DSG and Automatic Transmission Repairs and servicing

[Automatics of Marion]

yes u need to remove sump, and change the filter, the filters seem to always have some debris on the screen, that way you will also extract about 70% of the old Fluid, We always connect the scan tool up to check for fault codes at the same time. Hope it all goes well for you.

As expected, filter was blocked up with crap, but nothing metallic, oil was filthy, sump plug was "welded" tight - in other words what has been said about VW style gearbox servicing. Because of the foregoing, they ran a sacrificial load of oil through to flush as much muck out as possible. Once finished, the box performed to spec & didn't throw up any nasty messages. Phew!

And on the positive side, they were carrying VW engine oil so they did a service as well.
