Volkswagen AG 02E
The 6-speed DSG gearbox DQ250 - 02E (S-tronic) with a dual wet clutch was firstly used in 2003 in cars with engine capacity from 1.6 up to 3.2 l. VW started to install this gearbox serially on a number of vehicles (GOLF, JETTA, PASSAT etc). Expensive models of Seat and Scoda also were equipped with this gearbox. This gearbox is capable of transmitting quite high torque (up to 350 Nm). The structural design of this robotic transmission was created by VAG specialists jointly with the company "BorgWarner". Later this project was joined by the company "Luk".

Common problems & symptoms
Problems and symptoms reported for this transmission, compiled from repair sources. Not a complete list.
?
Vibration jerking dual clutch
Vibrations, kicks, and jerking caused by the double-disk wet clutch assembly during engagement.
!
Dual wet clutch failure
Double-disk clutch causes drivability complaints; clutch damage documented requiring replacement or upgrade.
!
Velocity sensor malfunction
Velocity sensors reported as failure points causing transmission control issues in DQ250 units.
!
Mechatronics unit damage
Metal chips circulating in ATF contaminate and damage the mechatronic unit internals.
!
VFS solenoid contamination failure
VFS solenoids degraded by ATF dirt, losing oil flow and pressure regulation; rejected by TCU.
?
ATF metal chip contamination
Metal debris circulates in ATF fluid, contaminating solenoids and mechatronics within 2-5 year service window.
!
ATF filter clogging
External ATF filter and heat exchanger filter become clogged, requiring early replacement to protect internals.
!
Seals and rings wear
Internal rings and seals degrade over time, necessitating full reassembly to extend friction element lifespan.

About this transmission
Transmission general data
The 6-speed DSG gearbox DQ250 - 02E (S-tronic) with a dual wet clutch was firstly used in 2003 in cars with engine capacity from 1.6 up to 3.2 l. VW started to install this gearbox serially on a number of vehicles (GOLF, JETTA, PASSAT etc). Expensive models of Seat and Scoda also were equipped with this gearbox. This gearbox is capable of transmitting quite high torque (up to 350 Nm). The structural design of this robotic transmission was created by VAG specialists jointly with the company "BorgWarner".

Technical issues and repair guidelines
Generally, these gearboxes serve quite reliably for 2-5 years. The warranty of the automaker has been extended (only VW) up to five years. At this period the percentage of visitors to service centers is still quite high. Customers complain about the issues related to vibrations, kicks, jerking caused by the double-disk clutch, velocity sensors, chips in the gearbox that damage mechatronics.
First repairs of these sophisticated and highly-priced gearboxes are related to replacement of filters: external filters of heat exchanger and ATF, which should be changed with the external filter. Minor and repeated repair operations of DQ250 involve replacement of VFS solenoids, which get damaged by dirt from ATF and, as a result, lose their operating qualities related to changing the oil flow and its pressure. As a result, VFS solenoids become "rejected" by the control system. The reassembly of 02E -DQ250 gearbox with the replacement of rings, seals and filters is “a must” procedure to prolong the lifespan of its friction elements and solenoids.
