What is the transmission model of the Audi Q3?
2 Answers
Audi Q3 mainly has the following two models, and different models have different transmission models. 1. The 2.0T transmission model is DQ500, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 2. The 1.4T transmission model is DQ380, paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. Additional information: 1. The transmission mainly refers to the car's transmission, which is divided into manual and automatic types. 2. The manual transmission mainly consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations; while the automatic transmission (AT) is composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system. It achieves speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.
When I previously drove an Audi Q3, I specifically researched its transmission. Generally speaking, early Q3 models (pre-2013) with the 2.0T engine mostly featured the DQ500 dual-clutch transmission, which could handle 450Nm of torque, and the off-road mode was quite stable. After the 2018 model refresh, the 1.5T models primarily used the DQ381 seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, with noticeable improvements in smoothness, significantly reducing jerking during city traffic congestion. However, to confirm the exact model, you need to check the 10th letter of your VIN—for example, W corresponds to the 2023 model, which uses the 0GC transmission code. It's recommended to change the transmission fluid every 60,000 kilometers; otherwise, the valve body is prone to sticking.
