Excellent video. I appreciate your commentary and tips (downloading manuals, using a swivel to avoid cross threading, the magnet rod, etc.) and cleaning everything as you go. Your customers are quite lucky to have found you. Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge.

[@EXOVCDS]

Thank you and thank you for watching... I still learn as I go.

Thanks for that great (as each time) video.I have a question: what sort of cleaner do you use in your pressurised bottle to spray in the engine bay (when you clean outside the filter of the DSG box)? Is it break cleaner or something less "aggressive"?thank you

[@EXOVCDS]

+François-Xavier Wiart It is brake parts cleaner... it evaporates quickly, so it has less chance to soak-in to something if that is what you are worried about.

[@atubebuff]

Dumb question but there seemed to be a lot of oil coming out from the overflow drain (with the tube still in). Was it initially overfilled?

[@EXOVCDS]

Sorry about the late reply!!! When the engine is off, fluid level is higher because fluid is not circulating.

[@kashubelua]

No bullshit, clean, thx bro! Wunderbar

[@EXOVCDS]

Thank you and thank you for watching!

[@topari01]

Thomas, would you conclude from the initial drain of the dsg fluid, the gearbox was overfilled? Looks like at least 1/2 litre was drained?

[@EXOVCDS]

Yes, I put in more fluid than needed and then drain the extra... I no longer put in as much, so the drain time is shorter.

[@user-gk7nk3nu4s]

Thank you so much I learnt how ..if any more videos on the cc v/w 2011 .

[@originalswolfsburg9889]

You made it seem easy. Where did you get the adapter that connects to the drain hole? Could I perform this service with a power bleeder?

[@EXOVCDS]

The adapter came with the kit / bottle: www.amazon.com/Mityvac-MV6410-ATF-Refill-System/dp/B004IKRO5M/ Thanks for watching!

hi mate today i change seal for vw touran 2012 7 speed green fluid come out a bout 1 little i lloking every where i could find any where to put bk,,can u help me thx

[@shith00k]

Thanks for the video. I've done one DSG drain and fill the usual way by removing the battery tray and bottom filling followed by running up to temperature and draining until you get drops rather than a stream. I am now due again for this service on my Golf. I plan on draining, measuring and top filling. Do you suggest just adding 5 liters even if only 4.5 liters drains out? What is the harm, if any, just to leave that small excess behind? Keep up the good work!

[@EXOVCDS]

Overfilling can cause aeration... air in fluid reduces its effectiveness and can also cause oxidation (due to moisture in the air bubbles) in areas that are supposed to be air free. That would be my guess... I'm not sure if 1/2 liter will be an issue. In "hotter climates", fluid level is to be checked at a hotter temperature, which results in more fluid draining out / less fluid staying in the transmission. Adding 5 & draining to the correct level (at the correct temperature) is not that big of an undertaking and is well worth the piece of mind / second guessing oneself.

[@shith00k]

Thanks, I can drain the excess easily enough but I am only going to refill slightly more than what is drained. The procedure I followed last time had me bottom filling 6 liters just to have upwards of a liter and a half go into my drain pan. Pretty wasteful.

[@pantherv5]

thanks for the video. i'm planning to do my own dsg when my tdi reaches 40k miles. i've watched and read a lot of video/threads. just wondering if you have measured how much fluid drains out? quite a few said consistently about 4.5~4,6 liters comes out, just fill ~4.6 liter from top and call it a day. when filling from bottom, it often underfills. i'm still debating which filling methods to use......

[@EXOVCDS]

+pantherv5 Sorry about the late reply... I don't measure what comes out. I add 5 to 5.5 liters and then check / drain the level at 35c. Yes it's over filling / wasteful, but it is a visual indication that the level is ok.

[@noxbob90]

hi, thx for your video, I have a Audi A3 3.2l dsg6, I have a communication problem with the gearbox (mecatronic), do you have any idea where to look for please

[@EXOVCDS]

Check power & ground supplies at the main harness connector of the DSG... a wiring diagram will tell you what fuses need to be checked and what color the wires are. Look for any damage to wires (due to corrosion, impact from an accident etc). If everything checks out OK, then the mechatronic is probably bad.

