Ok 83K on car, took to friends shop, VW did last DSG service. Intake removed, battery and tray, Yep filter is where it's said to be. Removed it, left out until refill completed. Used Petoin FFL-2 fluid. Could only put 4 liters in bottom feed with hose that fit thru stand off pipe. It showed (dripping)full by overflow. So put 14MM drain plug back in. Started car, cycled thru gears, rechecked drain plug removal, no dripping, so put in anther 3/4 liter. Rand again, cycled gears. Second time it was dripping heavy, not a solid stream but heavy dripping. Temp of trans..120*f so figured, filled casing/filter full, air purged from valves called it good! While there did engine oil change, Liqui-Moly toptech 4300 Syn 5/30, oil new filter. I will be getting adapter fill plug for next time. also did front sway bar links, been rattling for a while.
Put in 5> 5.5 liters trans fluid. Called it good! Fluid that came out was clean, filter also was clean. 40K services really critical? Input welcome.
