I am looking to see if anyone has the actual bulletin on the transmission hoot procedure that Audi has put out to fix the problem. I called two local Audi shops and they are not aware of it. I remember seeing the actual bulletin somehwere, but now I can not find it. Any help would be great.

The HOOT TSB coincidentally is located in the audi A6 2005+ model discussion. Someone just posted them a couple posts from the top of page 1.

The TSB has been updated as of 4/30/2010. It is 2013023/9.

My dealer found the TSB but wouldn't fix it under the Audi platinum plus warranty. They wanted $1150 for the transmission flush with the new fluid.

Blue ATF is $400 for 11 liters.

FYI, you can replace the original fluid (yellow ZF LifeGuard6 ATF) once and it will most likely get rid of the noise. They use to replace the ATF three times with the old yellow ATF to get rid of the noise, but most techs have seen it go away after one drain and refill. You had to drain it, fill it, drive it 20 miles, then repeat that procedure 2 more times. Afterwards, they came out with the newer ATF (blue, now green) and software to update the Mechatronics.

I had the TSB done on my car and it was replaced with the blue fluid. Paid a ridiculous $$$$ amount for it. But had to be done, and won't be flushing it again thank god.
