Complaint:
Dual clutch transmission leaking
Cause:
The transmission can be overfilled at the factory. If overfilled, oil is pressed out of the breathers that are located on top
of the transmission. The oil gathers on the transmission then - depending on the amount involved and a sporty driving
style - it runs down the transmission housing.
Remedy:
1. Photograph and document leaks
2. Thoroughly clean transmission, removing all traces of oil
3. Check or correct both oil levels as described in the WIS and report back on the difference in oil quantities, if necessary
4. Apply leak detector spray to suspected leaky areas
5. Perform suitable test drive
6. It should now be possible to locate the exact location of the oil leak. Document the leakage with representative pictures.
7. If there are no more visible traces of oil on the transmission, the vehicle can be returned to the customer again.
8. If the leakage is still present or it is not possible to localize it exactly, please open a Tips case and attach the following documents:
- Picture documentation before the cleaning process and after the test drive from operation steps 1 and 6.
- Difference in oil quantities from operation step 3.
- Transmission control unit log
- EEPROM data
Note:
Care should be taken to ensure that the oil has been completely removed from the transmission. It should not be possible for oil that has gathered in the reinforcement recesses to be collected on the transmission again, for it to then
