[V6-12v] ATF level

[David Torrey]

I still have my dipstick.  I paid $20.00 for it in
1996 from the Audi dealer.  There are temperature
markings on the dipstick indicating where the level
should be when at operating temperature.  I could take
length measurements if anyone wanted to make their
own.
