Is the Tharu equipped with a wet clutch?
1 Answers
Both wet and dry clutches are available. This model is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.4T and a 2.0T. The 1.4T variant comes with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission, while the 2.0T variant is paired with a wet dual-clutch transmission. Below is an introduction to the Volkswagen Tharu: 1. Most of Volkswagen's 1.4T models use a dry dual-clutch transmission, while the 2.0T models use a wet dual-clutch transmission. 2. Both transmissions operate on the same principle, utilizing two clutches that work alternately. The main difference between the two lies in their working environments. The clutch plates of the dry dual-clutch transmission directly contact the engine's flywheel, whereas the wet dual-clutch transmission operates immersed in transmission fluid. Comparatively, the wet dual-clutch transmission performs better under working conditions. 3. During engine operation, heat is generated due to transmission friction. The dry dual-clutch is more prone to overheating because it relies on air for cooling, which is relatively slower. In contrast, the wet dual-clutch is immersed in fluid, allowing for faster heat dissipation. As a result, more car owners prefer the wet dual-clutch transmission.