[@ofValor]

do you have to run through the gears after changing the fluid?

[@EXOVCDS]

The transmission will do that once you start driving.

[@HristovRumen]

hi Thom. I am pretty desperate with my stupid jetta mk6. so it's 2011 jetta with the 2.5l and a dsg. the car started giving me a very shitty problem lately. it will sometimes (more and more often) not engage into reverse when I put it in R. it makes a slightly different noise than free-reving, but it certainly is not moving. then if I change the gears it will be fine again. doesn't matter if I am going from d to r or from p to r. it will do it rvery now and then. I scanned it with vcds and there are no codes for anything. the car has only 59 000kms on it. dsg fluid was changed at 50 000.

[@EXOVCDS]

+Rumen Hristov I've got no DSG experience aside from changing oil & filter. I don't know if your DSG is part of the early generation that had mechatronic issues... my guess is that it would still be mechatronic related, as the rest of the transmission is standard mechanical items (aside from the clutch pack).

[@gustavososa4364]

Hi, which fluid do you recomend for the DSG gear box and for the Haldex box? May you tell me please? I am in Argentina, I need global marks to find it here. How often do I change both? Thanks.

[@EXOVCDS]

DSG every 40k miles, Haldex 20k miles, filter 40K.. We use Dealer fluid.

[@rafaelgomez1989]

Thomas EXOVCDS AWESOME VID, question: I have a 2010 VW CC, what is the HALDEX ?

[@tomekt8180]

Hi I got passat cc tdi 2011 2.0 blue motion, 6 manual transmission. Volkswagen sad dont need to change transmission fluid because its for whole car life. What do You think?

[@EXOVCDS]

If it has a drain plug & a fill plug... fluid can be changed.

[@lauritzkaasaandersen4990]

hello, thank you for a good video. how long is the oil level tube? the one fitted with a 8mm hex key? will I be able to open the oilpump without draining for oil? Best regards Lauritz

[@EXOVCDS]

Not sure... remove the cover and see how much comes out. The service manual says to drain the oil first.

[@turbo1986mustang]

Can you use a laser thermo gun to measure the transmission temperature? Or does a normal OBD scanner able to pull up the transmission temperature?

[@EXOVCDS]

Normal obd2 scanner only talks to ECM. You can try an IR gun on the front oil pan, but scan tool is best. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jH-1lWOigJyChbM

[@kerry-annecocker6305]

Hi there can you fill the trans through where the trans filter is up top or does it need to be pumped in? cheers

[@EXOVCDS]

It can be done from the top (I have not done so, I have heard of people doing it that way)... but it takes a long time. Blauparts sells the adapter that is required to fill from the bottom. www.blauparts.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=dsg&cat=3 All you need is a long hose so that you can fill while standing in front of the car. The long hose will allow you to stand and the fluid will run down the tube, and up into the transmission from the bottom.

[@TRiBaL1981]

Hi. I recently bought a used Mk6 Golf Gti with 78.000Km on the clock. The previous owner had the dsg oil and filter replaced on time but i'm not sure if it was done properly or even the correct oil was used because he didn't do it to vw mechanic. The car runs well but i'am thinking about going to the dealer to change it again. Is this method good enough or should i ask for a full flash where special equipment is used to drain everything out of the box? What would you recommend in this case?

[@EXOVCDS]

This is what they do at the dealership... as far as I know (according to service manual).

[@TRiBaL1981]

Thomas EXOVCDS Alright then. I also just noticed there is oil on the lower end of the mechatronic cover all across. Overfill maybe? I'm worried now...

[@EXOVCDS]

Could be over fill or just age of seals.

[@NubianLion7]

Great vid!! To bad I dont have a lift...VW Dub mechanic here I come😎

[@EXOVCDS]

Thank you for watching!

[@MrJhenss]

Hello Thomas, many thanks for such an excellent and detailed video. I would like to know if the oil has to be at any specific temperature before draining it. Many thanks in advance for your support.

