Question 001:
Q: What is DSG? What are DSGs? What is the difference? What cars are installed on?

A:DSG ( from him. DirektSchaltGetriebe or English. Direct Shift Gearbox) - a family of preselective robotic transmissions with dual clutches, installed on cars of the VAG concern (Audi, Volkswagen, Skoda, Seat).

DSG7 0СJ	wet	longitudinal	2.0	full (Ulta Quattro, with electromechanical clutch)	400Nm	Audi: A4 (8W - from 2016).

Looking at the table, you can draw some simple conclusions:
1. DSG with "dry" clutches, as a rule, are installed on less powerful engines, because are able to "digest" a smaller moment.
2. If you have 4WD, then you have wet clutches.
3. If you have a DSG and a motor "along", then you have an Audi :-)
4. Apparently, the age of the legendary all-wheel drive Audi Quattro with the famous Torsen differential is coming to an end.
Question 002:
Q: How do I know which box is installed on my car?
A: Option 1: Connect the diagnostic device to the vehicle, enter block 02 - Gearbox electronics and read the identification data. The first three characters of the box ID and mechatronics designate your box.
For example: 0AM 300049H is a seven-speed DSG with dry clutches of the 0AM type. Or 02E 300051R - six-speed DSG with wet clutches type 02E, etc.
Option 2: Look by the VIN-code of the vehicle in the electronic spare parts catalog ETKA.
Option 3: Send the VIN-code of the car to our address, we will check and send you an answer.

Question 003:
Q: How is the S-tronic for Audi different from the DSG for VW / Skoda / Seat?
A:Nothing. Except for boxes 0B5, 0CK / 0CL and 0CJ, which are installed only on audi.

Question 004:
Q:What kind of oil is used in DSG?
A:For convenience, we have formulated the answer in the form of a table:

Type of	Butter	Replacement interval (manufacturer recommended)
DSG7 0AM (DQ200)		for the entire service life
DSG6 02E (DQ250)	Refueling volumes: up to 6.9l - full filling up to 5.5l - oil change Filter element: 02E 305 051 C	60 000
DSG7 0B5	Gearbox oil DSG G 052 529 up to 7.5l - full filling up to 6.7l - oil change Filter element: 0B5 325 330 A	60 000
DSG7 0BT / 0BH (DQ500)	Gearbox oil DSG G 052 182 up to 7.6 - full filling up to 6.0l - oil change Filter element: 0BH 325 183 B	60 000
DSG7 0CW (DQ200)	In the box: Gearbox oil G 052 512 - 1.9l In mechatronics: Hydraulic oil G 004 000 - 1l	for the entire service life
DSG7 0D9 (DQ250)	In the box: Gearbox oil DSG G 052 182 Refueling volumes: up to 6.9l - full filling up to 5.5l - oil change Filter element: 02E 305 051 C In the dispenser: G 052 145 - 0.9L	60 000

Question 005:
Q:What is mechatronics?
A:Mechatronic (mechatronic, mechatron, valve body, brain) is an electronic-hydraulic gearbox control unit. Perhaps the most important, but at the same time, the most unreliable component in the entire transmission.

Question 006:
Q:What is the difference between mechatronics?
A:Each type of DSG has its own type of mechatronics. Mechatronics from different DSG types are not interchangeable. Moreover, for some types of DSG, there are several generations of mechatronics that also differ from each other. And for each type and generation of mechatronics, there are many software versions designed for different engines and different gear ratios in the gearbox. In some cases, mechatronics of the same type can be reprogrammed (reflash) for installation on different vehicles. You can read more about the firmware.

Question 007:
Q:Which DSG is better / more reliable?
A:There is no definite answer to this question. Each type of DSG has its own advantages and disadvantages. And the duration of the "life" of any DSG largely depends on the conditions of its operation, such as:
- Ambient temperature. All DSGs do not like overheating, especially DSGs with "dry" clutches, in which the mechatronic has a separate oil circuit and there is no cooling;
- Driving mode. Those who spend several hours every day in traffic jams have more chances to come to replace mechatronics than those who mainly travel long distances along the highway;
- Driving style. Those who like to "give a corner" and "light up at a traffic light" have a much higher probability of getting a replacement clutch and differential than those who prefer a quiet ride.

Question 008:
Q: I have DSG7 0AM.Do I need to switch the selector to neutral when standing at a traffic light or in a traffic jam?
A: No need.Unlike conventional manual gearboxes, the clutch on the DSG7 0AM is normally open. And it closes only when the mechatronic starts to extend the clutch release rods. When you (or autohold) hold the car in place by pressing the brake, the mechatronics clutch rods are retracted and the clutches are open. Accordingly, no load is transferred to the gearbox or clutch. In what position the selector knob is in this case - it does not matter.

