Default Audi cars do not like that stuff at all. Do a search and see what you find...

Manual = bad Tip/CVT = no problem. It's the manual clutch cylinder that suffers.

I used it for a bit without difficulty before I heard it could cause clutch problems, but I stopped.

Default I use the Stupid Blue but without the Blue

Called ATE Type 200.

I used the Stupid Blue once on a Porsche of mine. Danged stuff stained everything it touched - my brake bleeding hoses, my bleeder unit, my garage floor, my rags, my clothes, my shoes, my hands, ..... (etc.). Type 200 is the same compound without the stupid blue dye.

For info, this is in a '98 A4 Avant with 94K miles. NO brake or clutch cylinder problems.
