Hi,
Perhaps someone can help.
My dsg oil is due for a change. I quite a proficient DIY mechanic so would be confident doing this myself however i dont have VCDS which from watching some videos on youtube is required.
So i guess my question is has anyone changed the DSG oil without using VCDS to check the levels?
Myy understanding is that the rough procedure is as follows:
- Remove battery etx to gain access to filter
-Remove filter housing and old filter and replace new unit
- Remove dsg sump plug..drain
-remove snorkel bit....drain
-replace snorkel
-using the DSG refillitng tool fill roughtly 4.5l into the sump
-cycle dsg box through all gears
-Remove filling tube and allow any overfill of oil drip out
-refit sump plug and jobs done
I have also read you can drain the box then refill trhough the filter housing
Can anyone offer any advice?