Question 009:
Q: Over time, there were jerks when changing gears. Previously, the car was running fine, shifting was smooth, but recentlyjerks and shocks appeared when shifting gears. Can this be fixed by reprogramming the box ECU (software update)?
A: No, you can't. The software cannot "deteriorate" over time and cause the CP to malfunction. If the car previously drove correctly, and then stopped, then the problem lies in the hardware, and not in the software.
Reprogramming the mechatronics can only help if the mechatronics was changed and the unit with the wrong software was installed. You can read more about reprogramming.

Question 010:
Q:How to find out the software version in mechatronics?
Question 011:
Q: DSG7 shift knob is locked in position P, how to unlock it in order to shiftbox to neutral?
A: Brief instructions for unlocking the DSG7 0AM selector.


Question 012:
Q: Will changing the oil in mechatronics DSG7 0AM (0CW) help to remove the "kicks" on gear changes?
A: No, it won't help. Such malfunctions are eliminated by repairing the hydraulic part of the mechatronics. In the initial stages, adaptation (basic setting) can help, but rather as an exception than a rule.




Question 014:
Q: After replacing the DSG7 0AM mechatronics, errors "06247 P1867 - Drive data bus no messages from the steering column electronics - J527" and "06227 P1853 Drive data bus implausible message from the ABS control unit" are displayed in the event recorder. How do I remove them?
A:It is necessary to reset the information about the installed components (steering column switches, electric parking brake, etc.). To do this, you need to do a basic installation on channel 69. After the basic installation has been completed, the errors will change from "permanent" to "sporadically" and you can delete them.

When using VCDS software (VAG-COM, VASYA-Diagnost, etc.):
"02-Gearbox electronics" -> "Basic parameters - 04" -> In the "Group" field enter the value 69 -> Press "Read".

When using softwareVAS-PC:
"Self-diagnosis" ->"02-Gearbox electronics" -> "006-Basic setting"-> In the "Group" field enter the value 69 -> Press "Q".

When using softwareODIS:
"Self-diagnosis" ->"02-Electronics KP" ->"Basic Installation" ->Enter value 69 -> Press "Channel selection".

After the basic installation, the event recorder must be cleaned.


Question 015:
Q:Structurally, DSG7 0AM and DSG7 0CW are practically the same transmissions (DQ200 family), is there any difference between the mechatronics installed on them?
A:The main difference is the physical and software changes to the electronic control board. In particular, 0CW boards are tied to the vehicle immobilizer system. You can read more about the differences in mechatronics 0AM and 0CW.

Many drivers know how to drive an Audi A4 automatic transmission. But for some, our article will serve as a small introductory lesson on the topic of studying the automatic transmission of this well-known automaker.

A bit of history of the Audi brand.

The father and inspirer of the Audi car brand is Ferdinand Piech, who took over as head of the company's advanced development department in 1974. Being not only a talented designer, but also a competent, discerning marketer, Pich was able to convince the company's management of the need to radically change the company's position in the market.

He began the development of an all-wheel-drive passenger car, experimenting with aluminum, and in 1980 Audi surprised motorists around the world with the introduction of an all-wheel-drive sports coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Audi quattro... This model became truly revolutionary, since before that all-wheel drive was the privilege of trucks and SUVs. For Pih, it was a kind of experiment that fully met his expectations. Continuing to develop the concept of all-wheel drive in passenger cars, he launched in 1984 the Audi 90, which was developed only for US sales, and its European counterpart, the Audi 80.

Audi Quattro 1980

The Audi 100, which was released in 1990, became the most expensive model of the automaker. This is the first car that Audi has used in the premium class. Wealthy customers could purchase a model with a new six-cylinder V-type engine, which was the lightest and most compact among its brothers of similar power.

Audi 100

Thanks to the new fuel injection system and other innovative solutions, Audi engineers managed to remove 174 horsepower from the 2.8-liter unit. At the same time, the new engine retained great power even at high revs.

New representative in the lineup

Continuing to conquer the elite segment of the car market, the automaker releases the Audi A8 sedan in 1994. The heavy and powerful executive car was popular due to the increased stability (and therefore safety), which was provided by the same four-wheel drive.
In 1996, the company presented the world with a compact Golf class car - the Audi A3.

Audi A8

The development costs of the model turned out to be minimal, since the production of this car was based on the already finished VW Golf platform. However, thanks to the sporty style and high quality of the interior, the class of the car was one step higher, which brought it closer to competitors from Mercedes and BMW.
For a long time, Audi did not offer anything worthy of SUV enthusiasts, while the company's competitors offered their customers several models of cars of this class. The Q7 SUV, which appeared in 2005, made up for this delay, instantly gaining popularity among fans of giant cars.

