DSG Gearbox replacement

[va1o]

Hi,

Probably a stupid question but if the DSG transmission is replaced in its entirety under warranty (6-speed wet clutch unit in a Golf Mk6) should an oil/ filter change be done at the same time as part of that job?

To me it seems a bit odd to replace the transmission but not do an oil change beforehand/ at the same time

Thanks

If the transmission is replaced it will be filled with new oil at install, you don't drain one and use that oil to fill another. I wouldn't expect it to be listed separately on any job sheet.
Eta engine oil and filter are different to transmission oil and filter, why the question

If you mean engine oil and filter then no as they are two totally sealed separate units.

Are you suggesting that they took the oil and filter from the old gearboxes and put it into the new one!?

Or that they just replaced all the internals in the old gearbox?

The paperwork and previous owner are saying it's been fully replaced.

Asking because I'm trying to ascertain when it's next due its 40k oil change, as I'm unsure whether this would have been done anyway as part of a gearbox replacement. I'm guessing it should have been but hoping someone can say for sure!

If the box was replaced that would be the whole unit and it would have had new oil and filter. 100%.
