The 7-speed DSG^® transmission has two separate, different fluid systems. One for the transmission fluid -arrow A- and one for the hydraulic fluid -arrow B-.

Only transmission fluids specific to the DSG^® transmission 0CG may be used. They are available as a replacement part. Using other oils can lead to function problems or can even cause the transmission to fail, for the specification.

Do not mix any >>additives<< into the oil.

Do not re-use drained transmission fluid.

CAUTION:

Be very careful when working with transmission fluid. Dispose of drained transmission fluid correctly.

It is not possible to check the transmission fluid level in the transmission. The only way to adjust the transmission fluid level is to replace the transmission fluid, for example, if the transmission is leaking fluid. Refer to TRANSMISSION FLUID, DRAINING AND FILLING .
