Wish I had seen this years ago when our first T5 auto went out to lunch , I still reckon VW knew this was a problem here in Australia but chose to keep it quiet . My personal opinion is that they realised the mistake with "Sealed for Life "and as we now know the DSG not only can be service but also comes with a fluid cooler . Its along a winded video but John does explain things well .The truth about servicing automatic transmissions (even the sealed ones) — Auto Expert by John Cadogan - save thousands on your next new car!
