they need special tools to change fluid here a site to look at they got tools but its rental usa you also have to have vag diagnostic i would say to mesure the transmission temperature , thats how its done on old automatic that one is a manual gearbox with robot shifting the dsg

Father in-laws Jetta TDi with DSG cost $1000 for gearbox fluid change, at around 70,000K's I think.

I think its part of a 60k service, its an expensive one as it changes lots of precious fluids, and probably a couple of tires
$5-700 for 2tires, $1500 for therest.
120k service add timing belt$1000 ish +above.
Keeps it like new!