[@EXOVCDS]

No specific temperature for draining. If your engine is cold, you can let the engine run for 5 minutes... to warm up the transmission oil "a little bit". You don't want it too warm, because the warmer it is, the longer you have to wait for the temperature to come down below 35c (for checking fluid level). Even if you add cold fluid, the warm transmission will warm up the fluid and fluid temperature will be more than 35c before you even finished putting everything back together.

[@MrJhenss]

Great Thomas, again many thanks for your prompt reply. God bless you for your time and support.

[@jerryreding7369]

I have a 2014 Passat (1.8T, Wolfsburg Edition, 6 sp). I was looking at a local parts supplier website, and they don't show any of the Euro brands (which I prefer, but very expensive!). One of the options they listed is Castrol Transmax (P/N 3518): is this acceptable for my VW? I use the Castrol Edge motor oil, so I'm hoping the trans fluid will work fine, too..?

[@EXOVCDS]

DSG or 6sp manual?

[@jerryreding7369]

6 sp auto

[@EXOVCDS]

I'm not sure what the actual spec is for that year / that transmission. Get the info from the dealer and then check if that spec is on the back of that bottle.

[@jerryreding7369]

I actually went that route yesterday. Go figure, the dealer recommended a Euro brand that was far beyond my current budget. I did, however, discover that Valvoline Maxlife was recently approved by VAG for my application.

[@davidc6666]

I have an 06 2.0 B6 passat with 138k. I got it w 82k in 2010, so it's not driven a ton. However it has started a slight whining when put in drive vs. in neutral. It's clearly a drivetrain noise, and likely the transmission. I thought about a transmission oil change and inquired from the dealer, but they said that was likely not a good idea with the higher miles. Would you agree that doing this on a car with over the 125-140 miles is not good? Or is this just a bunch a baloney from my local VW dealer? thanks D. BTW- thanks for posting your video of this

[@EXOVCDS]

There is some truth to that. If the whine us caused by a bearing or gear(s)... changing the fluid is not gonna help (in my mind). If the whine comes & goes while you are at cruising speed, the noise could be the differential ring gear. As the gear is loaded & unloaded between pulling the car and being pushed (vehicle inertia), a noise like that is quite common on older vehicles in general (no matter the make & model).

[@gtmike916]

Does this also work for the 09G Aisin 6-Speed Tiptronic or no?

[@EXOVCDS]

Similar principle / procedure.... IIRC.

[@stefanskaltigins8746]

Hi Thomas. After DSG oil change gearbox doesnt perform like it used to before. I have lost neutral gear during driving downhill when driving in "D". Before oil change gearbox automatically disengaged from gears when accelerator wasnt pressed on. Any idea what the issue might be? Highly appreciate any tip, thanks in advance!

[@EXOVCDS]

I haven't had that issue before, so I can't say what it might be... sorry. Check the Transmission for fault codes. Ask Tom at "Positive Leads Diagnostics" for his opinion. kzbin.info/door/iFSILHjs5XZecZJDwn7ieA

[@stefanskaltigins8746]

Thomas EXOVCDS, checked for all faults-nothing on trasmission! Upon further check of my cc, found that auto stop function is not working too! Maybe its somehow connected to hearbox? No errors tho, any ideas Thomas? Thanks in advance!

[@jjsiegal1]

Thomas...thanks very much for your videos. I have 2007 Passat...w/ no Reference to a Cylinder on Top of Tranny...Part Stores only refer to a Filter 'Inside the Pan'.... **What am i missing?**

[@EXOVCDS]

If your transmission has an oil pan at the "bottom" of the transmission, then you have an "automatic" transmission that has a filter inside the transmission. This video is for a DSG (standard transmission with automatic controls)... which has an oil pan at the "front face" of the transmission.

[@jjsiegal1]

@@EXOVCDS You da man...Thanks Thomas !

[@paulwary]

Id rather fill from the top as Ive seen several videos do. Can anyone tell me the hole diameter under the filter? Im thinking one of those narrow-neck Nulon diesel fuel additive aluminium bottles might fit in there, to use as a funnel.

[@EXOVCDS]

You'll have better luck getting an answer, posting under one of those videos.

