hicles with start-stop system
Injury hazard as a result of automatic engine start in vehicles with
start-stop system.
In vehicles with the start-stop system activated (identifiable by an
indication in the dash panel insert) the engine can start automat‐
ically if required.
– It is necessary to ensure that the start-stop system is deacti‐
vated when carrying out work on the vehicle (switch ignition
off and if required switch ignition on again).
1.2 Safety precautions during road tests in

which testing and measuring equipment
is used
There is an increased risk of injury or accident from unintended
motion and insufficient securing of testers and measuring instru‐
ments.

2.2 Marking angle gearbox

Various types of the angle gearbox can be used on the vehicle.
Angle gearboxes can be distinguished as follows:
When the angle gearbox is installed, the identification can be
made by reading the recess in the area of the aggregate carrier
-arrow-.
The identification is located in the lower part of the angle gearbox

housing -arrow-.
If the gearbox is removed, it can be differentiated according to the
type of mounting of the output flange:

GETtheMANUALS.org
♦ The output flange of the “0CN” angle gear is fixed with a

twelve-point nut -A-, which is caulked -arrows-.
♦ The output flange of the angle “gear 0AV” is attached with a
hexagon nut -arrow-.
♦ The output flange of the angle gearbox “0FN” is fixed with a
lock washer -1-.

3.1 Rules of cleanliness

♦ Thoroughly clean the connection points and their surroundings
before releasing.
♦ Seal the open lines and connections immediately with a clean
plug, e.g. from the plug set such as -VAS 6122- .
♦ Only install clean parts: remove spare parts from their wrap‐
ping immediately before fitting.
♦ Make sure no dirt gets into the gearbox when the gearbox is
open.
♦ Always replace paper gaskets after disassembly. Completely
remove old gaskets and thoroughly clean sealing surfaces.
♦ Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover them to
prevent them from getting dirty. Use sheeting and paper for
this purpose. Use lint-free cloths!
♦ Carefully cover or close opened components if the repair is not
completed immediately.
♦ Protect electrical plug connections from dirt and moisture and
only connect them when dry.
3.2 General points

Gearbox
The engine torque is transferred to the dual clutch via the fly‐
wheel.
The flywheel and the double clutch are interconnected via a ser‐
ration. Both together have the function of the two-mass flywheel.
The gearbox is installed as a manual gearbox. It is operated as
an automatic gearbox by means of alternate hydraulic actuation
of the dual clutches. This means that the gears are engaged au‐
tomatically or manually in Tiptronic mode. There is not clutch
pedal.
Shift mechanism
The selector lever position (setting the gearshift mechanism, if
required) is no longer transmitted mechanically to the transmis‐
sion via the selector cable.
The selector lever positions or change gear are transferred via a
separate control unit in the shift mechanism via the CAN databus
to the gearbox control unit.
Shifting is therefore performed without control cable. It is only in
selector lever position “P” that the parking lock engaged mechan‐
ically with the selector lever cable.

GETtheMANUALS.org
Changes of gear-change point on upward and downward gradi‐

ents
On upward or downward gradients, gear-changes are performed
automatically by additional shift characteristics depending on ac‐
celerator position and driving speed.
♦ On steep gradients, gear-change mapping is adapted to en‐
gine power output.
♦ On steep gradients, gear-change mapping is adapted to the
braking effect of the engine.
♦ By directly selecting a gear via the Tiptronic, it is also possible
to use engine braking by selecting a specific gear, e.g. when
driving on a slope during trailer operation.
3.3 General repair instructions

A number of general notes on the individual repair procedures,
which are valid for this particular workshop manual, are summar‐
ised here.
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 pro‐
cedures.
Targeted fault finding, Vehicle self-diagnosis and Measuring
method
• Before repairing the drive, try to determine the origin of the
damage as accurately as possible using the ⇒ Vehicle diag‐
nostic tester in the functions Targeted fault finding ,
Vehicle self-diagnosis and Measuring method .
Special tools
For a complete list of special tools used in this workshop manual,
see ⇒ Workshop equipment and special tools .
Gearbox
♦ Make sure no dirt gets into the gearbox when the gearbox is
open. This applies in particular if the dual clutch gearbox me‐
chatronics - J743- or oil pump for gearbox has been removed
or laid open, because any dirt entering can cause the gearbox
to fail.
♦ If the cover is unscrewed from the dual clutch gearbox me‐
chatronics - J743- or there is no oil in the gearbox, do not let
the engine run and do not tow the vehicle.
♦ Thoroughly clean the connection points and their surroundings
and then release.
♦ When installing the gearbox, ensure the dowel sleeves are
correctly located between the engine and gearbox.
Retaining elements
♦ Do not over-tension the circlips.
♦ Renew retaining rings which have been damaged or over‐
stretched.
♦ Circlips must be positioned in the base of the groove.
Oil for dual clutch gearbox
The dual clutch gearbox “0GC” only has 1 oil circuit.
This oil circuit is used for wheels and shafts, final drive, couplings
and the dual clutch gearbox mechatronics - J743- .
3. Repair instructions 7
GETtheMANUALS.org
The oil quality influences in a decisive way the function of the