Model A4.

The successor of the Audi 80, which was produced from 1986 to 1994, is the A4 model, which entered the series since November 1994. The car has acquired a more impetuous outline of the body, and the magnificent interior of the passenger compartment conquers with its comfort. Along with this, the new model has implemented a number of improvements related to passive safety: the car is better able to withstand a blow to the side pillars, two side airbags have been added to the basic configuration (in addition to the two front ones)

1994 Audi A4

Car enthusiasts can order this model in one of several variations:

• 1.6 or 1.8-liter petrol engine with 4 cylinders (101 and 125 hp respectively),
• 2.6 and 2.8 liter V-shaped six-cylinder engine (174 hp),
• and a 1.9-liter turbodiesel (110 hp).

The car body is made of galvanized steel, thanks to which it is completely protected from corrosion. The proof of reliability and quality is the 10-year body warranty provided by the manufacturer.

Models with a gasoline engine were equipped with Tiptronic, which allowed shifting gears in manual mode. This option allows an experienced driver to show their skills.

Automatic transmission for Audi A4.

There are currently two automatic transmission models used in the Audi A4:

• "AG-4" for a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine developed by VW;
• "5 HP 18" for a six-cylinder engine (developed by ZF).

New Audi A4 with automatic transmission

Both models are controlled electronically and hydraulically. The inclusion of gears depends on the following parameters:

• engine speed;

In addition to the input parameters, the control takes into account:

• the driver's driving style (recognizing it, the automatic machine independently sets the gear shift points);
• terrain (the shift mode on a mountain road will differ from the mode on a flat road).

How to operate this automatic box.

• Driving off the car. As soon as you start the engine, put the car on the brake, and only then move the selector lever from position P or N to the desired range of motion. Otherwise, your car will start moving at a low speed.
• Do not under any circumstances press the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time. Under normal conditions, the automatic transmission should be in the "D4" position constantly.
• Operate the accelerator pedal smoothly without jerking. In this case, switching of the automatic transmission to higher gears will occur quickly, thereby ensuring low fuel consumption. Use the ranges "2" "1" only in those cases when you need to perform quick engine braking or exclude unnecessary switching of the machine to higher gears.
• Kick-down mode. At low speeds, you can go down to a lower gear by pressing the accelerator pedal all the way down. This allows you to use the full power of the engine to accelerate the vehicle.
• Stopping the car. When the car stops, the selector lever can remain in one of the driving ranges. The engine will idle.

• At the moment of stopping on a slope, if one of the ranges of motion is turned on on the automatic transmission, and the car is held by the brake, do not increase the crankshaft speed. Turn off the engine when stopping for a long time.
• Maneuvering. When maneuvering in small areas (garages, parking lots, etc.), use the mode with the accelerator pedal fully depressed. Adjust the speed by lightly pressing the brake pedal. Never press the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time.

Automatic transmission diagnostics.

There are many diagnostic methods for an automatic transmission. Consider the main ones that allow you to assess the condition of the automatic transmission.

• Oil condition and level.
• The level is checked with a dipstick with risks marked on it. The oil should be pure red, with no burning smell. If the oil is drained into a separate container, then whitish streaks should not remain when it is stirred.

The engine compartment of the Audi A4 with V6 engine

Ready time. Warm up the vehicle to normal idle speed. Standing on the brake, switch N-> D and N-> Dh and note the time before the jolt (the moment the machine is turned on). It should not exceed 1 second. Now switch N -> R and time again. You should have less than 1.2 seconds. If the time intervals are higher than indicated, then this means wear of the clutches.

Diagnostics on the road

1. Select a straight section of road.
2. Check the position of the accelerator and its indication on the instrument panel.
3. With the selector shifted to D, accelerate and decelerate alternately at half and full throttle. Make sure to switch 1—> 2, 2—> 3, 3—> 4 and 4—> 3, 3—> 2, 2—> 1.
4. While driving in fourth gear, shift the selector to position 5 and make sure that the shift from 4 to 3 occurs immediately.
5. Enter Dh mode. See if there is any inclusion 1 and 4, and how the switching is going on 2-> 3 and 3-> 2.
6. While the car is moving in gears 2, 3, 4, listen, perhaps the automatic transmission is humming.

Diagnostics by codes... There is a diagnostic connector located under the hood of your vehicle. Connect a jumper between the TAT and GND contacts and turn on the ignition. The HOLD light should light up once for a few seconds and then go out. If after that it continues to flash with impulses (short or long), the automatic transmission of your car needs to be repaired.

