The first part of the DSG transmission fluid change is not much different than any other vehicle fluid change, but you will want a Bentley manual on hand to make sure you are going about it correctly. The second part after the DSG transmission fluid is in your vehicle gets technical and will require you to use a VAG-COM cable. It’s not a hard job but you want to get it right, and going this route will save you hundreds of dollars compared to the dealer.
