Just getting your opinion. I was shocked at first when my Co-worker
said she had VW's 80K service done at Firestone. She has a 2007 Jetta
gas engine, DAG. As bad as VW dealers can screw maintenance up, I
thought why not Firestone.
I have done two DSG services. If I can do it why not. Of course I am anal
and spend way too much time with the details, but it's a hobby for me.
You need a Ross Tech cable to measure trans temp, but many people on
these here forums have used different methods (infrared Temp or volume
method) to add fluid. It's not rocket science. The odd part is the stand
pipe and shoving fluid up and in the bottom of the transmission. Love the
Germans, let's make it hard to discourage people from doing it their selves?
You need the tool, which is no big deal for a Professional mechanic to buy.
Maybe the shop had one or they used the fill from filter method?
I am suspicious, so I told them to check their paperwork and see what
they charged, and assure they bought VW fluids and filter (Mann or what
ever brand). COMMENTS?
