TCU DSG7 DQ200

Share ! " #

After the success of the DSG 6, a successor was inevitable. Having said that, a DSG 7 gearbox can’t really be called a successor. This newer
DSG version uses a dry clutch and can handle a bit less torque than its older brother. So why did Volkswagen AG make this choice? The
answer can be found in weight and resistance. With regard to the environment and fuel consumption, the DSG 7 is the better option, as long
as it doesn’t require too much torque, that is.

Check the position sensors and the corresponding magnets for contamination by metal particles. If there is any contamination, check the
gearbox thoroughly for mechanical wear/damage. Then clean the sensor and check that the error code is still present. If this is the case, then
it is still plausible that the TCU is defective and needs to be remanufactured.

General operation DSG 7

:
 The DSG 7 gearbox is an automatic double clutch gearbox. DSG stands for “Direktschaltgetriebe” or “Direct Shift Gearbox” and the 7
indicates that there are seven forward gears. For this gearbox the designation ‘DQ200’ is also used. The Q (‘Quermotor’) indicates that this
gearbox is used for transverse engines.

Mechanically, the DSG 7 gearbox can be described as a manual gearbox with two dry plate clutches, two drive shafts (input, primary) and
three output shafts (secondary). An electronically controlled hydraulic control (Mechatronic) ensures that the gearbox can operate fully
automatically. As an option, an additional manual shifting option can be selected (Tiptronic).

Automatic gearbox
A dual mass flywheel connects the crankshaft of the engine with the drive plate that rotates in line with the crankshaft. Two dry clutches on
either side of the drive plate rotate independently of each other around the same shaft and each drives its own drive shaft by means of a
‘spline shaft’. Drive shaft 1 rotates inside the hollow drive shaft 2.On drive shaft 1 are the gears for 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th gear. The gears for
the 2nd, 4th, 6th and reverse gear are on drive shaft 2. From drive shaft 1, the gears for 1st and 3rd gear are driven on the first output shaft
and the gears for 5th and 7th gear are driven on the second output shaft. From drive shaft 2, the gears for 2nd and 4th gear are driven on
the first output shaft and the gears for 6th and reverse gear are driven on the second output shaft. Sprocket R1 on the second output shaft
drives the third output shaft for reverse gear via sprocket R2. All three output shafts drive the differential gear.
:
 Because the gears for 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th gear are on drive shaft 1 and the gears for 2nd, 4th, 6th gear on drive shaft 2, shifting takes place
from one drive axle to the other when shifting to the next gear. The next gear is already engaged on the corresponding output (main) shaft.
When shifting gears, the clutch to the drive shaft of the ‘old’ gear is decoupled in one smooth movement and the clutch to the drive shaft of
the ‘new’ gear is coupled in one smooth movement. So there is an overlap in the drive through both gears. In addition, when shifting up, the
engine torque is slightly lowered, while when shifting down, the engine torque is slightly increased. All in all, this ensures a fast and smooth
shifting action with no noticeable interruption in propulsion.

V401 Hydraulic pump motor

Shifting, coupling and decoupling are controlled from the central gearbox control unit, the Mechatronic (J743). This consists of an electronic
control device and an electro-hydraulic control unit. The Mechatronic is attached to the gearbox and has its own oil circuit, independent of
that of the actual gearbox. This means that the hydraulic part of the DSG 7 DQ200 has its own oil pump, valves and cylinders. These
cylinders are directly connected to the shift forks and the clutch levers.

The electro-hydraulic control unit incorporates an electrically driven V401 hydraulic pump and an oil pressure accumulator, which together
ensure that the system pressure in the control unit remains between 40 and 60 bar.
:
 The electro-hydraulic control unit has eight control valves. Valves N433, N434, N437 and N438 operate the shift forks that engage the
gearwheels on the output shafts. Control valves N435 and N439 operate both clutches. Valves N436 and N440 regulate the required system
pressures in both gearbox halves:

Control valve N436 controls the pressure in gearbox half 1 for valve N435, which controls clutch K1, for valve N433, which
controls the shift fork for 1st and 3rd gears, and for valve N434, which controls the shift fork for 5th and 7th gears.

Control valve N440 controls the pressure in gearbox half 2 for valve N439, which controls clutch K2, for valve N437, which
controls the shift fork for 2nd and 4th gears, and for valve N438, which controls the shift fork for 6th and reverse gears.

In order to provide the Mechatronic with the necessary information, the TCU receives information from a number of sensors. The overview
alongside shows exactly what information is received. Almost all of these sensors are built into the Mechatronic. However, speed sensor
G182 is located outside the Mechatronic.

The TCU not only receives the necessary information from its own sensors but also exchanges information with the various measuring and
control devices in the car via the CAN bus, for example:

E313-Gear selector lever

J104-ABS (with EDL) control device
J248-Control unit for diesel direct injection
J285-Control unit for display instrument panel
J453-Control unit for multifunction steering wheel
J519-Control unit for electrical installation
J527-Control unit for steering column electronics
J533-Diagnostic interface for data bus
J623-Engine control unit for diesel engines

Always check the three speed sensors for metal particles. If there is any contamination, check the gearbox thoroughly for
mechanical wear/damage. Then clean the sensor
