Don't ask .. it's done, now I have to refill it. Anyone point me to what fluid specs I need to get and the procedures to refill it. (98 1.8TQTip)

The line to abuse me forms to the right (well deserved)

you need a special tool to refill the ATF.Dealer has to do it.

a simple oil change turns out to be $$. I made a mistake and thought the pan (not hidden by the plastic ground effects) with the hex plug was the oil pan and drained it. I noticed that it only had about a quart or two and realized I was f****d. Just wanted to verify that there isn't any other way I could remedy this without limping over to the dealer. Thanks again.

Depending on the version installed, use either 3357 triple square socket driver or a 17 mm to loosen the oil filler plug.

Use 3357 triple square socket driver to loosen the oil drain plug.

WARNING! you must use only audi/vw automatic tranny fluid in your transmission! The stuff ain't cheap either, I just bought some for my S4, its about 19 bucks a quart! BTW you can do it yourself but you'll need something that can pump fluid up a tube. The filler is a goofy design were u remove a cover on the pan and stick a tube up into it and back down into the pan. think of it like a flexible straw. You could do it yourself if you wanted to, but you'll have to fill it until it starts oozing out from the filler, then drive it a little bit and recheck, The tranny is supposed to be at operating temp when you check it as well i believe?, check your bentley for info on that. Good luck and bummer about draining it, you'll probably need at least 3 bottles.
