Audi & VW DSG Service Explained
What is a DSG service and when does your Audi or VW need one? A Cranbourne West VAG specialist explains DSG oil/filter intervals and costs.
What is a DSG?
The DSG (direct-shift gearbox) is VW Group’s dual-clutch automatic in many Audi, VW, Skoda, SEAT and Cupra models. The wet-clutch versions need their own oil and filter service – separate from your engine service.
When is it due?
Most wet-clutch DSG (DQ250/DQ500) need a transmission oil and filter (mechatronic) service around every 60,000km. Skipping it is a leading cause of expensive DSG failures.
Signs your DSG needs attention
Jerky low-speed shifts, hesitation, or a flashing gear display mean it’s time to check – don’t wait.
