  • whats up y'all, i got another DIY service video for you guys. the dsg fluid seems complicated at first, but its actually pretty easy. as long as you've got all the tool necessary, you should be set to go. standard service time frame should be 40k miles. i would recommend 30-35k if you are tuned. save $300-400 in labor and diy at home!

    This method seems much easier than filling from bottom.

    I like this b/c it's done at home with jackstands. I hadn't seen the "top fill" method before. Hope it's a good one.

    Great video! What helps speed up the process. Leave the DSG oil bottles out in the sun to “warm” them up. That way it isn’t as thick. Killer video!

    nice video bro really thinking about doing mine now 👍🏻. quick question just to make sure once its drained i can put both bottom plugs back in. and just start putting the dsg fluid (5 quartz )thru the top again ? and that would be it basically right ? no need to leave the last bolt out so it could drain like i seen other people do or anything ?

    • @nickvu5429
      @nickvu5429  3 года назад +3

      thank you man! & yup you should be good to go. if this is your first dsg flush, fluid should be around 4.6-.7 quarts. that measuring funnel helped a ton, def recommend that!

    Can you suck it up from the top with a oil extrator, like someone would with the engine oil sort of method.

      @nickvu5429  3 года назад

      yup! lots of people run the schwaben oil extractors and they work great! thinking of picking on up myself for a no lift oil change. would be a nice change.

    Hi mate, nice info VDO ;-) One question: what if the oil temp is not correct? I mean, what if is hotter or colder? What I have to do for both cases?

    • @nickvu5429
      @nickvu5429  3 года назад +1

      thanks! it’s fine if it’s hotter, you just need it minimum at operating temp. if it’s colder let it run till warm enough

    no way you stuck that straight back in when dropping it on the ground. There is zero chance you didnt get some sheet in the oil doing that.
