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,

  • Weeping from the DSG case

    I asked an independent DSG specialist regarding that and he advised me that a weeping from the DSG case indicates on of the following:


    - higher transmission fluid pressure casued by incorreclty filled DSG or
    - mechatronics unit on the way out


    He has also mentioned that a leak from the top DSG filter could be indication of either. I had a little of that happening but it has since stopped. As far as the DSG fluid replacement goes I was present during the transmission fill (by another mechanic) about 6 months ago. I know that he filled 5 litres then observing the correct fluid temp. drained the case so it can be overfilled. I guess I haven't got the "usual" mechatronic failure symptoms either?

    Before the weep I had some slight issues (with the DSG) happening at gearing down, before stopping and DSG adaptation was
    performed. The weep from the DSG was then observed a couple month later during a routine engine oil change but that could just be a pure coincidence. Could the adaption have somehow have caused the weep? Ahh, and the DSG adaptation failed at (can't remember exactly) module 62? Any thoughts?
