"Hydraulic" revisited

[Robert Phillips <r3rfp@dax.cc.uakron.edu>]

Thanks for all of the stuff on hydraulic fluid.  I think some people 
might have misunderstood, so here's some notes:

1.  I know all 5000 series take Pentosin(I think all 5-cylinder systems)

2.  I know there is a difference between this and the ATF systems

3.  I know the difference between "hydraulic" and "power steering" fluid

What the post was asking was:
Since I have a cross-breed (mutt?) of a VW and an Audi, which fluid 
"should" my car use?  I cannot determine what's in it, and I don't trust 
what the previous owner may or may not have used.  I have the Haynes, the 
Bentley manuals, but can't seem to determine what I should use. 

The Redline sounds very good, if it's compatable (Should be Jeff)

If I *need* to use the Pentosin, I'll buy it.  I know what it is, and I 
have some right now.  It's just that I've heard *very* bad things about 
putting ATF where Pentosin should be, and I would assume that to put 
Pentosin where ATF should be would be just as "bad".

	Thanks all, but I just got a bit confused,
