Great video, thanks. Good to see what is involved. I just need to decide now wether to give it a go myself or to get my local garage to do it.
@youcandoit18282 күн бұрын
Well the channel is about you can do it. So I would say do it but thats up to you. See how much the garage will charge and go from there. Next time Lidl are selling the oil pumps pick one up, buy a sump plug filler adapter and some oil ready for the next one if you don't feel up to it this time. You can do it.

Perfect video . Thanks so much for taking the time to do this video us. I was told only VW should do this oil change as they need to use a vacuum system to do it properly . I will now do this myself this week with no problem . (After my pump arrives 😀)

Hello Sir, Many thanks for your informative video. I really liked the use of the electric pump to clean the filter housing and refill the DSG box . Once again , thank you , dankeschön . Ps. I have also ordered the exact same pump that you used. Cost 16.89 Euro

Word of warning here. I've done one this week for a customer. It was last done 39000 miles ago by a main dealer so you would "assume" that the correct amount of oil was in the box. I measured just over 5 litres drained. I refilled correctly by the book using VCDS and the unit took just short of 7 litres. There is a reason why the right procedure should be followed.
@youcandoit1828 Жыл бұрын
Something strange there as VW sell the oil in box’s of 6 litres especially for the job of refilling. Here in Germany VW dealers put in 5-6l. You can do it 👍
@viniciusbembea2 ай бұрын
How you filled 7 liters, if maximum capability of the DSG unit, is 6 liters of oil?
@SCOTE9912 жыл бұрын
Very helpful video. I 3d printed filling adapter it worked well. Other guides dont mention draining mechatronics, I wonder why? Quite a lot came out of mine. I ended up using the full 6l as a result. I did final check on level not much came out. In this video an assumption is made that it was filled correctly before which may not be the case.
@youcandoit18282 жыл бұрын
Hi well done in printing the adapter. 6 Litres will work but it's the max. Some of the other dry clutch DSG boxes I believe just have one drain plug. Definitely was filled correctly before as done by VW Main Dealer and all certified . Here in Germany and Austria they bring serving to a whole new level... You can do it :)

@youcandoit1828 Жыл бұрын
Everything is good. I’m about to change it again. I replace the filter every second time. So this change will be simply drain box and megatronic unit and then 5 litres of new pumped in, job done. Hope this helps and keep us posted. You can do it 👍

Hi, thank you for the video. Is there not an upper plug on the gearbox for filling in? What size is the adapter? Is it sold separately? a link for adapter will be massively appreciated. Thanks again

Hi No upper plug to fill the gearbox. Adapter can be bought individually on Amazon.You can do it.

So when you pump oil in where does the air displacement go? Is there a bleed vent?
@youcandoit18283 ай бұрын
Yes must be otherwise as the oil heats up the internal area becomes pressurised and would cause oil leaks. You can do it 👍
@davutuzun733410 ай бұрын
This maynot right because oil has expansion under certain temp. Therefore there is plastic leveller in the box on top of drain plug. these gearboxes has very specific amount of oil in them. The plastic leveller sets this amount in gearbox. What you did. You drained cold oil let say 5.3lt then you put 5.3lt cold oil and then you did run the engine. After that oil expanded then you drained off about .3 liter something. Are you sure this is right to do?
@youcandoit182810 ай бұрын
Hi. I didn't drain any oil what so ever after filling the gearbox. I did mention if you want to drain it as per manual than you can. These boxes are not so sensitive as everyone makes out, that's my personal view and experience of others. If you drain the oil from the gearbox and megatronic unit, put in 5litre. If you also change the filter and drain the housing put in 5.5 and you are good to go. The Germans just put in 5 litres. after a change. If you are in any doubt just measure the oil volume you drain out and you'll see how much was in there to start with. Of course this assumes it was correctly filled in the first place. It's just a gearbox with wet clutches and an automatic gearchange. Hope this helps You can do it 👍

When I changed the dsg oil in my 6 speed Skoda Octavia Vrs gear box I left the filter out until the end so air could come out of the gearbox when filling.

Thanks for the informativ video. Very clear and easy to follow. I had my vw T6 in for dsg oil change. but they forget to change the filter. Is it fine? Car has 100k km on it. I got the car today and didn't drive it yet. Do i need to change oil and filter again? Or is it fine to change filter only?
@youcandoit18284 ай бұрын
I don't think a lot of garages change the filter . Should be fine to just change the filter. It's not needed to change filter every oil change I believe it says change every other oil change. You can do it 👍

@@youcandoit1828 Thank you for the fast response. Also i have one more question. They filled 6 liter of transmission oil. But when i told them if they did start the car and wait for the oil to reach 35-45 c and then let it dribbing the excess oil to ensure correct oil level. They told me no, they only pumped up with 6 litres. I think the dsg is over filled. Is it dangerous to keep it like this? Or better to let it drip the excess oil?
@youcandoit18284 ай бұрын
Was it a VW garage ? 6 litres should be fine. It's not so precise better more than less. Specialist DSG Workshop said they put 6 in and leave it. You can do it 👍

Though that why is green plastick tube screwed in so it determine the oil level on 40°c gearbox oil temperature. Nothing should come out (1liter in ur case( When you undone the drain plug?

Understand 2.5k is a lot. It’s an easy job. You don’t have to change filter everytime. I believe every other time is recommended. Only painful bit is refilling if you don’t have a pump. You can do it. 👍

We don't do that in the garage (suction pimp)as the first thing we do is take the filter out. THEN we drain it, and all that oil drains out.
@youcandoit1828 Жыл бұрын
Yes that will work but there’s always old oil left in the filter housing unless you such it all out. Won’t make a huge difference but I like to get all the black stuff out. That’s why VW do as you have done and just put 5 litres in. You can do it 👍
