DSG Transmission Service A DSG service needs to be carried out every 40,000 miles. Your DSG gearbox has two computer controlled clutches that work with very fine tolerances. When the gearbox oil is dirty it will affect the performance and damage other components. FLUID SERVICE Fluid maintenance is key in keeping a VW DSG transmission operating as designed. Volkswagen recommends a 150,000 fluid service interval for most DSG transmissions, but recommends a more frequent service interval if the vehicle is used for severe-duty or towing applications. Check the service information for the correct interval. Many of our customers make DSG® first as their full-service dental lab because of our consistent esthetic quality, reliable case consultation and personal technical support. We give personal care and attention to every single case, every patient, every smile, every time, so you can focus on what’s most important: your patients.

I’m overdue for my DSG service (Mk7 GTI). I saw videos of people doing these but they had the luxury of a lift. Would the service still work (fluid drain properly) if I use either ramps or a curb, or must the orientation be flat for this to work properly?

40,000 miles marks a significant time in your Volkswagen's life where you'll want to perform more in-depth maintenance tasks along with routine VW maintenance to ensure your vehicle the best performance and longevity. You will also need to perform this same maintenance checklist at 80,000 miles. For information on other service intervals, please see our Maintenance, Service, and Repair Information page.
