Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: General notes
| The torque of the engine is transmitted via the flywheel to
the dual clutch gearbox. The flywheel and the dual clutch are
joined together by a toothed connection. Together they take on
the function of the dual-mass flywheel.
|
| The gearbox is structured like a 7-speed manual gearbox.
Through opposed hydraulic actuation of two multi-plate dry
clutches, it is operated like an automatic gearbox. In other
words, the gears are engaged automatically or manually via the
Tiptronic system. There is no clutch pedal. |
| When the ignition is switched off, both clutches are
disengaged. |
|
|
|
| The gearbox has an opening in the housing. |

Ensure that no small parts fall into this opening during repairs

| The 7-speed dual clutch gearbox has two separate and
different oil systems. One for the gear oil section
-arrow A- and one for the hydraulic
fluid section -arrow B-. |
| Only the types of gear oil available as a replacement part
may be used for the dual clutch gearbox 0CW. Other oils will
lead to malfunctions or failure of the gearbox, part number
→ Electronic Parts Catalogue (ETKA). |
| The oil level in the gearbox cannot be checked. The correct
