2009 VW Jetta TDI - DSG Service - Part I: The Filter

Part 1 of 2: 6 Speed DSG Transmission (02E) Filter replacement. Changing the filter is easy as can be, just a Filter and an O-Ring, but getting to it...some disassembly required. I had initially tried to replace the Oil Filter without removing the Battery and Battery Tray, as some folks had done. I was not able to physically remove the Filter Housing (Filter Cap) without forcing some rigid-plastic plumbing out of the way. I was not willing to risk cracking the plumbing for the sake of extracting the Filter Housing. I don't recommend it either, so just remove the Battery and Battery Tray as the Service Manual mentions. === A Homemade VAS 6262-type equivalent === The DSG Servicing Schematic I included in the video labels the adapter dimensions as 24Mx1.5mm, it's actually M24x1.5mm. If you make your own or obtain a suitable equivalent Filling Adapter, know that the plug depth is 1/2"...just look at the Drain Plug itself. For a ready-to-go Filling Adapter, look for P/N ATF16DSG. Visit www.toolsource.com here at $34 US. Then, all you need is about $2-worth clear tubing found at any hardware store and a $5 open-close valve also found at most hardware stores. Attach the valve to a DSG Oil bottle cap, then secure one end of the clear tubing to the other end of the valve...you are now ready to service your DSG. ---------- Visit the following pages for additional information: www.myturbodiesel.com Self-Study Program for the 02E DSG Transmission www.volkspage.net/technik/ssp/ssp ...
