The DL501 transmission, also known as the S-Tronic or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, is used in various Audi and Volkswagen models. While it's known for its performance and efficiency, it has its share of common problems. Here's a list of issues often reported by owners and mechanics:
Mechatronic Unit Failure: The mechatronic unit, which controls the gearbox, is prone to failure. Symptoms include erratic shifting, loss of drive, and warning lights on the dashboard.
Clutch Pack Wear: Premature wear of the clutch packs can lead to slipping, shuddering during acceleration, and rough gear changes.
Common fault codes related to the clutch pack:
P17D0 Slippage Too High 18446
P17CF Slippage Too High 23235
We offer kits and repair both Mechatronic and clutch packs in these transmissions.
