Wet Clutch DSG's have never had a no oil change or filter change guidelines or schedule if they have one in the UK or anyplace. Can you please clarify, was there a scheduled service for wet clutch Dsg in the uk or Europe? Thanks root toot for the service interval information 👍👍

I did my research on here and it would appear that it wasn’t been done in the uk. People had been told sealed for life units !! No filters …. On units; I read a thread on here where a guy replaced the filters and was surprised how accessible they were. As a ex Porsche cars technician then 30 years fast jet technician with experience in early failure detection and morphology. Mine will be changed on time and once out of warranty I’ll be doing it myself and filtering the old fluid then checking it with a magnet for obvious debris. What’s the code for the latest 7 speed box in the 1.5 Monte Carlo?

Hi it’s a Mk4 Monte Carlo Dsg, I had a Fabria scout Dsg diesel 184 before, that was a very nice car and surprisingly quick. The gear change is far better on the Fabria and pulling away from standstill is easier the Octavia could be tricky at times often resulting in kangarooing !! I drove my wife’s Kodiaq 2.0 diesel Dsg that had the 7 speed box and that was a nicer drive than my Octavia which had the 6 speed wet clutch box. I did quite a bit of research a few years ago before purchasing two Dsg vehicles, Octavia and Kodiaq and came to the conclusion that the sealed for life approach adopted at that time in the uk possibility responsible for many of the failures. Wet clutches produce debris as they wear, not replacing the filters or oil was ill advised. I believe this approach was not universally adopted and many countries serviced the gearboxes.

Apologies for the double picture post 😡.

Just collected my Monte Carlo yesterday, very happy so far. Traded in my Octavia Scout Dsg and the 7 speed box in the Fabria is far smoother. Read on here criticism of when it changes gear, this can be changed by choosing different driving modes just changed mine from sport to the middle one think it’s comfort.
