need VW fluid advice (NAC)

[Dan Simoes]

Brake fluid, standard DOT4.  Use ATE Super Blue or Typ 200 if you can
get it.
Not sure which gear oil you're looking for but:

automatic tranny final drive, SAE 75w90, synthetic, VW G 052 145 A2, .75
liters (note - lifetime oil).
manual tranny same, 2 liters
automatic tranny - VW ATF, 3 liters for change, 5.3 liters on initial
fill
