I'm a newbie to the forum but have a query I'm hoping you'll be able to help me with.
I recently purchased a 2016 B9 Quattro Automatic with the DSG 7 speed gearbox. It's an ex lease car so it has high mileage (90,000).
I have the car in with an Indy mechanic (I've asked for all filters and oils to be changed).
I also enquired re the gearbox servicing. He hasn't the tools to service it so had to bring it to his local gearbox specialist. The specialist in question is looking to change 2 filters and the fluid.
What I want to know is - is this actually safe and the recommended? He'll have to open the gearbox to replace these and I'm really worried as I believe this is a sealed unit and could impact the gearbox in the longer term.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