Audi A4 Routine Maintenance

Diagnostics of the mechanical part of the automatic transmission. It is carried out without disassembly by checking the pressure (linear) in all modes. But this procedure cannot be carried out without special equipment.

Repair of the automatic gearbox Audi A4

Automatic transmission repair always begins with diagnostics (often computerized). Sometimes it happens that, as a result of diagnostics, a reason is revealed that is not related to mechanics, but to the electrics of the machine. About how much it costs to repair an automatic gearbox, we can only talk after the volume and complexity of the work has been determined.

The most common reason for the failure of the machine is banal negligence in relation to timely maintenance. For example, if the oil and oil filter were not changed on time, and the box was allowed to overheat (slipped, towed a trailer, your car has a clogged radiator, etc.), then the following will happen:

• There is a shortage of oil on the slip sleeve of the torque converter;
• The bushing turns, the rest of the oil flows out of the box;
• Clutches burn out without oil.

For example, the cost of repairs in this case (oil and filter replacement) will be about 3,000 rubles.

When purchasing an A4, you can choose between a five-speed manual gearbox, a new type of continuously variable automatic gearbox (Multitronic) and an automated gearbox with manual shifting (Tiptronic).

All forward gears in the five-speed gearbox are fully synchronized, with the individual gear ratios matched to the respective engine power.

Gears last a very long time. If, despite this, a malfunction occurs in the gearbox, then it should be repaired in a workshop. Dismantling the shafts and gears requires special tools and appropriate knowledge. Even workshops, as a rule, send gearboxes requiring repair to special enterprises.

Engine power is transmitted through the clutch to the primary (input) shaft of the gearbox. On this shaft sit five gears (and another gear for reverse gear). These gears constantly mesh with the corresponding pinion gears. The gears of both shafts are supported on needle rollers, that is, there is no rigid connection between the shaft and the gear.

Gears and shafts
The gears rotate freely until one of them, due to the inclusion of a gear, meshes with the corresponding gear on the other shaft. To do this, on each shaft, first, with the help of a locking ring of the synchronizer, a rigid connection is made between the gear and the shaft, after which the gear sits rigidly on the shaft and can mesh with the mating gear for transmitting force. In order for the gears to mesh with each other, the shaft speeds must match. For this purpose, part of one shaft, by means of friction elements, slides over part of the other shaft. Due to friction, the shaft, which rotates faster, is braked until both shafts rotate synchronously.

Forward and reverse gears

The first three gears are crawler gears. The fourth gear is direct, the engine speed is transmitted in approximately 1: 1 ratio. When fifth gear is engaged, the transmission output shaft rotates faster than the engine crankshaft. Naturally, the car must also have a reverse gear. For this, an additional gear is located on each drive shaft, which reverses the direction of rotation of the drive wheels. When a gear is selected using the gear lever, the movements of the lever are transmitted through the gear shift bar to the shift segment located on the gearbox.

Continuously variable transmission Multitronic
The newly designed Multitronic transmission accelerates faster and uses less fuel. In addition, the Multitronic transmission offers more comfort than a five-speed manual gearbox. Audi Multitronic has undergone a number of changes, improvements and improvements, which is why it differs from the previous CVTs. Thanks to the optimally designed hydraulics, the shifting processes are very dynamic and without coasting. Thus, the disadvantage of the previous CVTs ("rubber band effect" or "slip clutch syndrome") is now a thing of the past. The disadvantages of the previous CVTs are also eliminated thanks to the control modes, which have been partially revised. The aforementioned “rubber band effect” is eliminated by the electronic speed tracking system, which provides dynamic driving characteristics while maintaining the same noise pattern.

In addition, the electronics takes part in a dynamic driving ratio control program 8 (DRP). This program, based on how the driver presses the accelerator pedal, determines the driver's desire - he wants to get maximum power from the engine, or, conversely, to save fuel. In the latter case, on the basis of the multidimensional characteristic of the engine speed, which is stored in the memory, the switch to a low gear ratio occurs already at a speed of 60 km / h (acceleration gear). If the driver gives full throttle (presses the accelerator pedal hard all the way), the electronic circuit immediately switches to sporty driving characteristics and engages such a gear ratio (downshift) that the high revs required for maximum power are achieved even at low speeds. During normal driving, the electronics selects the most suitable gear ratio in the range between two extreme values, and, in contrast to the shifting processes in a manual gearbox, here all gear ratio changes occur completely imperceptibly and without jerks. In addition, the electronics detect uphill and downhill movement and assist the driver by compensating for power or, conversely, increasing the braking torque when braking the engine. The highlight of this program is the so-called "manual mode", in this mode, six fixed steps are switched in an additional rocker or using a lever on the steering wheel, and in this case the switching occurs smoothly, without jerks.

