Owners of the DSG transmission, in any make or model. We encourage you to register your DSG here. Please add your transmission data in the following form. Add any comments you have to your original post - PLEASE, I am trying to keep this easy for people to scan. You can post information if its relevant to all owners. The data you put in your post should be related to, service, fluid changes, problems, and the resolutions. You can write about you personal experiences with the DSG. Please try to recruit other members to join also. We are some of the first to have F1 technology in our street car transmissions. In the end I believe this transmission will be a winner.
Thank You
WJ Dell

DSG fluid and filter maintenance parts needed
6 liters of DSG fluid part # G052182A2 "could be FUCHS"
1 DSG filter part # 02E305051B (now superceded by last letter C)
1 DSG filter seal part # N91084501
1 Gasket. Part # N 043 809 2.
Suggested tools
14 mm HEX for the drain/fill plug.
8 mm HEX for tube.
VAS 6262.
This tool could be substituted by buying a DSG drain plug and drilling it out. You can then insert a hose nipple into the plug threaded, or you could have it welded. I think the nipple should be the clamp type so the hose can easily be removed for the fill checking. The plug on the bottom of the DSG is 25 mm in diameter and has a 1.5 pitch. I suggest clear hose and many part stores have this. A clean pan to drain the DSG into. I say clean as a inspection of the drained fluid is a good idea as it may show signs of problems.
NOTE
Do not use funnels or hoses that have any other type of oil. Contamination! - The manual is specific about this. Additive contamination may be very harmful to your DSG. Periodic changes are smart and flushing is not reccomended because of contamination from other oil and additives.
Vag-Com is needed to get a running temperature of 35 to 45 C for refill. You could possibly use another means but I am not sure were you would put the test probe.
Its best to do this on a level hard surface. You need not remove the battery to perform the filter change. I think I would prefer to use 4 jack stands or two ramps and 2 jack stands. Keep the vehicle level, that will be critical for proper fill.
1. Remove the engine covers.
2. Disconnect the Mass Air Flow harness
3. Disconnect vent hose and air guide hose
4. Open spring clamp on air guide hose remove from tube
5. Remove filter housing
6. Remove the bottom engine cover
7. Place clean receptacle under DSG
8. Reaching under the battery unscrew filter housing and tilt slightly to empty
9. Remove filter and note is position suction collar is down
10. Remove o-ring seal
11. Install new o-ring seal with coating of fluid
12. Install new filter suction collar down and housing tighten to 15Nm to 20 Nm.
13. Install filter housing
14. Install Mass air Flow harness
15. Install air guide hose
16. Install vacuum hose
17. Connect air guide hose with spring clip
NOTE : There maybe one or two plugs depending on your production date. The rear drain plug and the front is the fill plug. If you have no drain plug than the Fill plug doubles as both. If you have only the one plug than you must remove the snorkel to drain. I suggest you catch all fluid in a clean container and measure !
18. After the fluid is completely drained replace snorkel, 3 Nm.
19. Attach VAS 6262 and pour 5.5 litres of fluid into DSG.
20. Using VAG-COM check DSG temperature.
21. Start engine - do not run engine when trans is empty !!
22. Depress brake select each position for min of 3 seconds. R-N-D-S moving selector to park and DO NOT SHUT OFF THE ENGINE.
23. After the DSG reaches the desired temperature disconnect hose from nipple or adapter coupler on VAS 6262 and allow excess to drain out. When there is only a drip promptly remove adapter and replace the check plug.
NOTE : There will be a cooling pulse every 30 seconds and this is not a indication of overfill. The system is actually idiot proof. It may be easier to cool the fluid before use. CHECK FOR LEAKS and remember clean is the WORD.

NOTE - Fuch's shows the DSG interval as 60k km or 48 months - I am sure that corrosion may be a issue, and a fluids abilty to resist this is depleted over time.
