Im guessing its a dsg since you want to change the fluid

lots of videos on youtube that one above is not the best. I have posted one before which was much better but it was on the GTI. It showed a much more diy way of refilling through the filter hole.
Try a search on youtube for DSG and oil change.

Worth buying some £20 axial stands much more safe than wood chocks or bricks also worth buying a £20 trolly jack too much better than the widow maker oem jack.
