What gear box oil do i need to use on my audi a3 1.6 1998?

the service manual or glove box manual covers that.
do not guess, ever. or BOOM a wrecked box.
no country told at all
take my jeep <USA, has MB NAG1 AT box.
it uses ATP +4 but in 2 color codes one for USA and other for Europe
this is because they run different programming here for Amercian's that hate crisp shifting, but guess what they can not be mixed.
the 2 colored ATF codes fluid. and used wrong TCM goes mad.

see how tricky this is. end also voids the warranty doing it wrong.
and how risky this is asking the open world forum what to use?
then getting wrong answer from wrong country.????
I guess your book in the glove box is now LOST>?
why not ask your local dealer this or get the book from them for your exact car. and not guess, or be told wrong, texting the blind.
OURS:
in the USA the Audi dealer here, to get the free 2008 guide
you must tell them the VIN so they don't lie to you, same with all car parts too.
rule 2 do not overfill the box or get doom.
only done hot, in park at idle, not like any engine
if too full it foams up and bearings starve,
USA answer, A6 non quattro.
our engine is 3.2L /trans is below.
Audi's Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is called multitronic.
real name CVT and for sure uses special fluid.
VL300 TO VL381 3 BOXES, USA.
OUR SERVICE MANUAL STATES
we also know this Fluid gets dirty fast and needs service often. on CVT.


ATF for Multitronic 01J ,BONE DRY FILL IS 7.5LITER HERE.
NOTES
Danger of causing damage to the transmission.
The continuously variable automatic transmission multitronic 01J requires a different ATF than shift automatics. Use only ATF available as a replacement part for the multitronic 01J in the continuously variable transmission.
Danger of causing damage to the transmission.

1. The multitronic 01J and 0AN transmission require different axle oil depending on the condition. Only axle oil for Multitronic which can be obtained as a replacement part must be used in front final drive. Only use gear oil that is assigned to the transmission code, refer to the Parts Catalog.
2. Mixing gear oil and other oils even in small amounts can damage the transmission components.

Check the gear box oil level sounds low to me i had a similar problem with a auto box car before and as for your steering it could be a worn steering rack if the oil level is good

if you mean dipstick for gear box, there is none for audi A6.
you can check the oil level underneath.and can find the vertical tube.
this tube is the level checker of the oil.

Make sure you have sufficient gear oil (ATF) in the transmission, an Auto box uses oil pressure to shift gears. Often after the trasnsission has been removed and re fitted it will work out all the air within the first test drive thus the oil level drops too low to shift gears.

Its your body valve in the gear box which is not letting the pump on forward gears pump enough oil to the forward band and because the band isent tight it is slipping..
Now it could be the oil in box and if you take off the auto pan and clean out the filter on the pick up and refill with DEXTRON II TRANS FLUID then you should be ok as long as it hasent slipped to much .
Let me know how you get on . RON

Drain samples out of each gear box. That will give you some answers. Any meal is not good. Best of luck, Ned

tandard practice to change the oil on a clutch replacement. Was the replacemmiles it's covered, but it's not sounds like the gearbox oil need changing. You don't say how many miles it has done. Gear box oil is not usually changed in a clutch replacement. Did an Audi garage carry out the rlacement? It could be the cable needs adjusting to allow the clutch to have free movement

if the audi can't solve it, ship the car to me. i wil solve it.

hi the oil filler is on the side remove the plug fill gear box till the oil runs just runs out of the hole put plug in
