Boy they sure did !!!! lol BUT, as easy as the transverse DSG in the Passat was, i see that after those who've done their due dilligence before opening their big mouths, unlike myself, this is easier than the Passat! Digging the filter out from under the battery tray was the worst part of the of the whole thing.

I see people saying $500 is not a lot of money, I've seen the price range from the upwards of $700! It's insane. You can buy all the tools and materials you need to do it for less than $300, and then be able to use all those tools for other jobs that the dealer would charge an arm and a leg for!
If I can do it you can too.. A friend and I did it and filmed doing a fluid service in 3 hours. You just gotta take a deep breath and look at what you're really paying for.
Here's my 8 minute DIY video:
I have listed the tools I used and recommended alternatives. The OBDEleven scan tool is not something I have yet, but looks like it would do the trick for $80. (And you can definitely forego the pump tool kit for $80)

The video at least gives you a good idea of what's involved regarding the fluid change.
