DSG-7 clutch replacement. Transmission DSG-7
The robotic transmission system DSG-7 was released in 2006. The system is a robotic mechanical seven-speed transmission. This transmission is characterized by the presence of two dry clutches and two primary shafts. The purpose of creating this box - combining the economy of manual transmission and comfort from the classic automaton, the tat as the "robots" with the same clutch that existed at the time did not completely satisfy the constantly increasing requirements. The gears here are switched without breaking the torque feed, that is, without setting to neutral. This is the main advantage of automatic transmission. The given box is established on cars of concern VAG - "Audi", "Volkswagen", "Skoda" and others. Since the basis of the mechanical transmission lies, then periodically it is necessary to change the clutch. Let's see how the replacement of the clutch is carried out on the DSG-7, what is needed for this and whether it is possible to perform the replacement process with one's own hands.
Feature of the "robot" DSG
The peculiarity of this box is that, besides two clutches, it also has two volumes of oil. The first serves the mechatronic DSG-7, which controls the operation of the mechanism. The second is intended for a mechanical gearbox.
Coupling in the DSG-7 is a separate, non-separable and non-repairable block. If you need to replace the mechanism is already available in complete with adjusted and ready to install discs.
About the clutch
The preselective robotic DSG-7 from VAG and LUK in the automotive market have already become practically synonymous with innovative solutions, but not only them. As you know, around these boxes there was a lot of noise, which is associated with some erroneous design decisions. VAG took more than six years to make this checkpoint work properly. Now the transmission is really stable. And the number of people turning to services with clutch failure, fell sharply.
Self-replacement: what is needed for this?
On an independent replacement, many are solved after the car has left its warranty period and repairs from an official dealer for free became impossible. After all, such serious post-guarantee work will be very expensive.
If the car owner still decided to try to perform an independent replacement after the diagnosis, he should understand that this procedure is by no means free, although much cheaper. The first step is to purchase a LUK kit. This is a dual-clutch DSG-7. The price of the kit on average is 25 thousand rubles.
Tool set
Next, you should purchase a set of special tools directly for replacing the clutch on boxes of this type. Its cost is already much higher and is about 90 thousand rubles. This is quite a serious amount. If the price of the tool does not stop, then with this toolbox it will be possible to perform a full range of work even without instructions, the Internet and technical regulations. In the set from LUK, a disk is included, on which there is a detailed instruction for performing the operation. The kit will serve its owner for a long time, although its value will still remain high and unjustified.
The list of works on the replacement of the clutch
If the price of the instrument does not stop and everything you need is already purchased, you can proceed to work. The whole process is divided into several main stages. The first thing to do is to dismantle the checkpoint. This will help the hanging mechanism. With it, you can fasten the system before starting to unscrew its fasteners. Then it is recommended to check the oil level. If streaks are observed, you should top up the oil in the DSG-7 box or replace it.
Then it is necessary to clean and thoroughly wipe the output shaft. For cleaning, it is better to use a product that does not contain solvents or other aggressive substances. Remains of grease should be left on the splines of the input shaft. Then check the stuffing box for leaks.
Selection of adjusting rings
The new parts are installed in the reverse order. On the squeeze bearing, install the thinnest ring. Its size is 2.8 mm. If there are difficulties in the process of pulling the installation calibers, it is necessary to install a second ring in the thickness. Rings are picked up until the element will not easily pass through the ring.
Installation
Installation begins with the thinnest ring. It is put on the small pressure bearing of the second clutch. Actions on the selection of rings are repeated here. The correctness of the installation is checked by a special caliber. The final process of selecting a ring must be in accordance with the tolerances. But now take into account the second parameter.
The need for adaptation
This is all about the mechanical part. But for DSG-7, clutch replacement is not just physical work. It takes time to adapt the new mechanism. This process can be carried out at home using a special software and diagnostic cable. And only after that start full-fledged operation.
So, we found out how the DSG-7 is replacing the clutch with our own hands.
