DsG oil checking

[syntex]

Hey
Does anyone know how to check the DSG transmission oil level? I cannot find any dipstick?

There isn't one.

i believe the techs check the condition with a scan tool, but dude, if the shifting feels bad, just change it.
I use motul DCTF now & love it!

It doesn't go anywhere if you don't have a leak. You're supposed to change it every 40K miles. Mine always looks like new when I change it. Not much else to say.

If you have any issues, it's probably the mechatronics unit. But you can always try to "reset" the DSG with VAG-COM (http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/6-Speed_Direct_Shift_Gearbox_(DSG/02E)).

Sent you pm, I'm going to try motul soon.

OP, you can check the level/top it off by pulling the first drain plug underneath and removing the filter on top to fill it. It will only drain out after it's over the correct level. I would recommend just a new o-ring for that filter housing if you are between changes.

Don't forget accuracy using the flute for oil level is dependent upon fluid temp
