VW Polo Mk5 2010 DSG fluid change - what tool do I need?

[mightychipster]

Hi,

I gather from various sources that the VW Polo 2010 MK5 petrol auto gearbox has just the one drain/fill plug.

What insert do you recommend I need to purchase so I can fill up the transmission once drained.

Or, is it simpler to remove battery and tray to then remove dsg filter and fill from above?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Is the insert tool/adapter part number something like this..? VAS6262

I am about to do it on a similar engine.
Surely you are going to do the filter too ? That's where I intend to refill.
Quite a few u tube vids available. I have watched.

Something like this. Although you can buy the screw in adapters on their own, this will make your life easier. You also need something that will read the gearbox temp as you set the level. I assume yours is the 6 speed DQ250?

Yeh, I think whilst I'm replacing the filter I'll just use that to refil the fluid rather than below?

I think the Polo only used the dry-clutch seven speed DQ200.

If it’s the ill fabled DQ200, all bets are off….sealed for life,seperate oil for the mechatronics and gearbox itself. Also, DQ200 would not have the filter at the top( or anywhere else).

the sticker in the spare wheel well says

Just looked it up on VW Service Info, as above - there's no official procedure or tool to change the oil in these. Could it be you heard bad things about the 6 speed? Or is there an issue with your 7 speed?

That's the DQ200.
