We were quoted £40 by a main dealer for our company GTE when it was in for warranty work.

that's cheap my local independent dealer doesn't do the dsg service as he said you need special tooling might just take it to vw silverlink just with the milage

Sounds right. It uses quite a lot of oil which is expensive, and should be done for the sake of your dsg

VW UK publish recommended fixed price servicing costs.

Currently £184 for DSG transmission oil & filter change.

I added this to my service plan last year and as it gets spread out by a few extra quid each month you hardly notice it. Definitely don't want your DSG to go wrong....could be very expensive.

Presumably when you picked it up, if it was from a VW dealer on Das Welt Auto, it should have had all of the manufacturers servicing completed...

If that's the case, I'd be asking them to complete the servicing!
