DSG Oil Filter

[Nick-C]

Hi, can anyone help.....searched the forum but haven’t found anything about people changing the Gearbox filter themselves. Just done a full service including timing belt and now I’ve nearly got to 40k I am looking to change the oil and filter. I know VW don’t change the filter, but for the little extra a filter costs, why wouldn’t you? ( you would never change the engine oil. Without doing a filter) so my question is,
Does the gearbox self prime, if I change the filter, and does anyone know how much more oil it will take?
has anybody found a reasonably priced filling pipe?

Cheers Guys & Girls

I've just had my dsg oil and filter done at vw Northampton and paid £203. Job sheet is oil and filter change.

I did the DSG oil change and filter change with no problems using the information in that thread. There are also some YouTube videos on the procedure for various DSG boxes which can give you an idea of what to expect from the oil level setting procedure.
