I've read the audipages several times already but had a few specific questions for those S8/Facelift A8 owners out there. Going to be attemtping this probably tomorrow, and have a few last minute nervous questions.

One thing it says is to run it through PRD432 Ect. Which of course, I only have PRNDS. Do I need it in "S" for 30 seconds as well, or is that just a "software" position ?

It mentions to do this twice, and then check it with Vag-Com. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

How much fluid does it push out when in reverse? Should I have a clean catch can just incase?


I'm trying to find a simplified post I read once on here which was roughly:

EDIT: Here:

This posts completely skips the gear changing, but goes along with monitoring fluid first. :)

* Do intial fill, start car, and fill until it starts coming back out.

* Monitor with Vag-Com until up to temperature.

* Run car through gears, and ensure that there is only a "slight" over-fill at the end of the cycle, and you are done.

Seems about the same. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, hate to screw up my beloved new child.
