1 Answers
Volkswagen 6-speed DSG transmission fluid is generally recommended to be changed every two years or approximately 40,000 kilometers. Signs that the transmission fluid needs to be changed include: vehicle shaking, gear shifting hesitation; transmission high-temperature warning on the dashboard; engine stalling; unusual noises. Different vehicle models have different change intervals. Below are the recommended change intervals for transmission fluid: Manual transmission: Manual transmission fluid is generally recommended to be changed every three years or approximately 100,000 kilometers. Automatic transmission: Automatic transmission fluid is generally recommended to be changed every two years or approximately 40,000 kilometers. Continuously variable transmission (CVT): CVT fluid is generally recommended to be changed every two years or approximately 60,000 kilometers. The methods for changing transmission fluid are as follows: Unscrew the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission to drain the old fluid and then refill. Remove the transmission oil pan directly to drain the old fluid and refill: This method is more thorough than the previous one, as it removes impurities from the bottom of the oil pan. Use a circulation machine to change automatic transmission fluid: Dynamic fluid exchange using an intelligent circulation machine can filter and clean sludge and impurities inside the automatic transmission.
