Automatic gearbox problems

[MargUK]

DQ381 is still a wet clutch so it could still be low on fluid either way. Hopefully it's something simple like that! Keep us updated OP, I'm interested to see how it goes.

I will - no problem!

If it was done then I imagine the invoice/receipt included would say it. As I say it often gets neglected, so I doubt the dealer that sold it would have bothered, and would likely have opted for basic service.

I would avoid driving it far without sorting it out, but a short journey *might* be okay.

If you can't find any history of a DSG service, and the car is on more than 40k mile, I recommend taking it to a VAG specialist to have the DSG serviced ASAP

Regarding oil service:
DQ381 7 speed oil service is 120,000km = 75k miles (UK dealers are calling it 80k miles)
It's the DQ250 6 speed with the 40k mile service.
