Top tip: always refer to the Erwin Workshop Manual for the correct vehicle-specific interval, servicing instructions and filling capacities.
Curiously, for DQ381, which has a filter it seems, no recommendation to include it in the 80,000miles fluid change, though I'd think some people will change the filter along with the fluid at some
lower mileage, but as the filter is not listed in the parts listings, maybe it needs to be bought in via a BorgWarner agent, if in deed it exists and is possible to replace while the box is fitted to the car. Does this not begin to sound like what is the official VW Group take on scope of Haldex servicing against what trans experts recommend, ie VW Group recommend "quick and cheap" servicing on trans units, which might be why I keep seeing an evolving "DSG going for repair" frame in my normal VW Group parts department, ie they started off being single stand alone transit frames, and then evolved into stackable transit frames - or even frames to hold 2 DSG units and now stackable, saves a lot of space in the departure area, maybe because lots of them are being moved out for repair. That constant sighting of DSGs waiting for collection has always worried me a bit, maybe company cars get abused more than privately owned ones?
