How to properly maintain the transmission fluid in an Audi 80?

I've noticed my Audi 80's transmission has been acting up lately, and I suspect it may be due to old or contaminated transmission fluid. How often should I change the fluid and what type of fluid should I use?

According to Audi's maintenance schedule, it is recommended to have the transmission fluid in the Audi 80 changed every 30,000 miles. As for the type of fluid to use, it is best to stick with the manufacturer's recommended fluid type for optimal performance and longevity of the transmission.

Using the wrong type of transmission fluid can cause serious damage to your Audi 80's transmission. It is important to consult your owner's manual or a certified mechanic to determine the correct type of fluid for your specific year and model.

In addition to regularly changing the transmission fluid, it is also important to check for any leaks or signs of contamination. Keep an eye out for things like metal shavings or a burnt smell which could indicate larger transmission issues.
