How To Perform a MK7.5 DSG Service PROPERLY ~ Fluid and Filter 7SP DSG
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июн 2024
- A MK7 MK7.5 DSG service can cost up to $500. In this video I will show you how to service a 7sp VW/Audi DSG transmission. The 7SP DSG is due at 80,000 miles, and does not require a DSG Filter change. We will be doing a DSG service on my MK7.5 Golf R, Draining DSG Fluid, Replacing DSG Filter, Filling DSG transmission and Setting DSG Fluid level. #humblemechanic #DIY

What other service do we need to do on the MK7.5?
Bevel box. It would be interesting to see the condition of the fluid on a non-service item.
That differential fluid change for one, and then a 10 minute road test with you showing how this performs.
Blinker fluid change. ;-)
Performance pack service on GTI
have you changed the coolant yet? my mk7.5 R's coolant is starting to look a little brown at 35k
I remember when I worked at a VW dealer as a service porter and one of the techs took me under his wing and supervised me when I did my DSG service. It’s moments like this because it seemed daunting to me as someone who had little no experience with a job like this. Your teaching and methods heavily remind me of that moment lol. Good job Charles!
I have a 6sp Alltrack so I’m not sure why I watched this but none the less I did and it was very informative! Thanks for the videos, keep them coming! I did go with Integrated Engineering stage one tune because of your videos so that’s a plus.
ayo props to actually telling people what tools to use, that's a great start, this service isn't too hard except for that damn filter placement
Nice job! Used your turbo elbow vid last week, worked a treat! Thank you! Have a great Christmas.
I changed my dsg oil at 32000 miles it wasn’t golden that’s for sure, 6 months holding 622nm I’m not surprised another 2000 miles and I will do it again.great video as per usual 👍
I just left the Subaru clan and joined the Audi/VW family. I just bought a beautiful and well maintained 2017 Audi A3 Quattro premium. Been watching this channel for a while now. Glad lots of things on here will actually apply to me now
Damn you fucked up
Bless your soul, the ones on youtube are so old, and the one of you with shopdap is also pretty old and not on a GTI, i'm coming up on 40k very soon so thank you thank you.
LOVE THIS ! going to try this method of the filter removal on mine this weekend! hopefully saves me lots of time thanks guys!
Thanks so much for making this video, you are excellent at these instructional videos!
Excellent description. Just had my Skoda Octavia 6 speed DSG serviced with 7Lt of oil for a cost of $(NZ)475 at a trans service centre as opposed to $(NZ)762 at the agent.
Excellent step by step on the DSG servicing good sir. I'll be sure to follow along at 80k miles.
Fantastic video as always Charles! It’s a Great help 👌🏼
WOW !
Fluid that came out looks brand new...
Informative and entertaining, Happy Holidays!
That DST fluid was actually shockingly clean, the filter was doing a damn fine job keeping things clean.
Another amazing mechanic!
Great job Charles, Thank You, Merry Christmas to You and Yours👍🙂🌲
Great Tutorial Charles.
Thanks Charles, I tackled the job via gravity and it worked well. The fluid looked fine at 45K, and I did notice a slight shift improvement with the new fluid.
Awesome
Thanks for all the info. That's a sweet ride.
Nice! That’s a job halfway done, now it’s time to pull the gearbox out and change the main filter, also clean the magnets from iron filings..
Thank you for a very clear and concise instructional video without any showboating or bs. Have you made a DSG service for the older 6 speed? E.g. Skoda Octavia Scout/RS. I hope you have!
I've taken out oil filters that style and found the detached base of another previous filter more than once
Thanks for the video, great as always! Any chance of you doing a demonstration of this on anything with the 8 speed Aisin? There seems to be some conflicting information on how to do those.
awesome tutorial thank you very much.
damn best automatic transmission i've ever drive. Classic AT not even close by emotions.
upload just the day before I do my DSG service. thanks :p
Perfect
So important to change this even on mercs so many dont shame
Excelent quality and clear information video!, my question real quick is, i have a cc v6 4motion, does this dsg has mechatronic drain plug aswell? or only 7speed one? i wanna do a complete flush and change for original oil, now has an alternative one, thanks!
