DSG Oil + Haldex Oil + Poly V-belt have never been replaced on a 103,000km Polo

Post by R826583 »

Upon having a look through my service manual I have noticed that the DSG Oil + Haldex Oil + Poly V-belt have never been replaced on my 2016 Polo which has done 103,000km. It has been serviced at a VW dealer regularly (it has had 7 services since being purchased). VAGPARTS, my distributor for VW parts in Australia notes that the DSG Oil + Haldex Oil should be replaced at 60,000km and that the Poly V-belt should be replaced at 90,000km.

None of this has been done! :(
Is this a cause for concern?

Does your car have four-wheel drive? If not, there is no reason to change haldex oil since it doesn't have a haldex pump.
The DSG oil doesn't have a service life either for your dry clutch DSQ7. The poly V-belt is usually done after 10 years or 210.000km I believe.

So no reason to worry.

It isn’t a 4WD, so no Haldex oil then.

Is the DSG dry clutch oil compartment sealed, or is the oil rated for the lifespan of the part? As in can I change the DSG oil, for good measure? I want to keep my DSG in top shape :D

Where I got confused originally is that the service manual had a tick in the ‘no’ box for the DSG Oil + Haldex Oil + Poly V-belt whereas the obviously non-existent parts (for example a diesel fuel filter) had a cross through the entire box, so I assumed they would do this for any non-existent parts.

Thanks for the help!
