Can the Golf 7 Transmission Be Converted to a Wet Clutch?
1 Answers
The Golf 7 transmission cannot be converted to a wet clutch. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry dual-clutch and wet dual-clutch. Generally, wet dual-clutch transmissions are paired with 2.0-liter or larger turbocharged engines, while dry dual-clutch transmissions are usually paired with turbocharged engines below 1.5 liters. The Golf 7 is equipped with three engines: a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine, a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, and a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 81 kW, a maximum torque of 155 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5,800 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 3,800 rpm. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 110 kW, a maximum torque of 250 Nm, a maximum power speed range of 5,000 to 6,000 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1,750 to 3,000 rpm. The 1.2-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 85 kW, a maximum torque of 200 Nm, a maximum power speed range of 5,000 to 6,000 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 2,000 to 3,500 rpm.
