DSG oil change

[Auzinsh]

I have 1.6FSI engine with DSG gearbox, need service on 60000km. I think it is necessary to change oil in DSG gearbox, but in service I was told that this box needs only check for a leak, and top up oil if level is too low.

Which way is right?

My DSG does need an oil change but because the VRS uses a wet clutch mechanism(s) which works in an oil bath. Your DSG uses a dry clutch I believe and therefore needs no change.

Are you sure your 1.6fsi has a DSG gearbox. Is it not just a conventional auto box ??

[Auzinsh]

I suppose it is DSG, so it was told by official Škoda dealer when bought. How can I check, what it really is?

[k.young]

DSG is only available on turbo petrols and diesels, in UK/Ireland. Does it say "DSG" on your shift lever ???

[Auzinsh]

No, there are only positions P,R,N,D,S and +-. Is the text "DSG" only visible difference between boxes?

I am from Latvia, and car is bought here. We don't have such a large Škoda forum, so I'm asking here.

It should have "DSG" embossed into the chrome plate on the top of your shift lever.

I think you might have a conventional "tiptronic" auto box. Completely different from a DSG.

It won't have a DSG. As said, it'll be a standard 6 speed tiptronic auto.

I have no idea on schedule of oil change, but if its anything like other modern torque converter auto's, it may be good for life.

Like this:

Mine will need doing in 10k and reckon on about £150.

As said if you haven't got DSG it won't need doing, just the level checking.
