DSG fluid change time vs mileage
- Thread starter bcgti
- Start date
In the U.S. it's 4-years or 40,000 miles, so I wouldn't go over 60,000 km. Why cheap out? Can't you afford to service a car you bought for over $40K, or did someone give it to you for free? I guess you didn't bother changing the rear Haldex coupling either since the fluid costs 50 CD for a small jug?
Wow - how did you come to the conclusion that I was cheaping out or that I can't afford it or that the car was given to me for free or that I didn't change the Haldex fluid?????????
Any other accusatory statements based on my post??????

I changed my Haldex fluid at 22k miles, because of the mishap on the dyno. It looked relatively clean, no debris, filter was clean as well. I would venture to think that 30k mile service interval is a happy medium if you beat the shit out of the car like I do

The fuck?
Did you change the Haldex at 3 years? I didn't see you state you did, only get defensive. Guilty conscious?

Fed,
Read the original post all the way. He clearly states he is approaching 3 years and 30km which is below recommend service intervals. This is exactly why he is looking for advise. I know I did both haldex and day at the same time which was an early dsg service.
Just make sure to read it through before throwing out accusations and assuming the guy is looking to "cheap out".

I think it's easier to just follow the VW mainrence card recommendations. As a side note, I just had a VWOA CSR tell me something I already knew, that if you have an out of warranty issue they do look to see if you used a dealer for your maintenance when they consider helping you financially.
