he said he just got some ps fluid for a newer A4 or A6.
He wasn't sure if it was the Pentosin 11S # G002000, that i'm supposed to use. He gave me a diffrent part number.
What do you say. I'm not even sure if the fluid that I got at home was the right Pentosin fluid either. I think it was green.

good. it's just a hair under the L mark. that might be what's making the noise at start up . . .
what if he has some other color pentosin fluid. Is it ok to mix? propbably not.
Is it ok to drive like that for about a week, maybe 400 mi. probably not again.

You should test that on the T44 Forum.Everyone there uses M1 ATF in Pentosin systems w/great results
If you look at the PS part numbers before and after the Pentosin changeover, they are the same. As well ask, how well is Pentosin working if all these peoples' systems die using it? I kow about the boatload of crusty racks already. I'm just saying, price aside, I'd use the M1. I have never heard oif a singke issue on a single brand of car using it...esp old T44s. Have you, since you mentioned how it'll kill a system. Can you cite somthing specific on that other than reciting the company line? Anything? At all? Hmmm?

BINGO got the green pentonsin, but holy indy shop experience . . .
when i get there I tell them I called and talked to Shawn, but Josh helps me out . . .
Bottle and color check out. He goes outside and i help him top it of. But when he wants to wipes the dipstick off with his sleeve of his sweatshirt.
I'm running to the back of the car for a clean paper towel, but it's too late. He "cleaned it" and it was on it's way back into the reservoir.
He replies :"Oh it's alright, I don't need a towel. I wipe everything with my sleeve."
In my mind I'm like: yeah it looks like you wipe everything with it everything they make yoy clean up.
I don't let him touch my dipstick anymore. He gives me some extra fluid about 6 oz and topped off reservoir for $3 dollars cash.
I can guess where those $3 went. But at least I got what I needed.
The shop is Wheel Works Import Specialist, in Dubuque, IA.
