That's very reassuring. I really appreciate your advice, thank you.

I might have answered my own question with this link: https://axleaddict.com/auto-repair/Common-Faults-in-the-7-Speed-DSG-Automatic-Transmission I now have an understanding of the reason why there's no oil. (Don't look at the Comments below if you want to get to sleep tonight...)

I don't get it. I thought all automatic transitions needed regular oil changes? Why not DSG? If the garage won't take our money, what's the catch? Is there risk of damage if they are opened up?

It's 7 speed, not sure what type, sorry.

I booked in my 63 plate Octavia (50,000 miles) for a service and asked for a DSG oil and filter but when I got there they said my DSG was zero maintenance. Is this correct? Plenty of independent garages are offering it. Advice would be very welcome! Thanks
