What is the model of the Audi A5 transmission?
1 Answers
Audi A5 transmission model is DL382. The entire Audi A5 lineup uses a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, which is a wet-type dual-clutch. The dual-clutch transmission, abbreviated as DCT, stands for Dual Clutch Transmission in English and is translated as "dual-clutch transmission" in Chinese. Dual-clutch transmissions differ from conventional automatic transmission systems; they are based on manual transmissions but are not automatic transmissions. In addition to the flexibility of manual transmissions and the comfort of automatic transmissions, they also provide uninterrupted power output. The Audi A5 transmission is manufactured by Aisin of Japan. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin's products hold the highest market share globally. For the Audi A5 transmission in daily use, the following points should be noted: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this can cause the transmission to overheat and produce a noticeable shock when shifting back to Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Many drivers, aiming to showcase smooth operation, shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving, which can severely damage the transmission gears and lead to issues like gear grinding over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). When facing steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles can overheat due to high load or shift prematurely, leading to insufficient climbing power. In such cases, use manual mode to limit to lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck to move the vehicle onto the tow platform while it is in Neutral (N). Avoid using tow ropes or directly towing the vehicle with another vehicle.
