The DQ200 DSG is the first and only 7-speed DSG with a double dry clutch. These gearboxes are known to have a lot of issues, especially compared to his predecessor the DQ250.

DQ200 DSG information

  • 7-speed
  • Dry clutch
  • Stock rated up to +/- 250 Nm
  • E.g. Polo, Golf, Passat and Touran

The DQ200 (0AM) DSG gearbox is a further development on the DQ250 (02E). During the development of the DQ200, the main priorities for Volkswagen AG were reducing fuel consumption and lowering emissions. It has been especially designed for vehicles with an engine torque up to 250 Nm like the Polo, Golf, Passat and Touran. The DQ200 (0AM) was the first 7-speed DSG gearbox equipped with a dry double clutch and mounted transversely at the front.

Without replacing the factory DQ200 software for TVS drivability and life extender software, clutch damage will definitely occur! This software is unique on the market and can only be installed at our headquarter or at one of our 100+ authorized dealers.
