That's great! Thank you for letting me know. The car has gone into production now, so it would have been too late to switch it to a manual, but now I wouldn't want to. Thanks again!

Early results seem most encouraging.

The M-DCT is hydraulically activated, correct? Our old SMG unit developed pump problems at around 60K miles and I'm hoping the new system proves more reliable.

Thanks for the great information.

Hi,

When you guys change the M-DCT fluid I am assuming your are also changing the pressure filter as well.

Do you also need to change the 'Suction filter unit'?

Does anybody know what this suction filter unit does? I know it is some kind of filter but I already thought the pressure filter in the side of the gearbox was the filter so wondering what this suction filter unit actaully does.

Thanks.

I just picked up an E92 with DCT. Glad I saw this thread.
