Hi,
I'm using my mk7 DSG Gti (2013/2014, non PP, German made) on track days. My car was OEM, and them I decided to buy a Wavetrac LSD.
The LSD will be deliveried here in Brazil next month, when I'll proceed with the installation.
My doubt now is: what oil should I use?
Motul recomends for DSG the DCTF. But Wavetrac recomends Motul Gear 300, even for LSD installed on DSG.
Serching about Gear 300 use on DSG, I found this information on APR website:
"Motul Gear 300 SAE 75W90 - 100% Synthetic Ester - 100% synthetic lubricant for all mechanical transmission of high performances and racing cars. For manual, synchronised or not synchronised gearboxes, gearbox/differential, transfer gearboxes and hypoid differentials without limited slip system. Not for use with DSG, S-Tronic, PDK, R-Tronic, E-Gear, Tiptronic, Automatic, Multitronic, CVT Transmissions." (https://www.goapr.com/products/motul_gear.html)
So, I have one company (the LSD manufacturer) recommending Gear 300, and another company affirming to not use Gear 300 on DSG.
Do you have any information about this?
Have anyone here installed LSD on a DSG Gti? What oil do you use?
I appreciate if someone can help.
