Tomas, beware, the ATF level is part of the sacred Audi trust and fully 
protected by the Audi gods!  If you are quiet about it, perhaps you can
check it 
without offending them. 

 I purchased the special service tool (dipstick) from Aussenmacher only
to 
find out it was a regular Audi/VW part.  It's part # 018-321-431-D.
Perhaps you 
can order it from an Audi or VW dealer.  Apparently, you can damage the 
transmission if you overfill it so check the level only when the trans
is fully 
warmed up (like after a good freeway drive) and check it with the engine
running. 
 Add small amounts of fluid until the dipstick reads full.

("Real" instructions are in the maintenance booklet (not owners manual
or 
service manual)
