DSG Gearbox Oil change

[Transporter Guy]

Hello,

I have just bought a 2010 Transporter with a 7 spd DSG gearbox so I though I would get the drum on how to do things with this vehicle at this web site and of course anything I learn I will pass on as I go.

At the moment I am wanting to change the transmission fluid and I'd love to know the best way to do it. If anyone out there knows something about this I'd love to hear it.

Welcome...the 7speed in T5 is a wet clutch like the 6 speed in golfs etc....you need a special adapter for the base of the gearbox and a filler tool as you have to pump the oil in from below and drain off the excess with the engine running at a set gearbox temp that a VCDS tester is needed for ..VDUB..
