Afternoon all.

Just had my gearbox serviced at the main dealer, where 2 people told me they're 'pretty sure' the filter gets changed during the service. But looking round the forum, I'm getting mixed messages as to whether this is the case or not.

 

 

Can someone give a definitive answer as to whether it should have been changed or not? 

Thanks

Did you not get an invoice with parts used, Fluid, new plugs/ seals, filter? 

ASK IF THE FILTER WAS REPLACED WHERE THE DSG WAS SERVICED.

 

Get the filter changed.  

VW Group / Skoda were the ones that showed not until the 2nd Oil Change Service.   That is a nonsense.  Messy job though doing the filter.

 

...............

Dq200,s are 7 Speed TwinDry clutch DSG,s.  No service Interval / Regime / Recommendations / Guidelines.  But the 2 Oils can be changed.

In the Box and in the MCU.

A 1.6 TDI FWD does not have a Wet Clutch DSG.

A Kodiaq with FWD & not AWD does not have a DQ200 DSG.

I did, but there's no filter listed on the parts list. That's why I thought I'd ask here first, as I'd expect to be fobbed off at the service desk.

I was arguing over a warranty claim when I picked the car up, so totally forgot to check up on the filter change while I was there

Official line from VAG is its lifetime but ignore that and change it. Here’s the parts list:

 

DSG DQ381 filter - 0GC325183D

DSG filter O ring - N91084501

DSG fluid (OEM G055529A2)

DSG bottom drain plug washer - N0438092

DSG mechatronic unit drain plug & captive washer -  N90965401

DSG filler adapter - vas6262a kit (or one of many other alternatives)

As expected, phone call back to the dealer and after a lengthy wait on hold, been told manufacturers recommendations have been followed and the filter only requires changing every other gearbox service 🤷🏼‍♂️

 

On a positive note, my warranty claim is being honoured. 

Something to do with the KESSY which apparently had shown faults during service diagnostics

I'm going down the same route as you currently. 

 

The official interval is 80k, but I want to get mine done now (40k). However, if I'm going to do it, I want the filter replaced, which the dealer won't do, even though I'm paying...

Strangely enough, when you book in online (at DM KEITH atleast) it does state the interval is 40k miles. But does say "filter changed as required"

That said I had a phone call a few days later from the service desk querying why I'd booked in as the interval is 80k 🤷🏼‍♂️

 

Anyways, I'd had a 2 year "all in" package that comes to an end in April, so I'll be looking round for a good independent as I've not been happy over all when I've used the main dealer
