'14 DSG Service ?

ejm4 · Apr 27, 2020

Recently purchased a 2014 with 21K on the odometer. VW dealer performed oil and fuel filter change before selling to me.

My question about the DSG service...

According to CarFax it appears the car was idle from 6/17 until my dealer purchased in January 2020. With only 21K miles should I hold off until 40k for the trans service or spend the money and have it completed now out of a preventive maintenance mindset?

You’ll likely be fine until 40k miles, especially if it sat idle for almost three years.

Just changed my DSG fluid on my ‘14 with 32,000 miles on it.
It was dirtier than I expected, not terrible, but I’m glad I did it!

Being 6 years old I figured it was time.

How many miles do you put on in a year?

I'd hold off on changing the fluid if I did 15-20K/year. Right now we're at DSG changes every 3 years.