Thank you for the video.
Good video man
Thanks Charles!!
Hey can you make a video about symptoms of failing DMF on a DSG specifically
Thanks my dude, 7 speed RAT dsg 2016 S3 in the UK here I'm going to do my haldex and dsg thanks for the info! I'm on 45K miles
AWESOME!
Make sure you get the correct oil, the 7 speed box has different oil to the older DSG boxes.
@humblemechanic
This was a great video. Could you do one for the VW subframe mount and valve gasket?
Hello Charles
How important is it to keep your car perfectly level when changing the DSG fluid?
I ask this because I checked the oil level in my DQ381 DSG. I watched the ramp lifting my car and I noticed the car dipped a bit at the front, as it’s heavier than the rear of the car I suppose?
Should I set the lifting pads higher at the front to what they are at the rear to counteract the nose heaviness?
Thank you for your advice.
I didn’t have all those extensions so I took out the turbo inlet pipe and was able to get it that way
Hello Charles.
Just a question the last drain plug to get rid of the excess fluid. Is with the car running ??? Thanks Charles awesome info!
If your only option is to do this on you back. The filter can be accessed from above to avoid getting a shower of DCT fluid. The battery box needs to come out to gain access to the filter housing. I also removed the 2, 13MM bolts from the gear selector cable so it could be moved out of the way. Then a 24MM wrench can get in to loosen the filter housing.
Does not look like a pro if he's surprised! :D But rly its nice video with a lot of work. Thanks
Great guide. Is there a guide on doing the mechatronics/gearbox adaption reset for the 7.5 models? I believe it isnt the same as the normal 7.
🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
Excellent instructions
Great advive
😊
Really enjoyed this even though i have a manual six speed 🤣
Thank you sir!
Hey! Excellent video. I want to ask to you something weird about DSG transmission. I have a VW CC TDI, DSG 6. And it took long (25min in winter) to get the right service temperature, so i changed the thermostat... it improved the time it takes to heat up into the service temperature but still it takes too long(17 minutes), and when going down a mountain/cliff for a couple of minutes the temperature needle goes down easily. So, it is not only the typical thermostat and by checking and sacanning it seems everything to be OK.
Reading in forums i found out that there is a "DSG thermostat" failure that causes this to happen, retarding the normal temperature. Do you know where is that "DSG Thermostat" installed?
Great video. Thanks for posting Charles. I assume same procedure applies to the A3 DSG?
Yep as long as it’s 7sp. S3 probably too
Why is there a heat shield on the filter housing? To help keep the plastic housing from deteriorating? I noted the newer cars have a gold colored shield. Do you think a metal filter housing would need a heat shield?
nice video!
Thanks for the video, I have a 2016 TTS and ordered a DSG kit and it only came with 5 liters, do you think that is enough?
Good info
Hello Charles
Are you going to do a bevel box service?
I would be very interested in you doing this service.
4:23 Nice Hazet socket!!!
Their stuff is great. $$$$$ but great
But Charles.... Oily parts doesn't rust... Well. Rust is a big and common annoyance here in northern Europe... 😄 Merry Christmas ...
Hi Charles, I installed same Alltrack under engine belly cover in my 2018 gti and noticing the engine is running 4 degrees hotter in summer. Have you experienced or observed same increased in temp.? Thanks
Notification squad!🔥🔥🔥
YASSS
Do the 6 and 7 speed dsg use the same drain plug? I made my own fill tool for the dq250 so that’s why I’m curious
If i replace the transmission and mecha do i have to fill the mecha box or will the fluid make its way into it?
$70 bucks for that gravity oil filler is criminal
Thanks for the video. I'll need it in a few years :D
Hey man. Do you mind doing a “informative” type video. Basically saying why you should check your oil regularly . Even if a new car etc
How about a video on how to change the DSG, and differentials fluid on a 2018 MK2 Tiguan. I would like to do it on mine even if it has very few miles, last Tiguan had a Haldex failure with 20000KM (12-13000miles). Don't want the DSG, differentials or Haldex failing prematurely.
