Grinding Gears on 2013 T5 DSG

[Sendo_VW_multivan_2010]

I spotted where the DSG filter is on the single turbo model and I would imagine its the same for both models , if you look over the back of the engine just to the left of the battery box you can see a large hex head nut thing which is the same as the engine oil filter cap . Not where your arrow is pointing further left .

Excellent, I’ll have a look. Thanks for the tip.Just bought car with no service history. Want to renew all fluids and Filters.

Thanks. With a similar noise from my 2013 T5 diesel DSG that I have tried to ignore for a couple of years, I finally read your post. I got my local VW service centre to see if there were any updates available; as a result the problem was solved , and I have a feeling that the gear change has improved.
BUT why did VW think that I should have to pay $165 just to get my gear box to operate the way it was meant to in the first place????
