Guys, any ideas where to find online Canadian store or in Montreal a genuine Audi/VW CVT transmission's fluide #G052180A2;
Febi won't work.

this stuff is pretty cheap depending on how much you need. Its around $15 a liter. Just go to the dealer!

also why cant you use febi. Its fine to use but the OEM stuff is cheaper.

All right, I got it on VW dealer for 17$ plus tax for 1 liter;
I took 6 liters
Also got a required socket - 12-point (XZN-16 / "triple square"), on Ebay for ~20$ shipping included.
And changed ATF fluid last weekend, was really interested to see what is the old oil's condition - didn't find anything wrong.
But I was able to fill a box with only 4 liters of the fluid, any attempts to add more failed as fluid was going back .. I did measure it at around 45C.
Actually, first 3,5 liters went well, when it started coming back; I turned on engine and left it idle for 3 min, when switched to tiptronic and moved from 1 to 5 gear, back to R, back to D, engine off. 500ml more and it seems to be full.
When I measured old oil it appeared exactly 4 liters, so 4 out - 4 in.

So, guys, I have 2 liters left, one bottle is opened and one is as new - if somebody interested let me know; also I may provide a socket if somebody is going to change a fluid himself.

BTW, I don't know why Febi is wrong, at the end of the day, perhaps, it's exactly the same fluid, just in another bottle, but I prefer to use orifinal parts when possible; also it once for 60k and few backs difference is not critical, right?
