When it comes to the DSG I just get genuine VW. Cheap insurance.

I had a Vaico leak...Febi is more recommended. I usually buy the Vaico filter, save their o-ring for a spare, and buy a VW o-ring separately.

On my first DSG service I did all FEBI including oil and had no leaks or issues. I think I went 25k on that interval.

I ran all Motul DCTF on the last change, shopDAP had a great deal on the kit. Shifts have been great.

Have you noticed any difference with the Motul? I'm using Redline DCTF right now seems to be working fine for the past 20k.

I used LiquiMoly fluid & Febi filter last time. Have about 25k on it since. Zero issues. Think I paid about $80 total for the kit.

I think any of these are fine. I do feel shifts are more crisp with the Motul vs OEM. I noticed some sluggishness near the end of the VW fluid, that doesn't happen with the Motul.