[@lassenielsen5492]

wich oil is used ? i just cant figure out why it aint red like normally atf

[@EXOVCDS]

Because it's not a normal Automatic Transmission. www.blauparts.com/vw-passat-dsg-transmission-fluid-change-kit.html

[@silviuguseila2552]

"33-34 degrees", "36 degrees too much", yet the manual says level should be checked anywhere between 35 to 45 Celsius. I would try to target 40 to be safe (in the middle of the recommended range). Any reason you took 35 as the max?

[@EXOVCDS]

35c leaves a bit more fluid in the transmission.... that's my safe side.

[@noblevengeance312]

I’m getting a transmission tune for the 2.5L 6AT DSG. Would you recommend I do a fluid bleed and change before I install the flash tune or after? And would I need to even do it at the moment, with my car being at 80,749 miles?

[@EXOVCDS]

What does your tuner say?

[@noblevengeance312]

Thomas EXOVCDS it’s not an actual tuner. It’s a downloaded software that is flashed through the OBD II into a new ECU. I receive it on Monday but I was wondering if I should change this fluid before or after the tune is installed.

[@EXOVCDS]

I don't think it will matter (if you change it a bit late / after)... if it's do for a change, might as well change it. Every 40K, right?

[@noblevengeance312]

Thomas EXOVCDS yeah I guess so. I’m at 80k now so it’s probably time

[@anasag1]

THANKS

[@EXOVCDS]

+anasag1 Thank you for watching!

[@abnad2827]

Your video very successful, but for my part when I changed the oil of my Gearbox dsg6 170cv it was very dark and the filter also, is that normal? Also after 35°C it rejected 1L7 of oil and kept 4L3, what do you think? The worst is that my box makes a weird noise when I accelerate to launch the vehicle. What can come this problem because before the emptying I had no noise? Thank you for helping me with your useful advice

[@EXOVCDS]

I am not sure... sorry. I can only suggest checking the fluid level again (let transmission cool and check again at 35c). It is best to go to a transmission shop, so that they can test drive the vehicle.

[@abnad2827]

How can i verify that the double clutch is tired?

Oh hey, VW made a serviceable transmission... Amazing! There's actually a neat little trick to working out torque specs for parts like that, so you don't have to go nuts trying to find it. What you do is take the circumference of the cap, root it over the inverse of the cube of the diameter of the base, multiply by Beethoven, and you get the sum of Plastic and Aluminum, which I believe you'll find is "Snug." ;D Sorry, felt like being a dork. :]

[@khaledjobs1214]

i have tiguan r lien How much oil does the car carry? boit aoutomatic 6 vitesse

[@EXOVCDS]

I usually drain 4.5L out of a DSG transmission. I fill with 5L and then drain until "dripping" when the fluid temperature is at 35c.

[@GigiBeleaDK]

If you first drain the oil from the gearbox then the oil running out the filter won't happen. Also no need to remove battery to change the DSG filter. Just remove air filter and you will have place beside it. But nice and clean work.

[@EXOVCDS]

Thank you for the tips... had I done it that way, people would say "you have more room with the battery out of the way". LOL... I can't win. Thanks for watching! =)

[@EXOVCDS]

Not a hero cam... video glasses. Thanks again for the tip!

[@hanialsisi]

Hi, if you had drained the oil in the first time, you you got to drain it again after you replaced the new transmission filter?

[@EXOVCDS]

No why. I'm not sure what you mean. Remove the filter first, then drain the transmission. If you drain the transmission and then insert the drain plug... some fluid will drain into the transmission when you remove the filter... but that should not be a big deal / issue.

[@hanialsisi]

Thomas EXOVCDS sorry for the unclear clarification.....I mean why there is too much oil has been drained after you got to change the gear shifts ??? and exactly after you removed the hose which is connected to the gearbox ????

[@EXOVCDS]

Hany Alsisi Follow the instructions in the service manual. Fill the transmission with MORE oil than you need... then, start the engine, once the thransmission fluid is at 35c, remove the drain plug and let drain until the level is correct (slow dripping of fluid).

