Volkswagen AG 0AM
This dual-clutch transmission is controlled with the use of electric motors instead of hydraulic valves of piston valves and the pump.This transmission uses the main tested advantage of mechanical gearboxes – the clutch is relocated to open space and wear products of clutches are immediately get out from the transmission without causing any harm. Neither planetary gears nor hydraulic switch control are used for this purpose.

Common problems & symptoms
Problems and symptoms reported for this transmission, compiled from repair sources. Not a complete list.
!
Dual Clutch Premature Wear
Dual-clutch wears out early or unevenly, particularly under aggressive driving conditions.
!
Electric Oil Pump Failure
New electric oil pump fails prematurely and operates abnormally, disrupting transmission hydraulics.
!
Mechatronic Oil Seal Failure
High oil pressure in Mechatronics unit pushes out ATF, causing fatal transmission damage.
!
Reverse Sixth Shifting Fork Damage
Shifting fork for Reverse/6th gear sustains damage including failure of associated bearing components.
?
ATF Leak From Mechatronic
Excessive internal pressure causes ATF to be expelled from Mechatronic unit, leading to transmission failure.
?
Clutch Vibration During Operation
Noticeable clutch vibrations reported as a common symptom in DQ200 dry-clutch transmissions.
!
Transmission Sensor Malfunctions
Typical sensor operational issues causing erratic transmission behavior and potential fault codes.
!
General Transmission Reliability Degradation
DQ200 transmissions exhibit multiple compounding issues after approximately 200,000 km of operation.

About this transmission
Transmission general data
This dual-clutch transmission is controlled with the use of electric motors instead of hydraulic valves of piston valves and the pump.This transmission uses the main tested advantage of mechanical gearboxes – the clutch is relocated to open space and wear products of clutches are immediately get out from the transmission without causing any harm. Neither planetary gears nor hydraulic switch control are used for this purpose.
Technical issues and repair guidelines
Gear shifting is implemented by two fork connectors controlled from a closed small hydraulic Mechatronic which may contain approx. 1 liter of ATF. This immediately reduced the cost of production at the expense of the transmission resource. Such transmissions cover 200 thousand kilometers with some problems. But at the same time advantages of this transmission are very attractive (high level of efficiency (up to 97%) and dynamics).
Repair and typical problems of DQ200
These transmissions are quite complex for repair, therefore replacement is more preferable option.
The most common problems are related to all new elements:
- The dual-clutch gets worn out early or unevenly in case of an aggressive driving style.
- The new electric oil pump breaks too early and frequently and operates in an abnormal fashion.
- Typical issues with operation of sensors.
- High oil pressure in Mechatronics units push out the oil with fatal consequences for the trasmission.
As a result, automakers had to modify the transmission and some separate units each 2-3 years, investing more and more financial resources in making the transmission more sophisticated and expensive and hope that the project DSG will pay off before releasing of 1 million transmissions. The most common problem that occurs in these transmissions (except clutches vibrations): damage of the shifting fork Reverse\6 (including bearing parts).
There are also different defects successfully fixed in services specialized in repairing DSG with a dry clutch. The repair process related to components of this transmission is quite complicated and therefore this option doesn’t have much support among car owners, especially when the engine resource comes to an end.
