What is the transmission of the Tiguan L?
1 Answers
The transmission brand used in the Volkswagen Tiguan L is Volkswagen Automatic Transmission (Dalian) Co., Ltd. Volkswagen Automatic Transmission (Dalian) Co., Ltd. is the first wholly-owned subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group. Established on September 24, 2007, the company is located in Dalian and primarily produces the latest dual-clutch automatic transmissions. The Volkswagen Tiguan L uses a 7-speed DQ381 wet dual-clutch transmission. A wet dual-clutch refers to a dual-clutch transmission where the clutch plates are immersed in transmission fluid. For the transmission of the Volkswagen Tiguan L in daily use, the following points should be noted: Do not delay changing the transmission fluid for too long. Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for extended periods. 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 certain impact when shifting back into D (Drive) mode. Never shift into D or R (Reverse) mode before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Many drivers, to demonstrate smooth operation, shift directly into reverse while the vehicle is still moving, which can significantly damage the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding and other faults. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D mode. On steep slopes, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or shift too early, resulting in insufficient power. In such cases, use manual mode to limit the gear to a lower speed 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 N (Neutral) mode. Do not use a tow rope or tow the vehicle directly with another vehicle.
