Hi all,

Been reading loads on here and you turn regarding Dsg oil change. Seems fairly simple…

I was pondering the following-

Level car

Empty at bottom

Fill up at top (roughly about right)

Get temp to 40 degrees

Open plug to release excess

Done

What are your thoughts?

Or di it as I have commented in the DIY guide for DSG change :-)

Use the fill hose system from ebay you found and fill from bottom drain plug. That will give best result and is also as stated in VW/Skoda repair manual for a DQ250 DSG.

After initial 6ltr fill (car not running), keep hose connected. Start engine and run through all gears for 10 sec each until DSG oil temp is approx close to 40 degrees celsius. Unscrew hose from drain plug and let it flow steady until it starts to pulsate fluid out. Thats when correct level is reached, so plug immediately.

If dsg oil at correct temp does not have a steady flow first time you remove hose from drain hole), it means there is to low amount of fluid inside dsg, so just connect a new bottle and overfill while engine running and then remove hose and wait for the dsg oil stops flowing at a steady rate and pulsate fluid out, thats when you have correct amount :-)

Thanks for the advice
