2015 VW Jetta DSG transmission fluid change

This DIY video shows how to change the automatic transmission fluid in a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta TDI. This service is required every 40,000 miles in many Volkswagen/Audi models with the DSG (direct-shift gearbox) transmission or S-tronic for Audi.

I've seen about 5 DSG fluid videos and this one is the best DSG fluid change video on youtube. I will be attempting this PROJECT next week. I don't have the fill adapter so I will try putting in the fluid from the filter at the top... Wish me luck & hope it works!

[@Nsingh11]

if you want to do it from the top you have to make sure that the amount of fluid you drained goes back into the transmission so if you drain 4.5 literes make sure you top fill the car with this much dsg fluid.

[@matthewethier1977]

Great Video!! I wonder why they have the over flow pan and the "level tube" and not just a filler plug? Why did they chose 35C and not 70C? When the transmission heats up to say 70C the fluid most expand more and drop down the level tube? Seems to me the way you do it is as accurate as anyway. Is there a low/high fluid light for the TSG? I am about to do my first change on my TDI. Having trouble getting OEM filter with the O ring, advice on after market filters from ECS...good to go or no? Thanks

[@Corysdiyauto]

Thank you! There's not a light on any sort for the DSG fluid level. As far as the filter goes, ECS Tuning should be fine. You can also try idparts.com for DSG fluid and filter.

@@Corysdiyauto Thank you so much!!

[@gabep1768]

Great video!! I change the motor oil in my 2015 Jetta TDI with an electric pump which sucks the oil out of the dipstick hole. Could the same method be used of sucking the oil out of the transmission through the filter housing hole and then just replace whatever amount was sucked out of it through the same hole from the top? It would avoid having to put the car up on stands and draining / filling from the bottom.

[@Corysdiyauto]

Thank you! Well, I don't know if you can suck out all of the transmission fluid that way, I never tried it. It's better just to drain from the bottom. That way you know that you are getting the majority of the fluid out.

[@chrishaidinyak4621]

I filled my 2015 VW Passat TDI automatic the other way which seemed easier for me. I just weighed a pail and then collected all the fluid out of the transmission and then weighed the new fluid with bottle and just placed the same amount I took out with the amount in the new bottle. Mine was about 3800 g which I hope is correct.....

[@The3lloba]

Great job sir. Quick question, if filling from the top, why not add more and then wait for it to start breaking up same this? Why have to put back same amount? Cheers!

[@Corysdiyauto]

WolfganG - If you choose to fill from the top, then you have to measure the amount that you drain and then put the same amount back in. Once you put everything back together and start the engine and warm the transmission up, then there's no way to add more fluid if you need to unless you fill from the bottom. Yes, you can overfill from the top and then drain from the bottom if you choose, but once you have everything back together, then there's no way to add more fluid if you need to unless you fill from the bottom. I hope that you understand?

[@davidpaul2914]

How do you know how much oil is in the gear box after having drained some out? Cheers

[@Corysdiyauto]

The plastic drain tube determines the level of the fluid. This is why it's important to make sure that the vehicle is level during this process.

[@chaddorethy6629]

Cory Mondics so if u add too much is this why u leave the car running without out putting the drain plug on so it can level out to the correct amount ? Great video btw

[@Corysdiyauto]

I was thinking of purchasing a 2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA SPORTWAGEN, I can turn a wrench but have never owned one. What are your thoughts? Knowing what you know now, would you buy one? I also love diesels.

[@Corysdiyauto]

I've never owned one, but I think that they are great vehicles. I would get a manual transmission because that's just my preference. I love shifting! If you like the style, then go for it. Diesels are awesome and the amount of torque is incredible, plus they are fuel efficient. The only downside is the emission system.

[@muminiasty]

DSG transmission , that is VW 6 speed correct? I have few questions here, looks like this transmission fluid is clear vs red like other cars? I love the fact that it has a accessible filter on top. IS it the same motor/transmission in 2014 tdi?

[@Corysdiyauto]

Marcin Tyszka - Yes, this is the 6 speed DSG. The fluid is an amber color actually and for 2014, you have the CJAA engine. In 2015, VW introduced the CVCA engine which is a totally different design.

[@tedjohnson64]

Nice video! How long did it take to add all 5 liters? I watched one video where the guy claimed it took 35 mins but that seems insane.

[@Corysdiyauto]

tedjohnson64 - Thanks! It does take awhile, but not 35 minutes. Maybe about 15 for me? It depends on what your setup is like as well. The type of funnel you use and hose length all play a role in how long it takes to fill.

[@tedjohnson64]

@@CorysdiyautoThanks for the quick reply, much appreciated! 15 minutes is much better than 35. If it was 35, then I was going to consider getting the expensive FCPEuro tool (www.fcpeuro.com/products/atf-filling-system-tank-cta-7400) to inject the new DSG fluid using air pressure. But 15 minutes makes it much more reasonable to do it by hand.

[@PrePaidTeam]

Thanks for the Excellent post! I had a suggestion for getting more of the old fluid out, wait and jack up the back (level your car) after you drain the fluid. My 2015 Jetta only pissed for 17 seconds and I reckon it took 4.84 L I timed yours and it pissed significantly longer (2x) so I imagine there was more old fluid in there?

[@Corysdiyauto]

PrePaidTeam - It's important to have the vehicle level for the whole process, especially when filling. Was this your first time doing this? How many miles are on the car? The reason being, the previous owner might have under filled it?

[@PrePaidTeam]

@@Corysdiyauto 38,000mi I do not think the oil had ever been changed.

[@Corysdiyauto]

@@PrePaidTeam - Well, the interval is every 40,000 miles, so I highly doubt it.

[@mqbitsko25]

You will never got all the old fluid out. Don't worry about it. Clean enough is clean enough. I have the same theory about power steering fluid. Nobody ever thanks to change that. What I do is suck out whatever is in the reservoir and replace it every time I do an oil change. (Obviously not relevant if you have electric steering.)

[@snkboarder]

Well, the factory uses an overfill method, so the first change will usually have more come out. After that, unless it's overfilled again, it should be less. All things being equal and all technicians being competent, of course.

[@Billster1955]

Is the procedure the same for a 2016 Jetta with a 1.4 liter gasoline engine? I don't see a dipstick to check the transmission fluid level. I have a transmission alarm indication on the dash. I was hoping to check the level but there's no dipstick UGH. Is there a way to check the level?

[@Corysdiyauto]

Billster1955 - You have a different transmission in your Jetta. The DSG transmission is only available in the GLI and TDI. Unfortunately, there isn't a dipstick to check the fluid level either. I'm not familiar with your transmission, but I'm sure that you can find something on KZbin. Sorry that I couldn't help.

Would this process be the same for a 2012 EOS with the DSG transmission? Just hit 120,000 miles I’ve had it since 65,000 and it’s never been serviced under my ownership. Starting to slip when I hit the gas but no lights regarding the transmission have come on yet.

[@Corysdiyauto]

The process would be very similar, but not exactly the same. You do have the DSG, so it's the same in that aspect. I hope that the fluid change helps with the slipping issue. That's not good that it's never been serviced before.

[@ConsoleFinder]

Why didn’t you use the pump from harbor freight? Would that have been quicker than the gravity method?

[@Corysdiyauto]

Fred Flinstone - That pump is junk from Harbor Frieght. I just used the hose from that kit because I had it laying around and it fit perfectly over the funnel end without any leaks.

[@deezz1982]

How long did you let it run with the new fluid before draining it?

[@Corysdiyauto]

brandon diaz - I let it run for about 5 minutes. The car was already warm from driving prior to starting with the fluid change. You have to get the fluid up to the correct temperature (35 degrees Celsius or 95 degrees Fahrenheit) to obtain the correct level in the transmission.

[@UpInSmoke_420]

Great video, but can you also put the fluid in through the filter area? Or does it have to be the plug?

[@Corysdiyauto]

Philly Gonzales - You can do it either way. If you fill it through the filter area, just make sure you put the same amount of fluid back in that was drained out. Thanks for watching!

[@aleksandrguas8580]

When you put back that plastic black leveling tube ..you tight it up by hand or with a socket wrench?And then you screwed up the metal adapter attached with a hose to fill it up with the fluid.

[@Corysdiyauto]

That plastic tube just needs to be hand tight. You can easily strip the threads if you over tighten it. Then, you can fill it up with new transmission fluid by using the adapter.

Nabor Luciano - With this method, you overfill it and then the correct level is determined by the tube inside the transmission. This is why I drained the fluid with the engine running to determine the correct level. I hope that you watched the video the whole way through to understand it. Some people choose to just put the same amount back in that was drained, but you are assuming that the correct amount was in there in the first place. It's all personal preference.

@@jeffrey1000902713588 - Only the TDI and GLI models have the DSG transmission. You don't have the DSG transmission so your transmission fluid change will be different.

[@Lee-dt7ii]

Is this a 6 speed dsg

[@Corysdiyauto]

Lee - Yes it is.

[@Lee-dt7ii]

Cory Mondics ok thanks, do you know if the 7 speed dsg requires oil change 2016 model 2.0 tdi

[@Corysdiyauto]

Lee - Yes it requires the 40,000 mile service. I don't know what the procedure is exactly, but I'm sure that it's similar.

[@roysaenz5738]

Could you just pour the fluid in where the filter goes then install the filter and cap and not have to buy all them hoses and connection? To save $$ just what I would have done.

[@Corysdiyauto]

Roy Saenz - Yes, you can do that, but you have to measure the amount that you drain out and then put the same amount back in. You're also assuming that the amount of fluid that's in the transmission is the correct amount. This is the reason why I don't like to do it that way. The hose and funnel isn't that much money anyways and it's still cheaper than paying someone else to do it.

[@danielschmitt6622]

Why do you need to measure how much you put back in? In the video you just dumped all 5 liters in and let the excess pour out of the drain with the level tube in?

[@Corysdiyauto]

Well, there are 2 ways of doing this. The top fill method, which is when you fill from the filter location. With that method you have to measure how much you drain so that you can put the same amount back in. The second method is the bottom fill method, which is what I did in the video. I prefer this method, although you do waste some fluid, but it's more precise. I hope this helps.

[@armondiannone2139]

At the dealer they sell a inside strainer type filter you have to drop the pan for to install, anyone ever discover how often this piece needs changing out?

[@Corysdiyauto]

ARMOND IANNONE - I've never heard of that? Are you sure that you are referring to the DSG?

[@smexyspexy2754]

This is for a automatic right

[@Corysdiyauto]

UnBiasedGaming - Yes it is. It's for the DSG transmission.

[@smexyspexy2754]

Dude I can’t thank you enough. VW dealer told me it would cost 545$ to do Mine. You’ve saved me so much man. Thanks!

Good job.....however ..what a shitty refill system by the manufacturer!! I have to do same thing..😖😖

How much you want for that mower on display in the background when underneath the vehicle. Looks staged.

[@Corysdiyauto]

Preston Baxter - Are you talking about the red Craftsman push mower?

[@redihoxha2940]

It's not dual clutch?

[@Corysdiyauto]

Redi Hoxha - Yes it has dual clutches.

Redi Hoxha - Do you have a manual transmission?

[@redihoxha2940]

Cory Mondics no, I have dual clutch DSG transmission

[@Corysdiyauto]

@@redihoxha2940 - Well, that fluid is formulated for manual transmissions.

[@98silver98]

Has anyone thought of modding the battery tray so you have a door to the filter? Then you only have to take out the battery and there it is?

[@Corysdiyauto]

98silver98 - I've never thought of that, but it's something that would take some engineering. It would save some time though! The VW engineers should've made that filter more easily accessible.

[@98silver98]

@@Corysdiyauto We also have a Lexus and they have doors in aero pieces as well so you dont have to take off that whole plastic pan all the time just to access drain plug. Just started work on jetta but they could have made things a little easier.

[@jerryglasure8708]

@@Corysdiyauto The engineers don't want to make it easy. They really don't want you to work on your own car.

[@kchan333]

Drain until the stream breaks up? Not very scientific. To set the proper level, you are supposed to run the engine until the transmission fluid reaches 35-45C before draining the excess fluid. You would need VW/Audi scan tool to monitor the temperature.

[@Corysdiyauto]

No need to be a scientist for this job. I've been doing it this way since day one and the transmission shifts like new! Yes, a scan tool would be what the dealer should use, but most do-it-yourself types aren't going to have one. This way works!

[@kchan333]

@@Corysdiyauto Fluid expands as temperature rises. Why bother to have the car level with your method? No scan tool? No problem...use a cheap infrared thermometer and point it at the transmission case.

[@3bandits1]

Yeah no thanks I’ll just pay to have someone do it lol

[@Corysdiyauto]

Tyler Fricke - It's not all that bad. You can do it, just take your time with it. You'll save yourself some money too!

[@jesuscruz2423]

What a mess

[@battlestar1788]

Stupid way to design a transmission with no way of checking fluid level

[@Corysdiyauto]

Andre Persaud - Yeah, unfortunately many vehicles are like that.

[@Hunter-dn2gl]

Too much work

[@scottburgle4889]

$600 to have someone else do it. I’ll use that money on hookers and cocaine.

too complicated,
