My transmission guy says: years ago,  Audi published a service bulletin 
which states to overfill the transaxle by 1/2 quart.  (And, of 
course, to use synthetic lube.)  He also says that the transaxle in 
the 100/200 series is essentially the same as the old 5K series.  So 
calling him back for this message was rewarding - he specified 
overfilling by 1/2 quart, so now I know the quantity.
