Is the Golf's Transmission Dry or Wet?
1 Answers
The 1.6T model of the Golf car features a wet transmission, while the 1.4T model comes with a dry transmission. Specific details are as follows: 1. The 1.6T model has a wet transmission, and the 1.4T model has a dry transmission. The working principles of both transmissions are essentially the same, utilizing two clutches that operate alternately. The difference lies in the medium connecting the driving plate and the driven plate: the wet dual-clutch transmission primarily relies on oil, whereas the dry dual-clutch transmission mainly depends on air. 2. In terms of working principles and basic structure, there is no fundamental difference between dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions. The distinction lies in the cooling method of the dual-clutch friction plates. Compared to traditional manual transmissions, the DSG employs new DCT technology, giving manual transmissions automatic performance and making them more convenient to use. 3. The two sets of clutch plates in a wet clutch are housed in a sealed oil chamber, with the transmission oil absorbing heat by immersing the clutch plates. In contrast, the friction plates of a dry clutch do not have a sealed oil chamber and rely on air cooling for heat dissipation.
