I am going to anserw my own question for others that may have the same question
if you dont want to get riped off at dealer for the price of their fluid here is what i found. VW/ AUDI SPECS OUT G-052-025-A2 [U]NOT 71141 THAT WAS REFERED TO IN ANOTHER THREAD .
ROYAL PURPLE MAX ATF OR MOBIL ONE SYNTHETIC ATF are equal to and ane compatable with the audi fluids I hope this clears thins up for some of you with same question

I will only use Maxxus Brand ATf which is $10 at German Auto Parts and has been around for years for Audi and Vw. the Jury is still out in my opinion on Royal purple, I would not use it and Mobil 1 supposed to be ok but! I have heard of trannys Fail using mobil 1. and it's too early to tell on Royal. german Auto has filter fluid and gasket for $100, it is all I would recomend I have been using it since 96 on all my Audi's and Vw trannys that take the g052 when you are looking at the what if's of a $2k tranny replacement

Nice dig up OP. For tranny service kits, we have had fantastic results with Pentosin. We import the oil from Germany specifically for Audi and VW application. A transmission fluid change kit is available here with the gasket, all plugs and seals, filter and Pentosin oil required to complete the job. Pentosin has been a leader in European oil for years with proven results and success in VW and Audi applications.
