Brake Fluid Change with DSG


Recommended Posts

I assume that since the DSG box doesn't share brake fluid like the manual box does, to change the brake fluid I just need to do all bleed it through all 4 corners?

 

I assume the order is NS rear, FS rear, NS front, FS front?

Correct!

 

Make sure you use a pressure bleeder and not the brake pedal.

 

There's also a nipple on the side of the reservoir- which thinking about it I forgot to do when I did my fluid!

Yep I have an eezibleed :)

 

Did you activate a bleed though the ABS/ESP pump with vag com?

 

No. That's only required for a dry fill (like when replacing the pump).

Unfortunately not.

 

My weekend consisted of unpacking from holiday, tidying the bomb site that was once our house, wedding, hangover, laying on the sofa and then eating cheese and drinking wine!

 

I'm pretty sure I will have time on Sunday to do it.

Not had chance lately.

 

Been on holiday, going away again to Germany tonight and also got this mess to sort out now (thanks Mr Polish lorry driver!):

He was behind us so didn't catch the actual impact on cam but it does show that it wasn't us that swerved into him at least.

 

Hopefully we'll get it sorted soon after we get back from Germany (already reported and claim going through).

So I changed my fluid today. Didn't bother with the abs as I was short of time.

What a pain to get a spanner on the rear nipples to undo them. The suspension and handbrake mechanism is completely in the way!
