3.1 General information

Gear oil
The “0GC” dual clutch gearbox only has one oil system.
The oil system lubricates the gears, shafts, final drives, clutches
and mechatronic unit for dual clutch gearbox -J743-.
Only use gear oil in accordance with ⇒ Electronic parts cata‐
logue.
Gear oil filter change - »Yes or no?«
• The gear oil filter does not have to be changed as a matter
of course.
Do not change the filter if:
♦ The gear oil cooler or its O-rings were renewed and no cool‐
ant has got into the oil.
♦ Seals and O-rings of the gearbox were renewed.
♦ The sump or mechatronic unit were renewed.
♦ The service interval was reached.
Filter must be changed if:
♦ Metal particles have been found in the oil.
♦ The clutch is burnt or has a mechanical defect.
3.2 Rules for cleanliness

♦ First thoroughly clean connecting points and surrounding
areas and then loosen bolts.
♦ Seal open lines and connections immediately using clean
plugs or sealing caps from engine bung set -VAS 6122-.
♦ Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover them to
prevent them from getting dirty. Use foil and paper for this
purpose. Use lint-free cloths only.
♦ Make sure that no dirt can enter an »open« gearbox.
♦ Install only clean parts; do not remove Genuine parts from
packaging until immediately before installing.
♦ If repair work cannot be performed immediately, cover
opened parts carefully.
♦ Protect disconnected electrical connectors from dirt and wa‐
ter, and reconnect them only when dry.
3.3 General repair instructions

To ensure flawless and successful gearbox repairs, the greatest
care and cleanliness as well as the use of good and proper
tools are essential. Also note the basic rules on safety when
performing repair procedures.

T-Roc 2018 ➤, Tiguan 2021 ➤
A number of general notes on the individual repair procedures,

which can otherwise be found in the relevant sections of the
manual, are summarised here. They apply for this particular
workshop manual.
Guided Fault Finding, vehicle self-diagnosis and test instru‐
ments
♦ Before performing repairs to the gearbox, determine the
cause of the fault as accurately as possible ⇒ Vehicle diag‐
nostic tester, Guided Fault Finding , Vehicle Self-Di-
agnosis or Test Instruments .
Special tool
For a complete list of special tools used in this workshop man‐
ual, see ⇒ "Workshop equipment and special tools".
Gearbox
Always make sure that no dirt can enter an »open« gearbox.
In particular, dirt entering an »exposed« mechatronic unit for
dual clutch gearbox -J743- and/or oil pump can lead to gearbox
failure.
♦ If gearbox covers have been unbolted or gearbox has no
fluid, do not run engine or tow vehicle.
♦ First thoroughly clean connecting points and surrounding
areas and then loosen bolts.
♦ When installing the gearbox, ensure that dowel sleeves be‐
tween the engine and gearbox are correctly located.
Locking devices
♦ Do not overstretch retaining rings.
♦ Always renew retaining rings which have been damaged or
overstretched.
♦ Retaining rings must locate properly in grooves.
3.4 Gaskets and seals
♦ Renew O-rings, seals and gaskets.

♦ After removing gaskets and seals, always inspect contact
surface of housing or shaft for burrs resulting from removal
or for other signs of damage.
♦ Before installing seals, lightly oil outer diameter and half-
fill space between sealing lips -arrow- with sealing grease
-G 052 128 A1-.
♦ The open side of the oil seals faces toward the side with fluid
filling.
3. Repair instructions 5
T-Roc 2018 ➤, Tiguan 2021 ➤
♦ Only use dual clutch gearbox oil. Other lubricants will cause
problems in function.
♦ Coat O-rings with dual clutch gearbox oil to prevent pinching
of rings during assembly.
♦ After renewing gaskets, O-rings and seals, check oil level in
gearbox and top up if necessary ⇒ page 134 .
3.5 Nuts and bolts
♦ Loosen and tighten securing bolts and securing nut for cov‐
ers and housings diagonally.
♦ Specified torques given are for unlubricated nuts, bolts and
screws.
♦ Clean threads of bolts which are to be installed with locking
fluid using a wire brush. Then insert bolts with locking fluid
-AMV 185 101 A1-.
♦ Use a thread chaser to clear residual locking fluid from
all threaded holes into which self-locking bolts are to be
screwed. Otherwise there is a danger of bolts shearing when
subsequently being removed.
♦ Check pitch of thread, to ensure correct thread chaser is
used to clean threads and to ensure the threads are not
damaged.
♦ Always renew self-locking bolts and nuts.