[@VENUEATHENS]

Hi Thomas, hope you're doing great.. I've got a 2004 A4 1.8T AMB engine with CVT Multi-tronic transmission.. I've recently attempted to change my ATF fluid and Exterior filter.. Had few issues, wondering if you would offer some of your expert advice, possibly shedding some light.. Car is in the Air on jacks, on level ground.. 1 -- Engine was running until trans was hot enough to drain the fluid around best around 45c (A little over 6quarts flowed out, while engine off). 2 -- I then replaced the Exterior filter (Made by Cohline $130). 3 -- afterwards I pumped 5.5 quarts in with a hand pump that looks like a bug sprayer, system was pressurized (10-15psi small hand pump bug spray type) with an adapter for the audi fill plug which screws on to fill port. 4 -- While adapter still on the fill plug and hand pumps small valve shut, I attempted to cycle through the gears PRNDS, however a terrible sound came on (like making a bad shift on manual car or traction control going on), felt resistance from the brake pedale against my foot, with the ABS light coming on, indicating possible brake failure.. Not sure if the brakes are somehow in sync with the trans. 5 -- Possible mistakes made, the adapter not removed from fill port, prior to starting engine/shifting through gears.. 6 -- first attempt didn't allow trans to reach 35 to 40c to allow excess fluid to drain out, or add more fluid as needed, then allowing excess fluids to completely drip out and stop without allowing heat to get passed 42c, possibly losing too much fluid in that instance. 7 -- Second attempt removed the fill plug adapter that screwed on with the hose and valve, which attached to the bug spray style pump hand pump that pressurizes.. Used different pump, multipurpose hand pump from Harbour freight with two hoses, one inlet, the other outlet (fit inside fill port perfectly and was not screw on style, completely blocking fluid from dripping out once reaching required fill temps). 8 -- Fluid was pumped in with the harbour freight pump ( allowed excess to pour out), afterwards when no more was possible to be filled at recommended temps, fill plug was put back on, and I attempted to shift through the gears again with foot on the brake, 2 seconds on each gear.. 9 -- Although that aweful sound happened again as though making a bad shift on a manual car, or when the traction control goes on and makes a strange sound.. it seemed as though the trans had a hard time shifting into reverse, (neutral was fine) then it had hard time again shifting to D.. I felt pressure again from the brake pedal pushing against my foot again, the ABS light came on, along with traction control light, and another light indicating brakes failed.. 10 --I am not sure if the sound was the ATF fluid going through the system forcing out air bubbles, or whether the abs/brakes responding the way it did along with traction control, was because the car is in the air with the tires dangling freely.. I fear i might have caused damage to the Trans or abs system/traction control.. 11 -- Any advice or feedback you can offer, would be great help and very much appreciated.. * I might attempt to drain the fluid out, and retry the process, measuring how much comes out that i filled, and using only the harbour freight hand pump this time to fill the trans, allowing excess fluid to pour out at recommended fill temps without plugging the fill port, allowing excess ATF fluid to drip out.. Hopefully this can also help others who might attempt to replace their ATF fluid & filter in the future! Best Regards, Tony

[@EXOVCDS]

I already replied to you.... I said that I was going to reply to you after I got home from work. You posted this THREE TIMES under 3 different videos. I don't know if I should reply any further now.

[@EXOVCDS]

If the wheels were OFF, put one lug bolt back in the rotor / hub on each side of the car. With the brakes applied, the hub was still spinning even though the brakes were holding the rotor. The sound you heard was the parking link trying to grab the park ring. The ABS kicked-in because the drive shafts were spinning. You only need to send me ONE message.

hello, i would like to ask you one think....i have a VW G6 1.2 TSI with MHV 0AH transmission....i want to change the oil in it...but i have a bit dillema....on the manuals they say that the oil must be refilled thru the hole on the diff...cant it be refilled thru somewhere else ? Maybe a stupid question but i need to know...maybe you will have som experience with that

[@EXOVCDS]

I'm not familiar with that engine / transmission (I would have to find information)... it the differential has a fill plug, why not use it?

