny.

Buump on this... for those that have done this themselves what about the software update? I've found a couple of threads discussing the need to do this depending on what the original fluid was and what you're replacing it with (ie gold to blue).

Indy quote
I recieved a quote from my Indy shop for a transmission fluid change, they are quoting aprox $380 total. Quote included 9 quarts of fluid at $25/qt and about 2 hrs labor. This seems relatively inexpensive considering what I have seen others posted they paid.
