I'm just curious, but was wondering if anyone has ever had the DSG fluid serviced? My car is at the 90,000km mark, and I just want to prepare my wallet to make all the necessary maintenance changes.

How much does it cost, and how much fluid do I actually need? I'm thinking it's a good idea to change and just want to get a ballpark figure and general understanding of the cost of performing this kind of maintenance. I've checked ECSTuning and noticed they sell them in packs of 6 litres. Is this really how much your putting in?

Thanks!

I am doing my next weekend. I went to the dealer yesterdsay they charged me $25/L x 6 bottles and the filter is 30 bucks. I am going to do it myself so not sure how much they would charge to do it but its expensive enough just to get the oil.

I actually purchased this kit...

Audi A3 FWD 2.0T > Search > Dsg Kit > ES#5245 DSG Transmission Filter Kit - OEM DSG Fluid - ECSDSGFKIT

I'd do it myself, but don't have the tool to do so, and I'm not much of a MacGyver when it comes to trying to build one using bottle caps and pvc hoses.

I was quoted 100.00 to do the job, which I'm doing at the end of the month when I change my water pump, timing belt, and cleaning out my intakes as well. Hopefully she'll be good as new when I'm all done!

Was the shipping allot? Did you have to pay duties on it?
It comes out allot cheaper for the kit then what I got.

Well, I did order a few other things, which made it worth while to order from them. They also have a CanadaSaver option with shipping, so you don't get caught with extra duties and what not.

They were the cheapest I could find. I looked for one in Canada, but had no luck...

Thanks !!! I had a look and I needed other parts as well so it saved me 100 bucks.
