Taka was right (was ATF in PS rack on 4K series)

[Christo Atanasov]

Is it possible to get low pressure warning from check system, after change
from ATF to G002000 on Audi 100/200/5000
Two of my friends with typ44 Audi 100 said that they get this warning after
flushing and refilling with green stuf.
Also I know atleast two types of red ATF, which is proper for this
application?
