DSG Oil Change - End to Power Problems!
« on: December 11, 2012, 09:35:22 am »
Dear all

Having had problems with power under load and investigations by all manner of people, it turns out that the main stealer had not changed the DSG oil at 40k (or ever).

As my GTI had done over 100k by the time this was identified, I'm lucky that serious damage has not been done.

My power problems (subtle stuttering under load) was in 4th and 6th gears.

£150 for a DSG oil change - needs doing every 40k.

Have you approached the dealer asking for an explaination on why it wasn't done?
Without traction power is nothing!

They went bust!
Looking back they quoted me £350 for the service but only charged me £200 - the job card also states that spark plugs were out of stock and the car was booked back in which was total bull. No mention of the DSG oil.
Writing to VW UK about this...will post response.
