Guys

Quick question ref my wife's Altea XL, 2011, 1.6TDi DSG 7 speed: I'm reading conflicting views about whether this DSG box is sealed for
life, or whether it needs an oil & filter change at 40,000miles ?

Cheers

John

I have a Vw Golf mk6 1.6 DSG 7 which has the exact gearbox as Seat Altea. The point is that I have asked some local service and told me that there is no need to change the dsg oil fluid.
The car has 250000 km and now in the first gear the cars shakes and I'm concert that this is a gearbox issue.
I can order online the dsg oil change kit and change by myself. Does anyone know online website that sales dsg oil kit with reasonable shipping price.
My country is Albania (https://www.rentpoint.al)and this car is for rental propose.
Thanks
