I get my DSG fluid from a local VW dealer. The cost is $17 per liter.

This is why I love the manual trans in my car. No need to worry about this kind of stuff.

Just thought I'd put that out there, lol.

Yes you yourself even quoted the part No.
"Audi/ VW DSG fluid part No. G 052 529 A2" LOL!

This is what I have been putting in the Ralliarts I have serviced including my own.

WTF? Where are you only seeing a $100 savings? You got savings on Labour, then the oil and the filter. Average price to get an SST fluid and filter change at dealers where I live is between $800 to $1100. I can buy Audi fluid for around $200 and filter from either SSP or Ebay for under $90 even with tax and shipping.

This isn't about just the fluid but everything need to be able to complete this fluid service on the car.

Yes I did quoted the part number, just want to verify with others and double check! Thanks to Jackal for the fluid part number and NFS for the FFL-2 container pics.

how so?

Jack posted;
FFL fluid is not the same as OEM
After switching he developed a leak
He also developed an odd slippage issue in fourth gear
He switched back and it magically fixed itself

Unless by FFL fluid he meant FFL-1,3 and 4 and NOT FFL-2?

On that note, I plan to stay on FFL-2 until said symptoms develop.

Since this cherry has been popped, I will fill you in on what I know.

SSP Pro Gold IS FFL-2 (also known as Audi/VW DSG fluid). Buy a can and check the color, if you want to. I ran DSG fluid in my car for 10,000 miles, and the transmission ran perfectly. You CAN use Porsche DPK fluid. To my knowledge, that is FFL-3. FFL-4 should be BMW DSG fluid. I hope that that helps.

I use FFL2 for about 25,000 miles now

I do all my own work so labor isnt't an issue, but to me risking $10,000 is to much. But I'm not much of a gambler I'm not saying that these other fluids won't work just that if people are worried about them just stick to the stock fluid thats all.

I did it, not only because it was cheaper but because it was a better fluid.
