RE: Pentosin 7.1 vs 11

["Ned Ritchie" <NED@IntendedAcceleration.com>]

Guys,

I agree with Linus!
Audi kept the same part number but went to the synthetic mineral oil.
Pentosin 11s is currently the correct replacement fluid for Audi's G 002

I overheard once "In an emergency water is better than Dextron or Pentosin
7.1, cause you can always get it out without ruining the seals."

your parts person must be talking to the same people my parts person
is...same story...somewhere around '90 or so, the spec went from 7.1 to 11.
 my understanding is that 11 is a synthetic version of the stuff;
incompatible, regardless.  i've also heard (on the quattro list) that
though audi changed fluids at that time, they did not change part numbers.
beyond that...your guess is as good as mine.
