Service
If the above condition applies to the vehicle:
1. Check if the TSB 2050723 applies to the vehicle first. If it does not lead to repair or Audi Technical
Assistance Center (TAC) case, then continue with this TSB.
2. Using the diagnostic scan tool check the measured value for Clutch 1’s maximum temperature (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Measured value for Clutch 1 maximum temperature.
3. Check the transmission fluid by obtaining a sample of
the transmission fluid drained in to a white cup.
Approximately one inch of transmission fluid in the
cup is all that is required. Take a photograph of the
fluid with the cup tilted at about 45 degrees for your
records (Figure 2). It may be needed if an Audi
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) case needs to be
opened or for warranty purposes.
Figure 2. Fluid photograph example showing
approximately one inch of fluid in the white cup, and
tilted on an angle to show depth and color.
4. If the measured value for Clutch 1 maximum temperature is about 400 degrees Celsius and the transmission
fluid smells burnt and is black or very dark in color, then replace the dual clutch, the transmission fluid, and
the transmission filter per the repair manual.
5. If the clutch 1 maximum temperature is not close to 400 degrees Celsius and the transmission fluid is not
black or very dark in color then this TSB does not apply. Open an Audi Technical Assistance Center (TAC)
case with pictures of the transmission fluid picture attached and your diagnosis information. Then contact the
Audi Technical Assistance Center (TAC).
