I changed out the Manual transaxle fluid at 1200 miles in my new Audi A4. VW/Audi G 055 532 is the specified manufacturer's fluid for replacement. This is for the latest series of A4. I don't know what other Audi/VW models this goes in. The overall shifting quality is mildly notchy but better with warm up and particularly better when outside temps at 95+ deg F. I was anticipating this was going to be sub 7.0 cst fluid, but was surprised. This was run at Blackstone labs.
