Change the oil in Audi A4: The manual calls for a 5w-40 oil which you probably wont be able to find. A 5w-30 or 10w-40 is acceptable if your climate stays above 0 degrees F. There is a skid plate under the front of the vehicle which will block your access to the drain plug. It can be removed with a flat head screwdriver. I believe there are about 9 screws holding it in place. Once it is removed, set it aside and remove the drain plug from the oil pan. Allow to drian. The oil filter can be accessed from above. Use oil filter wrench or your bare hand kung-fu grip to remove the filter. MAKE SURE THE GASKET (rubber ring) FROM THE OLD FILTER COMES OFF! If the old gasket stays on, it will leak. Use your finger to put a little oil on the gasket of the new filter, screw into place 1/4 to 1/2 turn past hand tight. Inspect the gasket on the drain plug and replace in oil pan. Pour in new oil according to the manuals directions based on your engine size. I think mine was 5 quarts. Start the engine and check for leaks from the oil filter and drain plug. Replace the skid plate. It is a lot easier to deal with the skid plate if you can get under the car comfortably.

How to check & change oil in automatic transmission on 2001 Audi A4 1.8L
At the bottom of the automatic gearbox (Tiptronic) you will find 2 threaded plugs on below surface. First (in front of the car) is for emptying, and second is for filling up. Tightening torque is 24 Nm for drain plug, respective 80 Nm for filler plug.
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) checking: 1. Requirements for check: 1.1. Vehicle standing on level surface. 1.2. Transmission must not be in fail-safe mode. 1.3. Shift lever in "P" position, parking brake applied. 1.4. Engine idling. 1.5. Air Conditioner and heater OFF. 1.6. ATF temperature must not exceed 104 Fahrenheit degree (40 Celsius degree) at start of test. 1.7. Only ATF with designation ESSO LT 71 141 may be used. Do not use any lubricant additives. 1.8. Automatic Transmission Fluid ATF - part number: G 052 162 A2 (1 liter wrapping) 1.9. An ATF level check when transmission oil temperature is too low results in overfilling, when too high results in underfilling. 2. CAUTION: Too much or too little ATF will affect the operation of the transmission. The ATF level must be checked at regular intervals. 3. The oil level is correct if a slight amount of oil runs out when ATF temperature is between 86 Fahrenheit degree (30 Celsius degree) and 113 F deg (45 C deg) (caused by increase of oil level when heated). For warmer climates, 122 F deg (50 C deg). 4. Hang filled ATF reservoir VAG 1924 as high as possible. 5. Shift lever in "P" position, engine running at idle. 6. Place oil drip pan under transmission oil pan. 7. Remove ATF filler plug (at the bottom of the automatic gearbox you will find 2 threaded plugs on below surface. First (in front of the car) is for emptying, and second is for filling up. 8. With ATF temperature between 86 Fahrenheit degree (30 Celsius degree) and 113 F deg (45 C deg), for warmer climates, 122 F deg (50 C deg), a slight amount of oil will flow from filler hole when ATF level is correct. 9. If necessary drain or top off ATF to attain correct oil level. Top ATF with filler hook from VAG 1924 ATF reservoir. Insert VAG 1924 (tool) ATF reservoir filler hook into filler hole and top off until a slight amount of oil flows from filler hole. NOTE: Fit filler hook into one of the oil deflector cap slots placed on the filler opening. CAUTION: Do not press filler hook upward or oil deflector cap can be pushed off. 10. Reinstall ATF filler plug. Tightening torque is 80 Nm.
the best oil is the cheapest and change it every 6000miles with a oil filter every third oil change ,the cheapest turbo diesel /petrol oil you can buy is plenty good enough and supermarket could be cheapest place to buy it from
you have a worn turbo bearing.I would get a replacment turbo before you do any damage.When you start the engine the bearings in the turbo are dry of oil.Has you start the engine the oil will reach the bearings and the noise will apear to go away.
you might have a clogged oil line(s) to the turbo not allowing sufficient oil flow to the turbo remove the lines clean with carb cleaner clean the inside of the turbo be sure to scrape off burnt oil....change your oil and see if that works
you cant check the Transmisson oil by yourself it is located under the vehicle. you will need a hoist to lift it up and then go by the transmission and check it there.
try to check your transmission if it needs some replacement parts or you may try having a transmission fuel change to ease up the driving. hope this helps
the information is from the air sencoir onthe cat see exhaust. if you have a turbo .check hose from turbo to intercooler and clean check hose from intercooler to inlet manafold and clean if oil water mix found clean and check intercooler you may find oil and water mix
VERY POSSIBLE THAT IT IS ONE OF THE TURBOS THAT IS GOING OUT. WILL HAPPEN IF POOR OIL SERVICE. ALSO CHANGE YOUR OIL WITH A SLIGHTLY THICKER OIL IF OVER 80,000. I OWN A 01 2.7T WITH 89,000 AND USE ROYAL PURPLE SYNTHETIC 20W-50
