The procedures for chainging the oil on the DSG states it takes 5.5l when doing an oil change. From the workshop I was informed it tool 7 or 7.5 (can't rememeber which) - but I'm thinking they might have it confused with a "dry" transmission ?.... any ideas?

I have a 2006 2.0T - had it since brand new. Overall, car has been fine, however not without it's issues. One thing that has always been a problem is the length of time it takes this car to warm up. I live in a cold climate and in the winter it takes at least 5 - 10 minutes to get good...

I have a 2001 1.8 passat with an automatic transmission. When I put the car in reverse, it takes a few seconds for it to engage. I do not have any problems with all the other gears. Anyone else familiar with this problem?
