Anyone used auto-rx in a 2000 or later Audi tiptronic ZF transmission? If so any problems?
I'm going to change the atf on my A4 with 93K miles and am considering doing a auto-rx clean since my independent Audi tech said he'd seen some tiptronics with sludge.

they cling to the magnets in the pan. Do NOT use anyhing but the specific ATF in your car.

> Drop the pan and look inside. If you see any sludge, drain and refill a few times.
Yep that's what I plan to do and will use either Audi ATF or Pentosin ATF1 but leaning heavily toward the Audi ATF.