The principle of the variator

In the process of designing the Multitronic gearbox, Audi engineers managed to create a continuously variable variator with the help of a new transmission element (the so-called lamellar chain), which allows high forces and torques to be transmitted over a long period of time.

Moreover, this variator, in which the ratio between the maximum and minimum gear ratios is 6, is superior to all previous types of automatic transmissions with respect to the largest and smallest gear ratios. Thanks to its high maximum gear ratio, the variator, for example, facilitates starting off and eliminates the need for a hydraulic torque converter.

Instead, Audi uses an oil-cooled multi-plate clutch, which not only eliminates the transmission losses typical of a converter, but also allows different starting algorithms. These algorithms are selected electronically in accordance with the driver's intentions, which again are determined by the way in which he presses the accelerator pedal.

In addition, the hydraulics have been designed in a special way. The variator uses a two-plunger principle, due to the separation of the oil flow between the high-pressure circuit and the cooling circuit, a much smaller pump is required compared to the conventional design. This allows you to increase the efficiency. gearboxes and improve the driving performance of the vehicle.

Magnesium crankcase gearbox

In addition to the aluminum crankcase gearboxes, the Audi A4 is also equipped with a magnesium crankcase.

To avoid contact corrosion, use only genuine Audi parts (bolts and attachments). Damage resulting from contact corrosion is not covered by the warranty. A gearbox with a magnesium housing can be recognized by the lettering "Mg AI 9 Zn 1" located on the left side of the gearbox.

For more than two years now, a new generation of Audi A4 has been sold on the Russian market, which has become much more interesting than its predecessor, has received an upgraded line of engines, transmissions, an all-wheel drive system, as well as a new MLB Evo platform, which underlies the Audi Q7 crossover. The main competitors of the A4 generation B9 are still the BMW 3 Series and the Mercedes-Benz C-class, as well as the Infiniti Q50, Jaguar XE and Lexus IS. Before each of the models, Audi has both its own advantages and moments in which the car clearly loses to its competitors.

One of the main differences between the new generation and the old is the company's complete abandonment of the variator in favor of a robot with two clutches, which was recognized as much more reliable and practical. Now potential owners can choose between a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed S tronic robot (analogue of VW's DSG DQ500).

Audi A4 B9 with manual transmission

Let's start our acquaintance with a mechanical six-speed transmission, although cars of this kind are rarely bought with mechanics, there are still motorists who prefer manual transmissions because of its reliability and the ability to fully drive a car.

Unfortunately, in the new generation with mechanics, you can only choose front-wheel drive, so forget about the legendary combination of all-wheel drive and mechanics, you need a quattro to have to choose a version with a robot.

• 1.4 liter petrol turbo engine with 150 hp. price from 2 020 000 rubles;
• 2.0 liter petrol turbo engine with 190 hp. price from 2,170,000 rubles;

Audi A4 B8 S tronic

Many have heard about the poor reliability of robotic transmissions, but only the DSG 7 with a dry clutch was awarded this fame, while the DSG-6 and especially the S tronic with a wet clutch are considered very reliable transmissions with a long resource.

• 1.4 liter petrol turbo engine with 150 hp. price from 2,100,000 rubles;
• 2.0 liter diesel turbo engine with 150 hp. price from 2 240 000 rubles;
• 2.0 liter petrol turbo engine with 190 hp. price from 2,250,000 rubles;
• 2.0 liter diesel turbo engine with 190 hp. price from 2,360,000 rubles;
• 2.0 liter diesel turbo engine with 190 hp. four-wheel drive price from 2,444,000 rubles;
• 2.0 liter petrol turbo engine with 249 hp. price from 2,500,000 rubles;
• 2.0 liter petrol turbo engine with 249 hp. four-wheel drive price from 2,584,000 rubles;

On the forums, you can often come across the question of which gearbox is better to buy A4 with S tronic or mechanics, which of them is more reliable. There is no unambiguous answer to this question, since everyone must decide for himself that a robot is more suitable for him or still a mechanic. But regarding reliability, the mechanic will definitely be more reliable and cheaper to maintain, but this does not mean that a robot with two wet clutches is not reliable, just mechanics are mechanics. As practice shows, the S tronic can easily pass 100,000 - 150,000 km without maintenance, then it is better to replace the mechatronics and the clutch. We also recommend not to forget about the timely oil change, and it is better to do this at 50,000 km, if the car is often operated in traffic jams in the gas / brake mode.
