Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • DSG7 oil change

    I am changing, attempting, the DSG oil and filter. Removed filter, opened drain and plastic level insert and only got maybe 3 L out. Where the oil filter inserts the oil is not draining as in there is oil in the filter base. Shouldn’t this be draining down? 2012 Tiguan 155kw dsg7

        I’m am still wondering why the dsg oil, where the filter sits, did not drain down into the pan. Just as the engine oil drains down from the engine oil filter, wouldn’t this be the same?