gearbox.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to gearbox
– Only spare part gear oil should be used for the dual clutch
gearbox “0GC” ⇒ Electronic Catalogue of Original Parts .
Other gear oils lead to malfunctions and/or gearbox failure.
– An insufficient quantity and overfilling the oil also negatively
affects the function of the individual parts of the gear.
• For draining and filling or checking the gear oil level, which is
described in chapter
⇒ “9.2 Tools needed for changing the gear oil”, page 226 , use
the special tools indicated.
• Shake gearbox oil bottles well before opening to mix any sedi‐
ments at the bottom of the bottle with the oil.
• Do not mix any additives in the oil, also do not fill in other oil.
• Dispose of used oils properly.
• Drained oil must not be refilled.
Oil filter
The oil filter on the 0GC gearbox is not replaced as part of normal
maintenance.
The gear oil filter must only be replaced under the following con‐
ditions:
♦ Metallic swarf was found in the oil.
♦ The clutch is blown or mechanically damaged.
♦ Coolant has got into the oil.
After the following maintenance, the gearbox oil filter does not
need to be replaced.
♦ After replacing the gearbox oil cooler or sealing rings, provided
that no coolant has got into the oil.
♦ After replacing the sealing rings for gearboxes.
♦ After replacing the oil pan or mechatronics for dual clutch
transmissions - J743- .
Oil drain plugs and check screws
Summary of components
⇒ “9.1 Summary of components - oil drain plugs and check
screws”, page 226

GETtheMANUALS.org
Overflow pipe
The overflow tube -arrow- is behind the drain plug and check
screw for gear oil.
The overflow tube determines the oil level in the gearbox.
The overflow tube is made of plastic and has a 8 mm hex socket
for tightening.
Tightening torque
screws”, page 226 Pos. 1.
• You must observe the correct tightening torque for the over‐
flow tube, because you may break apart the thread and collar
if tightened excessively.
NOTICE
There are different versions of overflow pipe.
– Check which overflow pipe is installed and carry out the oil
level check right after the workshop process
⇒ “9.3 Checking the gear oil level”, page 227 .
• If the overflow tube has to be replaced, you must install an

overflow tube that is assigned to the gearbox ⇒ Electronic
Catalogue of Original Parts .
• Never install an overflow tube from another gearbox, because
this could cause the oil level in the gearbox to be incorrect!
Oil for angle gearbox
The angle gearbox has an automatic oil filling for final drives.
• Only spare part gear oil for final drives should be used for the
angle gearbox ⇒ Electronic Catalogue of Original Parts .

3.4 Seals and sealing rings

♦ Always replace O-rings, sealing rings and gaskets after dis‐
assembly ⇒ Electronic Catalogue of Original Parts .
♦ After removing all seals, inspect the contact faces on housings
and shafts for burrs and damage and remove all which are
found.
♦ Radial shaft seals - before mounting lightly oil at outside di‐
ameter and fill half the space between the sealing lips
-arrow- with sealing grease - G 052 128 A1- .
♦ Install gasket rings with the open side towards the fluid to be
sealed.
♦ Before inserting the O-rings, coat with oil for the dual clutch
gearbox to prevent the rings being damaged during installa‐
tion.
♦ Inspect the gear oil after replacing the gaskets and gasket
rings, top up if necessary
3.5 Screws, nuts

♦ Slacken and tighten screws or fixing nuts of covers and hous‐
ings diagonally across in stages.
♦ Tightening torques are for unlubricated nuts, bolts and screws.
♦ Clean the thread of the screws that are inserted with a locking
agent with a wire brush. Insert bolts with locking agent - AMV
185 101 A1- .
♦ Clean all threaded holes into which bolts are screwed in with
locking agent, using a thread tap to remove old locking agent
residues. Otherwise there is a risk that the bolts will shear at
the next disassembling.
♦ Always replace self-locking screws and nuts after disassem‐
bly.
3.6 Contact corrosion

The gearbox housing and the clutch housing are made out of
magnesium alloy.
Bolts and other components that come into direct contact with the
gearbox have a surface with varying finishes in relation to it.
The use of substitute components causes contact corrosion
(screws. nuts. washers ...). The gearbox housing and clutch hous‐
ing are damaged.
Generally install parts which are indicated in the ⇒ Electronic
Catalogue of Original Parts .
