Ordered one from FCP and then someone wanted $50 for a VW OE kit and I picked it up. Pentosin is the makers of the fluid for VW per internet. So I ran 5 quarts of VW, and half a quart of Pentosin. Pentosin looked and smelled identical, so fairly sure that might be right.
If you are ok running Pentosin in your DSG I got 5 quarts I can run you a deal on. Also have the 6spd filter from FCP, but that says "O.E." something. From FCP it sounded like it was OE, not a company calling itself OE. So not sure about that thing.

Right after fluid change the gears started grabbing during the warm up. So something changed, and I suspect the better shear and lower filter back pressure were throwing the trans off. After warm up and a few more stationary shifts it calmed down, and feels? better now.

You got vcds or something else?
Mine looks to be completely different in the fact the pan has to come off to change the internal filter. Double bonus if having an external filter as well. I have had my vcds forevere, got it for my 2001 S4 initially. I am not seeing the Pentosin listed in any of the kits for my car so i think I will pass but appreciate the offer.
