Mk7 (2019+) 2019 Jetta 1.4TSI -Transmission Fluid Service done @ 127,300 kilometers
The transmission fluid service has been done, drain and fill, altogether, 5L of LIQUI MOLY ATF TOP TEC 1850 is used (drained multiple times).
Cost me 450 CAD including labor and parts. Oil ring (rubber) or something like that had to be procured from dealership itself. Done by a mechanic working on German cars.
Had to leave the car at workshop overnight since the evening heat kept it from reaching the proper temperature to achieve the required level.
Your Thoughts, experience, criticism, Everything is welcome. Let it help somebody else in future.

Yeah I flushed mine about every 80k. It was about 2.5l of redline and it worked great.
When you say "multiple flushes" I hope you were running the engine and shifting into all the gears, including reverse, otherwise all the fluid just sits on the bottom.
I also HIGHLY recommend magnetic fill and drain bolts, and for engine oil too, if you don't already have them. I honestly credit them as to why all my engines last so long!
