What is the wading depth for the Sagitar transmission?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Sagitar's dry dual-clutch transmission has a wading depth of 0 to 150mm. If the water level in the wading area exceeds half of the car's wheel height, water may enter the transmission through the vent hole, causing potential damage. Here is additional information: 1. Symptoms of water entering the transmission: Mild water ingress: Some screws inside the transmission may rust; Moderate water ingress: White deposits appear in the oil pan; Severe water ingress: Can be identified by the color and viscosity of the transmission fluid, showing a mixture of oil and water or an unusually thin consistency. 2. Precautions: After water enters the transmission, symptoms of failure do not appear immediately but will gradually manifest within two weeks. If water ingress is detected, the sooner it is repaired, the lower the cost will be. If not repaired promptly, prolonged use can lead to a series of issues, such as automatic transmission oil leaks, abnormal noises, and other faults, potentially doubling the repair costs compared to earlier stages.
