How many years can the dual-clutch transmission of the Audi A6L last?
1 Answers
The lifespan of Audi's wet dual-clutch transmission is approximately 20 years or 500,000 kilometers, which largely depends on individual driving habits. Avoid prolonged low-speed driving: During traffic congestion, the clutch plates remain in a semi-engaged state and frequently shift between first and second gears, which accelerates wear and reduces lifespan. In such situations, shifting to S mode for low-speed driving is recommended. Avoid shifting too quickly: This does not refer to gear changes during normal driving, but rather to situations like reversing when the car hasn't fully stopped before immediately shifting to drive. Such actions cause severe gear impacts, thereby shortening the dual-clutch transmission's service life.
