I'll bring you along as I perform a fluid and filter change on my 2019 Golf R with the 7-speed DSG. I initially made the mistake of assuming it would be the same process as with the MK7 6-speed DSG, but I quickly found I was wrong. Different amounts and part number for the fluid. Different filter. You have to drain the mechatronic unit separately. Different level setting process.

Don't worry - I'll hook you up with the details!
