Replaces the external spin-on oil filter (02E-325-429D) and oil pan gasket on the VW/Audi 02E DQ250 6-speed wet DSG so the fluid stays clean and the pan reseals.
If you are doing a full oil service on a six-speed wet DSG in a 2004-2014 Golf, GTI, Jetta, Passat, CC, Beetle or EOS, or an Audi A3, TT or Q3, and you already have the oil, this is the parts side of the job without paying for fluid twice. The kit is listed for the VW/Audi 02E, also called the DQ250, under reference 02E 325 429 D. As pictured it contains a replacement cartridge filter element with its O-ring, a pan strainer and a fluoroelastomer oil pan gasket, so the pan can come off, the sump side can be cleaned and the box reseals without the weep you get from reusing an old, heat-set gasket.
The 02E runs everything from one oil supply. Volkswagen's Self-Study Program 308 lists 7.2 liters of DSG oil that applies and cools the two wet clutches, works the gear actuators in the mechatronic and lubricates the gear set, all fed by an internal gear pump that turns at engine speed and can deliver up to 100 liters per minute at about 20 bar main pressure. The cartridge filter in the housing on top of the case is the pressure-side filter that protects the mechatronic valves; VW shows it beside the oil cooler on the outside of the gearbox. The strainer on the sump side stops larger debris before the pump picks it up. With two wet clutches slipping in that oil on every shift, both catch clutch material for the life of the oil, which is why they are changed together on a full service.
Read the transmission codes and the clutch and oil temperatures before deciding what the box needs. A pressure sensor fault can come from low oil pressure, wiring or a failing mechatronic, and our DSG line pressure testing guide shows how to tell which. For shudder and judder, the DQ250 mechatronic and clutch guide explains when fresh oil and filters are enough and when the clutch pack or mechatronic is the real problem. If you also need oil, the complete DQ250 service kit with 5 liters of fluid is the better buy.
This kit is listed for the VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda 02E six-speed wet DSG, roughly 2004-2014: Golf, GTI, Jetta, Passat, CC, Beetle and EOS, Audi A3, TT and Q3, and the Seat and Skoda cars that share the gearbox. It does not fit the seven-speed dry DQ200 (0AM), the DQ500 or the DQ381, all of which appear in some of the same model lines. Before ordering, confirm the gearbox code on the case or build sticker and compare your old filter and strainer to the ones pictured. If you are unsure, send us the year and VIN. All of our dual-clutch parts are on the DSG collection page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
As pictured, the kit has both the cartridge filter element that sits in the housing on top of the case and a pan strainer, plus the pan gasket. Compare the pictured parts to the ones you remove before you start.
No. This kit is filters and gasket only. Buy DSG oil to the G 052 182 specification separately, or choose our DQ250 service kit that includes 5 liters of fluid.
No. It is for the six-speed wet 02E (DQ250) only. The seven-speed DQ200, DQ500 and DQ381 use different filters.
The listing quotes about every 40,000 miles along with the oil. Change them sooner if the car tows, sees hard launches or the oil comes out dark and burnt.
It is not worth it. An old gasket takes a set from heat cycling and tends to weep once the gearbox warms up. The new fluoroelastomer gasket is included for that reason.
