• Audi A6 + RS6 (1997 - 2004) - Towing an automatic with no ATF 5 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  I thought it was simple but.......... I have a Y-reg Audi A6, 2.5TDI automatic. The car has done 140,000 miles and I decided to replace the Automatic Transmission Fluid. I drained it out (no problem) but then couldn't replace the fluid, (according to the workshop manual, Audi use a special piece of equipment, and when I attempted to fill it using the level-check hole the oil wouldn't stay in).
