What is the maximum torque that the Volkswagen DQ200 can withstand?
1 Answers
Volkswagen DQ200 can withstand a maximum torque of 250N per M. DQ200: The dry 7-speed dual-clutch transmission can withstand a maximum torque of 250N per M and is mainly installed in mid-to-low displacement models such as the Sagitar and Golf. The DQ200 offers better fuel economy and more convenient powertrain layout, but it is only suitable for small and medium-sized engines with a maximum torque of less than 250Nm. The DQ200 is also the most problematic model, with many users reporting issues such as idle vibration, rough gear shifting, and even the need to replace the dual-clutch after tens of thousands of kilometers of use. Therefore, this transmission is not recommended. Fuel Economy: The DQ200 dry dual-clutch transmits torque through the friction plates on the clutch driven disc. By eliminating the related hydraulic system and leveraging the high efficiency of the dry clutch itself in torque transmission, it significantly improves fuel economy. Relevant data shows that a 77Kw engine equipped with a 7-speed DSG transmission can save more than 10% fuel compared to a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Lower Lubrication Oil Requirement: In addition to higher transmission efficiency, the 7-speed DSG transmission of the DQ200 eliminates components such as filters, oil coolers, and high-pressure oil pipes in the transmission housing. Like a conventional manual transmission, the transmission oil is only used for lubricating and cooling the transmission gears and bearings. Therefore, the 7-speed DSG transmission requires only 1.7 liters of transmission oil (the 6-speed DSG transmission requires 6.5 liters).
