0AW

8-speed CVT 0AW (VL380) was produced by Audi in 2004 for 4WD Audi models (from А3 (Sportback) to А7 (Sportback)) with gasoline engines from 1.8 to 3 liters to replace the 6-speed transmission 01J.

In 2007, the new modification of this transmission named VL381 was produced. This CVT inherited only few spare parts (friction elements, steel disc etc) and the operation principle from its predecessor 01J. Electric components and the valve body were significantly improved. This smart transmission can send a huge torque (for CVTs) - up to 400Nm.
