[V6-12v] ATF level

[Max Wellhouse]

Our old 94 100 Wagon had no dipstick either, and the dipstick from 
the dealer was a lot more than $20.  Can't remember if we kept that 
dipstick after we sold the car or not.



My guess is that Audi wanted you to take it to the dealer for ATF 
checking/flushing/changing.
