Stock VW/Audi fluid.  Amsoil also makes a GL5 that IS compatible with  
VW, Porsche, and Audi transmissions.

If you consider any GL5 rated fluid, triple check with the  
manufacturer that it is compatible with VW/Audi transmissions and is  
brass syncro safe.  It used to be that all GL5 fluids were NOT, and  
now several (including Amsoil) are; an additive that was in use to  
help meet GL5 specs would destroy anything brass in very short order.
