Since which year has the Magotan started using wet dual-clutch transmission?

Magotan has always been using wet dual-clutch transmission. Here is an introduction to wet dual-clutch transmission: 1. Wet dual-clutch plates refer to clutch plates soaked in transmission fluid. In terms of technical maturity and reliability, wet dual-clutch transmission has clutch plates operating in hydraulic oil, where the oil provides certain cooling effects. 2. Wet dual-clutch transmission offers better regulation capability and excellent thermal meltability, enabling the transmission of relatively large torque with less power loss and higher transmission efficiency. Advantages of wet dual-clutch transmission: 1. Fast shifting: The shifting time of dual-clutch transmission is very short, even faster than manual transmission, taking less than 0.2 seconds. 2. Fuel-efficient: Dual-clutch transmission eliminates torque interruption, keeping the engine power constantly utilized and always in the optimal working state, thus significantly saving fuel. 3. Comfort: Due to the fast shifting speed, each shift of DCT is very smooth.

I think Volkswagen Magotan started using wet dual-clutch transmissions around 2017. That year's new models underwent many upgrades, and the wet design is much better than the dry one. The oil cooling system can absorb more heat, reducing transmission overheating issues. The gear shifts feel much smoother, especially in traffic jams where jerking is less common. I used to drive a 2015 model with a dry clutch and often felt vibrations, but the Magotan after 2017, featuring second-generation DCT technology, delivers higher power transmission efficiency, quicker starts, and better fuel economy. The wet dual-clutch also handles higher torque more effectively, pairing well with Volkswagen's EA888 engine for stable performance. With improved reliability, mechanics say the failure rate has dropped significantly. In daily driving, maintenance is simple—just regular transmission oil changes can extend its lifespan.

I heard discussions in the car enthusiasts' circle that the wet dual-clutch transmission in the Magotan became widely adopted after the major facelift in 2017. The wet type uses cooling oil inside the transmission to protect the clutch plates, avoiding common issues with the dry type, such as plate burning or stuttering. In actual driving, the acceleration response is quick, gear shifts are almost seamless, and the driving experience is superior compared to the dry type. Volkswagen faced numerous complaints with the dry DSG in its early years, but after optimizing it for the Chinese market, the wet type became mainstream. The reliability is much better, with fewer repair records for models after 2017, and it also offers fuel efficiency advantages. Considering other Volkswagen models, the wet type is suitable for urban roads and can handle frequent starts and stops. It's wise to prioritize the wet dual-clutch version when choosing a car.

In the repair shop, we've often encountered the wet dual-clutch transmission in the Magotan since the 2017 model. The wet oil-bath design offers better heat dissipation, making it less prone to overheating failures compared to dry types, with more durable clutches. Before 2017, dry versions had more issues and were costly to repair; post-2017 wet versions are more reliable, shift smoothly, pair well with Volkswagen engines, and transmit torque efficiently. Maintenance just requires regular cooling oil changes.
