I believe there is only one way.

And it is under the car. You have to do it at certain transmission temperature (35-45 C). And fill it until it overflows. Check audipages.com for more detail.

CMIIW, but I thought you could do it through certain hoses.

Not on yours, 97'-99' only.

You don't say... on a 97-99?

I've never read that procedure, can you point me in the right direction?

That is not really a procedure. You can add fluid trough the breather hose, but....

it will go very slowly and you still need to check the level. So it is possible, but almost just theoretically.

I'll give you hand...

if you have the VAG tool. I did mine with a funnel and long hose for the first couple of liters. Easier than pumping. I have a little manual pump and a spare liter of fluid for the last bit.
