This part is shared across the group. The Volkswagen, the Audi, the Seat and the Skoda all take it, it is the same component in four different boxes, and the price here is the same whichever badge is on your car. Choose your badge above for your records, not because it changes anything.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine: not engine dependent, but the gearbox is: tell us whether yours is a wet clutch or a dry clutch box and we will confirm the kit. This group changes specification mid production and does it on a platform basis rather than a model year basis, so two cars registered the same week can take different parts. Send us the VIN with the order and we check the part against the build data before anything is dispatched. It takes two minutes and it is the difference between a part that fits and a return.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction dates: 2003 to 2022 depending on platform and gearbox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuality: made by the firm that supplies the group, in that firm's own box rather than a dealer box. Same casting, same line, and on a group that shares parts across four brands this is where the saving actually is\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: cross referenced to the group part number for your VIN and confirmed before dispatch. We do not print one number against a listing that covers several supersessions, because on this group the supersessions are the whole point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe failure this addresses: There are two families of DSG and they want different things. The wet clutch boxes have an oil and filter service that is genuinely due every 40,000 miles and is genuinely skipped. The dry clutch seven speed has a mechatronic unit with its own small fluid charge and a well known failure record, and the symptoms are a shudder from rest, a refusal to select, or a limp home in third. Tell us which box you have and we will tell you which of those it is.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabour time: two to four hours for a service, five to seven for a mechatronic unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoding: a basic setting or adaptation is required after fitting, which is a five minute job with a proper diagnostic system and is not possible with a generic code reader. A mechatronic unit needs coding to the car and the clutch adaptation values reset, and a remanufactured unit from us arrives coded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso needed: the correct fluid in the correct quantity, a filter, a sump gasket and the fill plug seals, all in the kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque: sump bolts in sequence to a low figure. Overtightening the alloy sump warps the sealing face and you will be doing it again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterval: every 40,000 miles on the wet clutch boxes. The dry clutch seven speed has no scheduled gear oil change and does have a mechatronic fluid charge, which is a different thing and is where the confusion comes from\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approximately 12.6 kilograms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: two years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWet or dry: the six speed and the later seven speed wet clutch boxes take a proper oil and filter service every 40,000 miles. The dry clutch seven speed does not, and telling people it does is how a lot of unnecessary work gets sold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilling to temperature: the level is set at a specified fluid temperature with the car level. A box filled cold and by eye is either over or under and both do damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymptoms worth acting on: a shudder pulling away from rest, a hesitation before drive engages, a jerk between first and second, or a limp home in third. All four get worse and none get better\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdaptations: reset and drive a relearn cycle afterwards, or the box shifts on pressures it learned from tired fluid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat arrives\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe correct fluid in the correct quantity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe external filter and the internal filter where the kit includes it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe sump, gasket and fill plug seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe mechatronic unit where the package includes one, coded to your car\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea fill adaptor and a temperature procedure card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe labour and the adaptation reset where fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitting\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo to four hours for a service. The fill is what goes wrong: the level is set at a specified fluid temperature with the car level and the engine running, and there is no way to do it accurately with a jug and an opinion. Choose the fitted option and it is done properly with the adaptations reset and a relearn drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich version to buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are two families of DSG and they want different things. The wet clutch boxes have an oil and filter service that is genuinely due every 40,000 miles and is genuinely skipped.

Tell us which box you have and we will tell you which of those it is. The 40,000 mile service on a wet clutch box is the single highest value preventive job on one of these cars, and it is skipped on most of them because the service schedule does not shout about it. If your box is a dry clutch seven speed, do not let anybody sell you a gear oil change it does not need.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wolfsburg Direct","offers":[{"title":"Parts only","offer_id":59218559533404,"sku":"WBD-DSG-014-PO","price":1149.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Parts and fitting at our workshop","offer_id":59218559566172,"sku":"WBD-DSG-014-PF","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/3791\/3692\/files\/DSG_Service_with_an_Adaptation_Reset_and_Relearn_in_OE_Supplier_909bf97b-51fe-4a09-a327-9c7e6008cddd.jpg?v=1790165573"}],"url":"https:\/\/wolfsburgdirect.com\/collections\/over-500.oembed","provider":"Wolfsburg Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
