Dexron or Mobil 1 ATF will work fine in an emergency.
Read Audi Junkie's post from last Nov.

I don't recommend a fill and flush unless it is comparable viscosity. There's a reason why
so many A4's had ruptured or seepage on the return line. It's because on the A4's, Audi installed twin line restrictors to keep the pressure on the rack high with the thin mineral fluid. Replacing with one of possible heavier viscosity means increasing pressure in the system and loading of the pump. Maybe to top it off, but I won't recommend as a full replacement.
Speaking of which, I can probably run regular ATF in mine since this line restrictor is one of my early mods. I've seen enough boiling pentosin at the race track, one of which I was following an A4 through a carousel when kapoof! Video caught all the smoke and me holding my wheel steady hoping not to hit or get hit by anything.