Hi, I just did oil service on my dq381 mechanic said he filled only 5 liters of oil and check the level was ok how is that possible? Didnt drain the oil from mechatronic bolt maybe??? Help
any reason why you wouldn't be able to gravity fill the dsg from the filter housing?
Nice video Charles. It's worth noting that the DQ380 and DQ381 use a different type of DSG oil and that the standard oil isn't suitable as the 38x boxes are new "high efficiency" gearboxes. The standard DSG oil is G052182A2, and the DQ38x is G055529A2 which you're using :)
Something like Liqui Moly 8100 carries both approvals. I just ordered a few bottles of it for my ‘18 A4 that is coming due for a fluid change soon.
It is pretty tricky, actually a large portion(around 30%) of all DQ381 use the old G 052 182 A2 fluid instead of the new one, but you would most probably not see any of them in your entire career. These special DQ381 have a different codename as 0DW.
The G 052 182 A2 is actually fuchs FFL-2, and the G 055 529 A2 is fuchs FFL-52529
@@oijhhytdirhrbru Hello there, buddy! Are you sure that Fuchs ( Titan ) is manufacturing the oil for VW listed as G 055 529 A2 ? I ask because I need to do the oil change in my DQ381 soon and I will rather get the Fuchs listed as 40% the price of the VW oil.
@@topalamadalin7694 Yes, I'm sure FFL52529 made by Fuchs is the G055529A2 DCT transmission fluid.
And you don't need to worry about the 0dw variant, it is never equipped in your market.
@@oijhhytdirhrbru that's awesome, thank you ! I have the 0GC DQ381 which uses G055529A2, sorry, FL52529 :)
My 2018 S3 is at 47K miles. I guess I should do this soon.
It’s done at 80000 miles lol
long shot but do you know if the 1.6L TDI MK7 (2016) needs a DSG service? A few shops I've called said VW doesn't recommend it as it's a "lifetime fluid"
Great video, I searched for golf R content, and found this channel. Im learning a lot about the golf R from you. But with how long do you think a VW GOLF R life span is mile wise? The used market is crazy, and the lowest I’ve found was a $25k mk7 130k mile golf r. I don’t wanna buy one with that many miles for the price unless I know for a fact it’s going to last a very long time. Also, not looking into a auto, looking at MT. Not sure if that changes thing. I would love to see you do a LONG term review of the golf R (like talking about ones over 100k miles) and your honest opinion. Thanks for the great content
Thanks for the great video! Is the mechatronic using the same oil? Just draining it from two drain plugs?
Yes
The side plug made a huge mess when i did the 1st service at the shop it went all into the fender liner and splashed all over......horrible spot
Does the mechatronic share the same fluid cause in the video you only shows how to drain it
I’m stage 1 high torque, do you think I should change the filter? I’m at 33.7k miles, also can we fill from the top filler hole?
Aww dude I so could have used this video 3 months ago !
Will you do a transfer box (bevel box) oil change Video please on your mk7 golf
Yep eventually I will
Hello
I changed the oil in the transfer box (bevel box) in the VW instructions for doing this oil change it says to change the oil then put the fill plug back in and run the engine in gear with the wheels off the ground for 2 minutes can you tell me what the reason for doing this is? I couldn’t do this, I was able to rotate the wheels by hand a few times but that is all, and then I rechecked the oil level will this have been ok or do I need to check the oil level again after driving the car for some time now?
Thank you.
DSG fluid, hydroscopic or not? Ie can it be stored and reused after it has been opened (unlike brake fluid for example)?
Hi mate ,Can i change the oil without changing the oil filter ?
Can I ask something? I did 't see mechatronic fluid refull?
hey Charles if u dont mind me asking why did u do a transmission service on the car? it didnt seem like it had 80k miles
Charles, if you ever get your hands on a Golf mk6 2.5l 5-cyl manual, please do a fluid change if possible. There isn't a single vid (to my knowledge) anywhere that shows how to do it *properly*. And there are no Haynes repair manuals for the 6-gen Golfs.
