how hard is it to change the trans fluid on a quattro?

when you find out lemme know, mine is still original at 87k miles

manual, right? not very hard...two plugs(fill/drain), make sure you undo the fill plug first

Manual, pretty easy. Tiptronic is fairly complicated.

so theres only 2 plugs? I stfa and have seen someone say 4? yes its a manual
 

any special tips tricks anyone would care to share?

break the filler plug loose first...
 

and get a pump to pump the fluid up and into the tranny...

and wear rubber/latex/nitrile gloves as tranny fluid reeks and the smell doesn't readily wash off.

2nd. Make sure you can actually break the filler plug loose before draining. :oP
 

Then, I read somewhere on the intArweb that you can take an air hose to the bottle, and just pump air into the bottle...never mind.

I've got the pump if you need to borrow it.

Easy, I have the pump and tools. Gonna get some Redline for it?
 

Check my sig to see what I run.

Roger, what pump do you use? I have that cheap red tube shaped pump.
 

I was looking for something better. I hate that thing. Thanks

Here's what I've used... great for the price... there's better stuff out there, but this and...
 

an oil drain pan has done me no wrong...
