At how many kilometers should the transmission fluid be replaced for Golf 6?
2 Answers
Golf 6 should have its transmission fluid replaced between 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. The methods for replacing transmission fluid are: 1. Gravity replacement: After loosening the nut at the bottom of the oil pan, the transmission fluid will automatically flow out from the oil hole; 2. Machine replacement: Connect the transmission and the machine through pipeline interfaces to push out the old fluid with new fluid. Golf 6 is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4199mm, width 1786mm, height 1479mm, wheelbase of 2578mm, fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, and a body weight of 1300kg. Golf 6 is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum torque of 220Nm and a maximum power of 96kW.
My Golf 6 is equipped with a 1.4T engine and a dry dual-clutch transmission. The dealership initially told me it was maintenance-free, but by 50,000 kilometers, the gear shifts became as jerky as riding a horse. Later, I consulted an experienced mechanic and learned that the dry DSG must have its oil changed by 60,000 kilometers at the latest! The wet dual-clutch can last up to 80,000 kilometers, while manual transmissions are more hassle-free, allowing oil changes even at 100,000 kilometers. For friends who frequently encounter city traffic jams, changing the oil as early as 40,000 kilometers is advisable. Now, two years after the oil change, the transmission runs as smoothly as when it was new—definitely not an area to skimp on.
