Hi Guys,

Bought ATF from dealer but it came in VW bottle part numberG 055 540-A2

Is that normal its for the 8 Speed As in

Thank you

 

You know that VW owns Porsche, right?

Probably a compatible ATF from a central parts logistics center. It's not like Porsche refines it's own ATF Fluid.

 

yes, I just wanted to make sure that this fluid is acceptable as top up for 8 speed Aisin

thank u

 

I wanted to post a new thread about this but I found this one.

I would just like to confirm whether this is indeed true.

Is the PORSCHE ATF FLUID (95830054000) the exact same product as VW/AUDI ATF FLUID (G055540A2)?

If this is indeed true, this is a quite a mark-up just because you own a Porsche. And to do the Auto trans flush correctly, you will need 10 liters! So you can pay $750, or you can pay $250 for the same product.

Seems like it is not only dealerships doing it but also 3rd party European parts seller.

 

The funnier thing (from the description): "This fluid is a specially mixed formula for Porsche Tiptronic transmissions."

 

What mileage interval are you guys changing the ATF?.
Is anyone using the RAVENOL T-WS.

 

Since it's a sister forum (both owned by Internet Brands) - see:
