How often should I service my DSG gearbox?

Most VW and Audi DSG gearboxes should be serviced every 40,000 miles. This includes an oil and filter change to keep the system running smoothly.

What are signs my DSG gearbox needs attention?

Common signs include jerky gear changes, hesitation when pulling away, or warning lights. These often point to worn clutch packs or dirty oil.

Do you use genuine oils and parts?

Yes — we use only approved DSG oils, filters, and diagnostic tools (VCDS or ODIS) to match Volkswagen Group specifications. We also work with trusted performance brands like Millers Oils, Bosch, Mann, and Hummel to ensure every part meets or exceeds OEM quality.

How long does a DSG service take?

Most DSG and S tronic services take around 2 hours. We offer same-day turnaround with prior booking — and you can book online 24/7 at your convenience.
