    In a word, 'no' it must be mineral and of the correct grade. Must conform to VAG 002000 at the very least but I wouldn't use anything other than the correct 004000 from Audi.

        'Should' be OK then, I'm surprised as I thought the only suitable fluids were mineral based. It's probably fine if you just use that, not sure I'd want to risk mixing it with what's in there though.