Determining shim for dual clutch:

• The retaining pin -T10524- remains installed!
– Temporarily install “old” retaining ring -arrow-.
Before this ring is finally disposed of, 3 measurements must be

made.

T-Roc 2018 ➤, Tiguan 2021 ➤
First measurement (axial play of shaft)

– Screw universal dial gauge -VW 387- to gearbox flange.
– Set -tip of dial gauge- on input shaft.
– Set -dial gauge- to 0 with preload.

– Lift dual clutch with force -in direction of arrow- to stop using
hooks -3438- and note measurement.
– Call this value “A”.
Note
This value will be needed later for the check measurement so

save value “A” until the last measurement has been performed.
Second measurement
– Set tip of dial gauge -on hub of large plate carrier-.
1. Clutch 23
T-Roc 2018 ➤, Tiguan 2021 ➤
Note
Tip must not sit on retaining ring.
– Set -dial gauge- to 0 with preload again.

– Lift dual clutch with force to stop and note measurement.
– Call this value “B”.
Now calculate which shim must be fitted:
– Use this formula:
Value “B” minus value “A” minus 0.11 = thickness of shim to
be fitted.
– Note result.
Shims come in increments of 0.05 mm.
– Measure the shims and determine which one is closest to
the result.
NOTICE
Always use the next-largest shim, never the next-smallest.
Example:
Calculated dimension for shim New shim
1.28 mm 1.3 mm
1.26 mm 1.3 mm
– Remove old retaining ring -arrow-.

T-Roc 2018 ➤, Tiguan 2021 ➤
Note
Do not dispose of ring yet; it will be needed once more.

Third measurement (check measurement)

To make sure that the shim is correct, a test measurement must
still be carried out. Proceed as follows:
– Install old retaining ring -arrow- once more.
– Set tip of dial gauge -on hub of large plate carrier-.
1. Clutch 25
T-Roc 2018 ➤, Tiguan 2021 ➤
Note
Set the tip of the dial gauge on the shim -1-.
– Set -dial gauge- to 0 with preload again.

– Lift dual clutch with force to stop and note measurement.
– Call this value “C”.
Now calculate which shim must finally be fitted:
– Use this formula:
Value “C” minus value “A” = specification
This specification must lie between 0.05 and 0.12 mm.
If the specification is not attained, then achieve the specification
by fitting a thicker or thinner shim.
– Install new retaining ring -arrow-.
– Fit drive plate into dual clutch.

T-Roc 2018 ➤, Tiguan 2021 ➤
• When installing, check if marking on drive plate is aligned

with marking on outer plate carrier -arrows-. If the markings
were subsequently make, align these.

Reading gear oil temperature

♦ The gear oil level changes depending on the gear oil tem‐
perature: if the gear oil temperature is too low, too much
gear oil may be filled; if the gear oil temperature is too high,
an insufficient amount of gear oil may be filled.
♦ An improper gear oil level impairs the function of the gear‐
box.
♦ At start of work, the oil temperature must not be above 30°C.
If necessary, allow the gearbox to cool down.
♦ Test temperature: 35 to 45°C
– Connect vehicle diagnostic tester -arrow- and identify vehicle
in Guided Functions .
– Select Dual clutch gearbox .

The correct oil level is below the level of the overflow pipe.
For this reason, the overflow pipe must be unscrewed 2 turns
to enable the oil level to be checked and adjusted correctly.
– Loosen overflow pipe 2 turns.

• If some gear oil still escapes at a gear oil temperature of be‐
tween 35 and 45°C (caused by the increasing temperature),
the gear oil level is OK.
• Irrespective of the gear oil level a small gush of oil escapes
from the overflow pipe every 30 seconds due to the cooling
oil pulses for supplying the multi-clutch. This is not relevant
for determining the gear oil level.
• Do not re-use gear oil which has escaped.
