A little bit concerned… Just had the big 120k service done on my Golf Alltrack TSI. Mechanic found a small amount of metal swarf in bottom of the filter when changing the transmission oil. The pieces are minuscule — maybe 1-2mm across, small metal filings. They’re quite fine to the point where they can be broken up in your fingers. All up, there were maybe 10-20 little pieces.

Mechanic wasn’t overly worried as there are no error codes, the transmission is working fine currently, and the 6 speed DQ250 wet clutch is a lot more robust than the problematic 7 speed.

Anyone with knowledge/experience around this? Should I be worried or look for a solution before it becomes a bigger problem?
