Have another doubt ...........

What kind of oil uses the gear-box (tiptronic)? It is an automatic gear box, or uses the Sae 50/90 oil like the manual gear box? Need some help , I am lost in this matter.......

Thank you all

Only use the Audi/VW transmission fluid. G-052-162-A2

...or VW TL 521 62

not oil! An oil is a lubricant while transmission fluids are used to transfer energy.

...according to Audi. Of course, we've pretty much decided here that "lifetime" means something around 70K miles (max), at which point the stuff is dead, dead, dead. HPH

Good point! Any fluid which takes such an ongoing beating will deteriorate with time.

Egil, your point is clear.
Then I assume "oil" is in the "front differential" (distributor gear) and is not sharing the AT fluid, even if they share the same crate or seems to me that they are sharing the same crate.....

handled properly." On the "lifetime" fluid! LOL!

Right, the front diff is separate from the auto tran. Front diff takes gear oil SAE 75W90.

Thank's, is clear now.
