New member with a problem

[Roy Blacburn]

Hi all i thought this would be a good place to start with my problem , here we go , i have a 2010 Audi A3 1.6 Tdi SE 5 door with the 7 speed dsg gearbox which i have owned from new , 2 years ago the dsg gearbox was replaced under warranty due to swarf in it , everything thing was fine until until under a recall the gearbox oil was replaced with mineral oil , now it hangs on to the gears to long in auto mode until it gets warmed up (i am talking in to the redline to long ) i want to change it back to semi or fully synthetic oil but cannot find any spec on witch oil to use , i know that the 6 and 7 speed take different oil , can anybody help ?

Hi Roy...welcome to the Forum

I would probably aim the question at Audi as they would more than likely have a Technical Service Bulletin on replacement oil specifications and would be advisable to check with them first.

Let us know how you get on with it

Audi was no help what so ever , but a phone call to our small local Skoda dealer and got all the details of the oil and filter that i needed !
