1 Answers
The 1.4T model of the Audi A3 uses a dry dual-clutch transmission with the code name DQ200, while the 2.0T model uses a wet dual-clutch transmission with the code name DQ380. A dry dual-clutch transmission means there is no oil involved between the driven disc and the clutch plate, relying on friction to transmit power. Its advantages include high transmission efficiency, simple structure, and low fuel consumption. A wet dual-clutch transmission means that during clutch switching, the entire system is immersed in torque converter oil, providing protection, preventing the transmission from overheating, and making it less prone to failure during frequent gear shifts, with very high efficiency. The Audi A3 is a car launched by Audi, with body dimensions of 4292mm in length, 1765mm in width, 1423mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2578mm.