[@aceultimate4393]

im just asking about it because theres little space for that to even get to the bolt on the diff...when i see some other trans...they also try to refill the oil thru the reverse light switch...and i dont know if i can try to refill the oil also thru there

[@EXOVCDS]

You probably can... but it most likely will take a lot longer (smaller hole) and you can't check if the level is correct. I'd have to check the service manual myself to see what exactly is involved. Year & model of vehicle?

@@ktam9602 Dual Dry Clutch system has 2 fluids... one fluid for gears and the other fluid for Mechatronic. 1.7L for gears and 1L for mechatronic. Service info says changing of fluid is not necessary. "It is not possible to check the fill level of the hydraulic fluid part of the mechatronic unit for dual clutch gearbox . If any oil escapes from the hydraulic fluid part of the mechatronic unit for dual clutch gearbox -J743-, it is not possible to replenish it or check the level! If oil escapes from the gear oil part, it can only be rectified by changing the gear oil. It is not possible to check the fill level.

[@floriandancea]

Hi is that oil for servodirection? 🤔

[@EXOVCDS]

Sorry I don't know what you mean. This is DSG transmission fluid (wet clutch transmission fluid). If you have a "dry clutch" DSG, this video does not apply to your transmission.

[@danielfl.9347]

Standard procedure is to let it drain for 20 minuttes. At 6:55 there would still be around 2-400 ml fluid in the gearbox which needs to be drained. This is due to the oil hiding small places. Therefore it is incomplete. Now you know. I am pretty sure that it is NOT stated in the workshop guide, which is a bit odd. The same counts for the 1. gen TSI (BMY) where even the engine oil needs to drain for at least 20 minutes. If not almost half a litre remains in the system.. Very odd design by VW.

[@EXOVCDS]

I took possession of a car last year that had been sitting for 10 years... I looked down the oil filler cap hole and saw oil sitting in the top of the head... 10 years!!! Engine or transmission... you can't get all the oil out. 500ml is nothing to be concerned about... that's why there's no mention / no need to mention it in the service info. Good to know that you are doing it correctly... I'm sure many of my viewers will take the extra 20min. Send me your mailing address and I'll send you some of my channel stickers.

I did my homework an the filter is in the oil pan. He as for my vin and phoned me back giving me the new price $890.

Apparently, some DIY'ers add the fluid through the filter hole before installing the filter. It takes longer, but you don't need a special tool / pump then.

[@EXOVCDS]

Initial fill in factory: 6.9 to 7.2 L depending on vehicle and trans‐ mission build date Replacement capacity in service approximately 5.2 liters

[@EXOVCDS]

It is impossible to drain all the fluid out... that is why fluid level is checked at 35c. At minimum, add the same amount that was drained. But to get the level correct, a slight overfill has to happen... so that the fluid can be drained to the correct level at 35c.

[@nathanialtheking9490]

When I first got the car I tried to find where I can check the fluids under the hood but unfortunately u can’t

[@EXOVCDS]

It really isn't... it looks more difficult than it is. Drain, fill, check level at correct temperature, done.

[@EXOVCDS]

When a transmission is "dry / not leaking fluid"... it's usually OK to assume that fluid level is OK / does not need to be checked. If a leak were present, you'd have to find & fix the leak before checking for correct fluid level. Since recommended service of filter & fluid is 40k miles. It's not a frequent thing that needs to be done... manufacturers removing engine oil dipsticks is more of a nuisance.

[@nathanialtheking9490]

Thanks bro 👍any idea how much the dealership charges to flush and refill the transmission or an oil change last oil change my wife took to pep boys and I was scared they used the wrong oil

[@EXOVCDS]

It is what it is... Canadian prices will be different than US. Independent shops will charge less than the dealer. Depending on where you go, they might do things differently. Drain & only fill what was drained (not check at correct temperature). I understand wanting to DIY... tools & service info are readily available. Depending on the job, having someone do it can be cheaper in the long run. I've helped guys fix something over a two week period... that could have been done buy a shop in 6hrs. 6 x $/he might seem a lot, but 2 weeks without a car (for me) sounds worse. If you already have all the service info, you're ahead of the game! =)
