The only other compatible fluid I know of is the Febi equivalent that GSF sell.
If you're not sure how old or what the fluid is in the system already, I recommend a full drain and flush. the wrong fluid is the most common cause of leaks and failure in the Audi hydraulic systems - you will be surprised how much ugly looking shit comes out  |
Fully agree about genuine stuff. Easiest thing to buy as volkswagen dealership should be in any town. Also agree about wrong fluid - someone has filled red synthetic oil in my PAS system in the past - well, it works, but some time ago when I was repairing something in winter @ -15c, after starting and instant maneuvering [I had to drive car out of the garage, turn around and drive in garage other way - all that without anything in cooling system] found out a little bit of PAS fluid on engine block. Sometime in future I'll change to green finally.
