Hi all I have a2020 superb dsg 2.0ltr can’t get no right answer from dealership they saying my gearbox doesn’t need a service because it’s a dry box or something but would need it at 80k because it’s a taxi can anyone help thanks 

They are wrong whoever they are and what ever their job is.  It is not a dry box. 

 

There are no 2.0 TSI's or TDI's with a DQ200 7 speed Twin Dry Clutch DSG.   

There is DSG's that have a 80,000 recommended oil change rather than the 40,000.   

BUT,

People are still getting them done at 40,000 miles.

 

Re DQ200 DSG's,

They are on cars with FWD and no more than 250Nm. 

So that is the likes of 1.0,1.2,1.4,1.5,1.8TSI;s or 1.2,1.4 or 1.6 TDI's.

Ok thanks you I have a Skoda specialist coming out in morning due to having a oil senser workshop light coming on I’ll ask him to check what mine is thank you 

What engine/drivetrain is in your car........you won't need a specialist to tell you what gearbox it has.

The post says a 2020 DSG 2.0 ltr.

 

A specialist is not required to know that has a Wet Clutch DSG that requires OIl changes as the Dry Clutch DSG's are not fitted to 2.0 TSI or TDI's.

 

The issue is that finding a Specialist or even someone with a knowledge of Skoda's at a Skoda Main Dealership is a lottery.

It’s a2.0ltrs dsg 2020 se model that’s all I know 

Please tell the Dealer Principal that there are staff that can be telling customers the wrong information on servicing.  That can void a warranty.   They are quick to try up-selling but should be actually trained on what is the vehicles recommended service requirements. 

Is it still the case that 6 speed is wet and 7 speed is dry?

No. There are no 6 speed dry boxes but there are 7 speed boxes both wet and dry. Read roots message above for engines with each box type.

 

Dq200 is dry and fitted to lower torque cars and have 7 forward gears.

All others are wet regardless of gear number.

 

Dry box has no official service recommended but can be done. Dq250 is 40k miles. Some other boxes (7sp wet?) Are 80k but won't hurt doing it sooner.

I have an IV with 6 speeds, where would I find out what type of box it is? 

That's a dq400 I think. It's a derivative of dq250 so wet clutch 6sp. It also has an extra clutch for the electric motor hence the change in model number.

This is right iV is a DQ400e (guess what the e stands for)

40k fluids on those too

Many thanks for that guys. I presume the 40k is miles.
