Found some stuff on the overseas forums -

Aparently the oil needs to be changed every 3 years.
So called up my service advisor and he did not have a clue about this.
Just wondering if other PP owners have had this done as my car will be approaching the 3 year interval in a few months.

Re: Golf 7 Gti - Performance Pack LSD Service
So called "service advisor" , They'll avoid it under service plan so they don't have to outlay the cost just like brake fluid changes despite the book advising that it should be changed.Sr20-gp wrote: ↑Tue Oct 30, 2018 3:43 pmYeah seen that now.ICE King wrote: ↑Tue Oct 30, 2018 3:31 pm Every 3 years ,

Doesn't seem to be difficult job , One nut out for drain and one nut out for fill.

Re: Golf 7 Gti - Performance Pack LSD Service
Recommended service is every 3 years , irrespective of mileage , Uses Haldex oil , Bottom drain and side fill - Hex nuts.
Some dealers won't have this listed a a service item despite it being in the book.

Re: Golf 7 Gti - Performance Pack LSD Service
How does this work? The electronic LSD's use the front brakes to give the effect of an LSD but they don't use proper mechanical LSD's.

No you are thinking of XDS.
The front E-diff uses wet clutches to lock the left and right driveshafts when required.

Re: Golf 7 Gti - Performance Pack LSD Service
Take the Service book with you to the dealer and pin point it out and hope it forms part of their discretion "Maintenance" plans
They will probably do it if you pay it out of your own pocket then again I wouldn't let them near the car if they don't know what you talking about. eish

Re: Golf 7 Gti - Performance Pack LSD Service
Hi bud. Did you manage to get VW to sort this out?
My advisor says he will need to plug the car in and then get a report on what items are due for service. Sending it in next month.
