Most manufacturers recommend servicing your DSG transmission every 60,000 km, although this may vary slightly depending on your vehicle model. Signs your DSG might need attention include:
If your vehicle feels like it’s hesitating between gears or lurching during acceleration, it could be a sign that the DSG fluid is degraded or that the clutch packs aren’t operating smoothly. This type of gear change should feel seamless in a DSG-equipped car, so any roughness is worth getting checked before it leads to more serious damage.
A noticeable shudder or vibration when pulling away from a stop is a common symptom of worn DSG clutch packs or contaminated transmission fluid. Left untreated, it can place extra stress on the transmission and lead to costly repairs. Regular servicing helps prevent this by keeping the fluid clean and maintaining proper clutch operation.
If a transmission warning light appears on your dash, it’s your vehicle’s way of alerting you to a potential issue within the gearbox or control system. This could relate to fluid quality, temperature problems, or an internal fault. A diagnostic scan during your DSG service will help identify the cause before it develops into a more expensive repair.
When your DSG gearbox starts to slip out of gear or struggles to accelerate smoothly, it’s often due to worn clutch components or low-quality transmission fluid. You might notice a delay in power delivery or inconsistent revs. Servicing the DSG system on time helps restore performance and protects against premature wear.
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s best to book in for a check before the problem gets worse.
A DSG service involves draining the old dual-clutch transmission fluid, replacing the filter (if fitted), and filling the system with fresh fluid that meets the manufacturer’s exact specification. We also reset adaptation values where required and carry out diagnostic scans to check for existing or developing faults. This service is essential for maintaining smooth gear shifts and preventing costly gearbox damage.

A DSG service involves draining and replacing the dual-clutch transmission fluid, fitting a new filter (if applicable), and running diagnostics to check the health of the transmission. This helps keep gear shifts smooth and extends the life of your DSG gearbox.
A typical DSG service takes around 1.5 to 2 hours. This includes draining the old fluid, replacing the filter, filling with fresh fluid and performing system resets or checks as needed.
Most manufacturers recommend servicing your DSG gearbox every 60,000 km or 4 years, whichever comes first. Some models, especially those with wet clutch systems, may require more frequent servicing depending on usage.
A full DSG service includes draining the old transmission fluid, replacing the DSG filter (if fitted), adding new fluid that meets factory specs, resetting the gearbox adaptations (if needed), and carrying out a fault scan and road test.
Signs your DSG needs servicing include jerky or delayed gear changes, shuddering when taking off, transmission warning lights, or poor acceleration. If you’re unsure, it’s best to get a professional opinion before the issue gets worse.
While some experienced DIYers attempt it, a proper DSG service requires specialised tools, fluid, and diagnostic equipment. It’s best done by a qualified technician to ensure the transmission is refilled correctly and the adaptations are reset.
Yes, DSG fluid breaks down over time and loses its ability to lubricate and cool the transmission. Skipping a DSG service can lead to rough gear changes, overheating, or even gearbox failure.
You can drive a DSG much like a traditional automatic, but it’s best to avoid habits like riding the brake on hills or creeping for long periods. A DSG behaves differently under load and benefits from smooth throttle inputs and full stops at traffic lights.
Skipping DSG services can cause fluid contamination, premature wear on clutch packs, overheating, and eventual mechatronic failure. These repairs are often far more expensive than regular servicing.
No, some DSGs have wet clutches and filters that need replacing, while others are dry clutch units with different fluid requirements. Our technicians identify your exact system and carry out the correct service for your vehicle.
