Just another thought/question - which hole / orifice did they vacuum the DSG fluid up from?

OH and some DSG PORN:

Dunno, but I was talked through a VW document which showed the process, which is why I was surprised when you gave a different viewpoint and asked where you'd got it?

I'll see if I can lay my hands on it?
Sideways yo!

OK.  They do have to use a special tube and valve thingy to fill it - you havn't confused it with this?  :wink:

BTW, what is your sig pic about?  :confused:  :smiley:

A little bump to this subject - now that I've added the full DSG service manual, there should be no doubt that if a stealer tries to tell someone their DSG was overfilled or underfilled - you can now prove to them they are talking bollox . . .  :booty:

Hi a little bit new to the whole DSG thing.  Are these boxes problematic as I'm looking at buying a MK5 DSG?

....No more problematic than a manual box or any other mechanical component. I now wouldn't consider buying another car without DSG, S-Tronic, or equivalent system.

Thank you makes me feel better.  I have heard good things about but wasn't 100% sure.  I will definitely look at purchasing one now.
