DQ250 DSG (02E/0D9) Information
The DQ250 gearbox is the first dual-clutch transmission introduced by Volkswagen AG. It is characterized as strong and reliable, but hardly modified since its introduction in 2003. Therefore, it has various common issues which could be solved by TVS Engineering / DSG Dokter.
- 6-speed
- Wet clutch
- Stock rated up to +/- 350 Nm
- G. Golf, TT, S3, Superb and Leon
The first DSG transmission, the DQ250 (02E), is introduced in a series-production car during the launch of the Golf Mk4 R32 back in 2003. During the design Volkswagen AG combined the advantages of manual and automatic transmissions into one completely new gearbox generation: the direct shift gearbox (DSG). It has been especially designed for VAG vehicles with an engine torque up to 350-380 Nm like the sportier versions of the Golf (GTI and R models).