Just hit 252,000 miles on mine (year 2012) and I need to change the manual tran fluid. It's super straightforward on my 2003 Civic, but man is it weird on my Golf.
Thank you🖐
I like it. If you need repair manual ErwinVW has a 1 day pass you can buy and download whatever you need
How do you replace the solenoids in the megatronic unit.
I get my DSG Oil and Filter changed every 60000 km. Its very Important thing to do.
DIY?
I have a 2020 audi a3, would the filter housing be the same as this one on you mk7.5?
I just bought a 15 Audi a3 2.0t quattro dq250 dsg. Should I change the DSG oil if the car has 119k miles? I don’t know if its done before. I do it every 40k on my Gli
Hello, As i can see you have simmilar DSG as mine. Is it DQ380?
7:35 What tool was he using to get around the corner? Was it 2 universal joints on extension bars?
Would this be the same as the 2019 GLI?
The only likeness between this DSG and the one in my 2017 Audi A4 is the fact they both have 7 speeds. On the A4 the filters are built into the mechatronics unit and are not serviceable. There is a specific drain plug just like the one towards the front but the one at the rear the standpipe that sets the level is built in and can’t be removed. Also the mechatronic DSG fluid only takes 4 liters as the gear section of the transmission is separate from the mechatronic and takes a different fluid. Oh and the DSG side has a pressure accumulator that has to be depressurized to get the max fluid out.
I have Scirocco 2011. Is it possible to use Shell DCT F3 instead of VW G 052 182 A2 ?
So I did it and put 6L of oil and it rejected almost 1L at 38 degrees Celsius. Hope it’s ok and have enough oil in my dsg 🤞
Hi you okay, where can you get repair manual from?
Thanks
MK7.5 7sp = 80k ... Check! Nice video.
Yeah the filters ain’t cheap I just recently did my DSG 7 speed fluid. I had the 6 speed DSG filter and well…… had to wait for the 7 speed filter.
awesome video as always! im about due to have my mk7.5 gti 6DSG serviced, it will be performed at my local dealer. question - do i have to mention/request the filter to be changed when coming in for the service? also, it is my understanding that the diff should also be serviced at the same time when the DSG? thanks!
So the service looks to be due every 3 years. Probably not a bad idea to do it at the same time. I doubt it will save you any $, but good for documentation
So the mechatronics unit doesn't have a separate fill?
I have a 2020 Audi A3. It has the same 7 spd dsg, I believe. My (Canadian) maintenance info says to change the fluid and filter element every 60,000 km (only 36,000 miles) or 48 months. That is very different from every 80,000 miles (150,000 km) and no filter. Thoughts?
better to do it before the intervals
how many kilometer have to change dsg and mechatronic oil?
Did the DSG service on my '19 Rabbit at 40k miles and the fluid looked about like yours did. I work at my family's independent shop and I had to tell my local VW dealership's parts department what fluid and filter go in the DQ381, he didn't even realize the DQ250 was dropped that model year 😅
Also, what is your opinion on the 80k interval? Think it's still safer to follow the 40k interval of the previous DSGs or do you genuinely think these wear less to warrant an 80k change due to the longer gearing?
I’ll probably recommend 40
@@HumbleMechanic agreed. Fluid and filters are cheaper than a clutch pack and mechatronics unit.
super . top 👍
Hi Charles I specialize in Europen Car and I have done so many DSG service until now but I have to say I have never done any VW or Audi 7 Speed yet but I have done some Audi Q5 and A4 new Duall clutch Transmission were you have to use the scan tool to drain the pressure accumulator and about the oil pulsation on and off I remember seeing this on the 6 speed DSG but most of the time I put 4.5 litre and don't fill it by tempeture because most cars are already hot when the customer leaves the car except cars that had been left the day before. thanks for the video I assume the fill tool is the same a the 6 speed ? or at least the same tread size.
to combat the hot issue of a car coming in from a customer, put the DSG fluid in the refrigerator for couple hours, so it is nice and cold.
I shot a funny clip about that. Lol it didn’t make the video
