Hi all, sorry for yet another gearbox oil thread!

So looking to do the gearbox oil and having read through most threads here and on other forums about the 6HP19 i'm still a little confused. Going by the vcds extract above I reckon my gearbox should have the 'optomised blue' fluid which I think is G 055 162 or ZF lifegaurd 6+. But my revision number 0010 is quite low so I'm not sure, maybe I have the original yellow fluid. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Also I was in with audi parts a few days ago and I priced up some gearbox oil and filter etc. He was trying to sell me G 060 162 which is the green fluid and it also said something about software on his screen. So I presume if I bought the fluid the dealer was trying to sell me I'd have to get them to do the software update?

I'd like to do the job myself and would like to avoid the dealer at all costs, They want €220 for the fliter and pan gasket and €55 per litre of fluid. Daylight robbery in my opinion, so I can only imagine what they want to actually do the job. I'm in Ireland and the choice of fluid sellers is fairly limited, ZF don't seem to have a seller here. I wouldn't mind ordering from the UK if someone has a good place to go to?

So in summary, can anyone advise what would be the best course of action for me, the only place I'm really stuck is what fluid do I need, and where to get it cheapest?

Car has 171k miles, any input appreciated!
