Is the DSG in the Golf a Dry or Wet Clutch?

[Chase]

The Golf is equipped with a dry dual-clutch transmission. Here are some details about the dual-clutch transmission (DSG): 1. All dual-clutch transmissions consist of three main components: the dual clutch, the gearbox, and the control unit (mechatronic module). The clutch itself can be either dry or wet. 2. In a dry dual-clutch system, the clutch plates and intermediate pressure plate are directly exposed to the air, relying on airflow for cooling. The engagement and disengagement of the clutch are controlled by the mechatronic module, which operates the clutch pushrods K1 and K2. 3. In a wet dual-clutch system, the clutch plates and pressure plate are housed in a sealed oil chamber filled with hydraulic fluid. The engagement and disengagement of the clutch are managed by the mechatronic module.
