I believe the 7 speed DSG need the oil changing at 80,000 miles whereas the 6 speed DSG had it changed at 40,000 so you could wait until your car reaches 120,000 miles assuming you are in the UK of course.

Different 7 speed, the dry clutch one in his car has no schedule, though as he discovered, it is possible to do.

Hi Shy, interested to know where the 80K miles figure comes from?

I have the 7 speed, and have seen the Youtube vid on how to do it (looks straightforward), but not found anything on when/intervals...other than the normal 'sealed for life'.

The 80,000 miles comes from a particular 7 speed wet clutch DSG.  The DQ381

 

The DQ200 Twin dry clutch DSG has 2 oils, in the MCU and in the box, different oils.

There is no Service Schedule / Recommendations for changing.
