Default Where I put transmission oil?

It's look stupid but I can't find where I fill up transmission oil?
98, A4, 1,8T, Quattro, AEB and automatic transmission. I don't know where I can find either the exact model for the transmission.

Thank you

You need VAG-COM and some sort hand pump, as well as the right fluid. Check the tech section.

You need a 17mm allen wrench to open the fill plug under the car. and as 4driver4 said you will need a vag-com to check trans temp.
With that said when I did the work on mine, a 1" hose, loosen the upper trans cooler line and you can fill up the trans a whole lot easier than using the pump under the car.
Check this, yes it is for an A8 bu the same except for the exhaust.

Default is there another way?

Once you drain the fluid and drop the plan and replace the filter.. is there any other way to fill the fluid back other than pumping it??

You could run a long hose up through the engine compartment and attach a funnel to it...or you could roll the car over on the roof and just pour it in.

A pump costs less than $10 at your FLAPS.
