DSG 60k dealer service filter change?

[FMJ]

I'm just nearing this 60k milestone myself.

How much would one expect to pay on top of the 'standard' service ($975!!! According to website) for a DSG filter/ fluid change?

Appreciate you all sharing your knowledge and experiences

I had only the dsg serviced cost $ 540

DSG should be inclusive of that price, if you've selected the right vehicle.

The filter is an additional charge in this instance.

So the$975 should include a fluid change but not a filter change?

Filter should be $65~ plus labor? How much labor is involved?

I had only the dsg serviced cost $ 540

What did the service actually entail FMJ?
Did your 60k service cost you $975~ ?

Funny how when I bought the car it was "capped" price services and it was insinuated that it would be lower but if it actually needs more service items it would be "capped".

But now when I speak to the service department it always costs the max capped price! My first service had a whole page of work on the receipt..... yet when you look at the actual "work" all that was done was a oil and filter change and topped the wiper fluid up. Everything else was a "check".

Where can one buy a service/ workshop manual for the T6?

The prices for the services as per the schedule, are capped across the dealer network. To me, it doesn't imply that they're at a reduced price. It's just the same price, regardless of which VW dealer you go to.

It's worth going to the website, and seeing how much it'll set you back once you put your vehicle's information in.

Done my dsg service myself oil & filter $260 , (repco) it is a bit fiddly to get to filter, but doable, I did mine on my sloped drive way with ramps , & measured how much I drained then had funnel & hose back though filter chamber, bit slow , but now gear changes are way smoother. 2011 t5 2.0 diesel tdi340. 120k
