thanks. Yes the steering wheel light was on too and it went away.
Used an OBD scanner and found P025c code. But we just cleared it. Crisis averted. :thumbsup:

For those who used the measure-refill method - did you just raise the front of the vehicle with ramps/stands?
The transmission seems to sit fairly level even when on ramps.

Im going to be doing mine in the next 2-3 months... How many people use vagcom to check the transmission temp when doing the final drain? It seems like a lot of people are measuring what comes out and refilling...

The 4.7l in after flush is fail proof.
Works perfect every time.
17$ for oem filter + 60$ for 5 liters of Motul DCTF, my dsg is perfect at 168k

You dont need to drain nothing. Just measure 4.7l. It's been proven hundreds of times, on different forum (vwvortex i think).
The best method to do it.
If engine and oil are hot, you will do it even faster.

Just a question guys. I have had my DSG changed by the dealer as part of its maintenance plan.
My DSG tune wasnt too happy with it and I decided to flush out and reuse Motul DCTF that I had in before(really does have cooler temps).
I drained out 5.5L :yikes: Thats how much the dealer had used. I had all four corners of my car on jack stands and used a spirit level on the box to achieve a flush position. I filled up 5L of Motul, started the car, went through each gear slowly and pausing, waitinf for the temps to hit 35/36 degrees celsius, and then opened the drain hole. I waited for the overflow to come down to a drip and then I closed it. I measured the excess oil, was 500ML. So provided I did this correctly, my trans takes 4.5L and VW had overfilled by almost a full liter.
My question is, with such a large difference in quantity, should I assume the 4.5 to be correct. I topped it of to 4.7L just because I feared it may be slightly underfilled, but now I wonder if Im doing any harm by having that extra 200ml in

I usually plug it after i see it slow down and not drip. You should be fine, There must be some fluid left in there from the dealer.
