Hi all, just attempted to do a dsg oil change and this happened...



How bad is this? Do i 100% need a new snorkel before driving. Or could i superglue etc and refit. What job is it actually doing as reading online some people are saying its only there to be of use to get the correct level when doing the bottom fill method. I am doing the top fill method.

Any help much appreciated.

GreigC:
Do not use that again… get a replacement.

Cheers Greig. Do you know what its purpose is?

GreigC:
The oil filler level insert (Pictured above) allows you to overfill the DSG gearbox with oil then run the DSG gearbox to temp by following the correct temp monitored via VAGCOM… then you remove the sump plug (silver metal plug) it will drain out quite a bit then stop… then run into a small trickle… then a drip…drip…drip every few seconds then the system is at the correct level.

Thanks Greig, so if i am using the top fill method and putting in what came out (4.7l) and this things only purpose is to help get the correct level when using the bottom fill method, can it be left out altogether?  :thinking:
