You don’t need to buy any kit. You can just refill it from the top (filter hole). Just use a big funnel, make a seal around the filter hole with something (I used small section of clear hose and electrical tape), fill up the funnel up when needed, let gravity do all the work (took about 30min). Much cleaner way and you dont lose any oil trying do it with this kit.

[@kawilifezx10r23]

I used a $7 bottle adapter hose from Walmart and took off adapter cap and hose went right over my funnels end and filled through the funnel. The hose has a small tip fitting at the end and it snugs in perfect up top. Took about 20ish minutes to top fill. AND if you do it in your garage or a level enough surface you can do it even without ramps or Jack's there is enough room for a low profile oil pan to slide under and your arm can reach to the allen bolt in transmission pretty easily. I've done it this way twice no issues. No need to over complicate stuff as long as you have an obd11 your golden.

[@RSXengineering]

@@kawilifezx10r23 Can you actually do it without lifting the car up? That would make it way easier since I won’t have to level the car with multiples jack points

[@kawilifezx10r23]

@RSXengineering I have done it twice without having the car on jackstands. Laying on the floor you can reach both drain bolts in the DSG. Have a low profile oil pan under the car crack the first drain bolt move the pan under and using the allen unscrew the it all the way out. Same with inner bolt. Don't get why people over think this it's way easy. ...unless you have short arms lol then you might have a problem.

Please do a GLI Jet Tag! I’ve been really enjoying your videos.

[@huwjones5879]

I always loosen the fill plug on a gearbox first just in case. You don't want to have an empty gear box and a seized fill plug.

[@trickmasterflex]

you fill through the drain plug on these cars

[@portacole3735]

Please make a GLI jet tag i would order one instantly!

[@nillbill6639]

Your videos Rock G. Thanks I am fairly new to these platforms and I have a mk6.5 GLI . I love how detailed your videos are . Great camera work too .Cheers.

[@AttilaGobor]

Do NOT hold the bottle upside down. :D The point of the long tube is to go all the way to the bottom and as air gets in at the top, it pushes the oil into the transmission. Also, aren't you supposed to go through all the gears to bleed it from air to have it properly filled?

[@RomanEcheveria]

You can also do the top fill method instead of bottom fill .

[@TheYTCG]

like where the filter sits?

[@markjohnson2079]

FCP Euro mentions this during their video.. doing it this way took 2 hours for 5 qts of fluid... so... doable yes... but not ideal?

[@Tracksavvy]

@@markjohnson2079 you could do worse things to save money

[@cyclistman6358]

Cameron. Thank you for deleting your previous incorrect DSG DIY service and reposting the corrected and proper method. Please do your homework before posting DIY maintenance videos, because there are some that will blindly follow your recommendations. Your street cred is on the mend. Peace!

ive seen some people use the trans filter opening to fill the trans, and some advise against it. would you happen to know why this is?

[@ivanvega2821]

….”I need to do that as well..” I died laughing. Great video guys! Tackling this on my 2018 Passat GT.

[@albertohing3200]

If I never change transmission oil, it’s a good idea change, because many dealers service don’t want do it if you don’t do on time

[@davidbarthel9976]

Apparently the Beck and Arnley 252-5000 fluid is an acceptable fluid as well for the DSG transmission.

[@Koroshario]

Why you didn't filled from top?

[@JayJayMarten]

Great video. Does anyone know if the OBDeleven standard (non-pro version) allows for live data/the ability to check the transmission fluid temp? Or is that only available on the pro version?

[@leeisenberg]

What year model is this? Thanks for sharing. Can Anyone tell me exactly Where these are prone to leak??... Got a 2006, can't tell where the heck it's leaking from. Thanks. - take care

[@OBYourThirst]

Great video bro I drive a 2018 passat R line trim and about to get a stage 1 tune and you save my life to go and try do my own transmission drain and filter

[@manuelsilva8530]

Do you really need to put the oil front the bottom?

[@g4sean]

No, can be done from the top, just take's longer!

[@BabyCharlotteschannel]

Think of it like a lower unit gearcase for a boat motor. Filling from the bottom pushes the air out and ensures it is completely full..

[@chancewindham1718]

@@BabyCharlotteschannelThat doesn’t really matter on these vehicles as you are overfilling and then draining to proper level. It’s extremely easy to ensure proper levels

[@rhammerfist]

Does the ECU need any type of reset after the DSG service?

[@Boosted403]

No

[@abuasfur7334]

Is the DSG plug washer a crush washer? When tightening the bolt I felt it “give” at the end. Not sure if this was the washer crushing or the treads stripping. I didn’t have a torque wrench.

Drain and measure, top fill with a 1/2 quart or so extra through filter access. Bring to temperature. Drain excess Fastest, Easiest and IMO, best way for service

I actually used this filler tool without the regulator…ended up exploding 3 quarts of oil in the shop lmao 😅

[@_tpiston_6941]

Dealership recommends doing a DSG Fluid swap at 80k for my GLI but some mechanic here said I should do it at 40 due to warmer weather here in Florida. Thoughts anyone? I'm new to the VW gang so just trying to figure out if this guy is upselling me or not?

[@jmccann6735]

7 speed is 80k, 6 speed is 40k

What about leaving the battery unplugged for too long? Is there anyway to prevent the computer from resetting?

[@PDG1956]

If you connect a small battery (off a bike, maybe) via auxiliary leads to the terminals before disconnecting and removing the main battery, your settings are kept safe. Still have to do the temp read out thing though.

[@cyclistman6358]

@@Anthony_DiDonato There’s pros & cons to both types of transmissions. If you drive the DSG in full auto it’s terrible and boring. But if you drive it it in full manual mode it can be very fast and handle a lot of torque. But from a pure driving engagement point of view and if you’re not to concerned with getting up to speed the quickest, then a nice short throw manual is the way to go for sure.
