What transmission is used in the Scirocco R?
1 Answers
Scirocco R comes standard with a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, with the transmission code DQ250. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry and wet. Below is extended information about dry dual-clutch transmissions: 1. The clutch plates in a dry dual-clutch transmission are not immersed in transmission fluid, resulting in fast gear shifts but poor heat dissipation. 2. The clutch plates in a wet dual-clutch transmission are immersed in transmission fluid, leading to slightly slower gear shifts compared to dry types, but they can handle higher torque and offer better heat dissipation. 3. Dual-clutch transmissions have an additional set of clutches and gear-shift control mechanisms compared to manual transmissions, providing higher transmission efficiency and faster gear shifts.
