Safety Precautions when Working on

Vehicles with Start/Stop System

Note the following when working on vehicles with a Start/Stop

System:

WARNING

Risk of injury if the engine starts automatically in vehicles with

a Start/Stop System.

♦ For vehicles with an activated Start/Stop System (recog‐

nizable from a notification in the instrument cluster), the

engine can be started automatically if needed.

♦ For this reason make sure the Start/Stop System is disa‐

bled when working on the vehicle (turn off ignition, if

needed, turn the ignition back on).

Safety Precautions during Road Test

with Testing Equipment

Performing road tests while using testing equipment:

WARNING

There is a risk of an accident due to distractions and improperly

secured testing equipment.
The front passenger airbag poses a risk if it deploys during an

accident.

• Operating testing equipment while driving is a distraction.
• Testing equipment that is not secured properly increases

the risk of personal injury.

♦ Always secure testing equipment on the rear seat with a

strap and have a second technician operate it from the

rear seat.

Do not tow the vehicle farther than 50 km and do not drive

faster than 50 km/h.

Note

The engine cannot be tow-started to start the engine, for example,

if the battery is too weak or if the starter is not working.

7.1

Tools

A list of special tools and workshop equipment required for repair

procedures in a manual can be found at the beginning of each

Repair Group section and in the Workshop Equipment and Spe‐

cial Tools catalog.
The catalog is also available on CD-ROM and can be ordered the

standard way through Bertelsmann.
Uncertainties often exist on smaller screws with lower tightening

specifications. The Torque Wrench 1783 - 2-10Nm - VAG1783-

can be used for these bolts.

7.2

Transmission

The flywheel transfers the engine torque to the dual clutch. The

flywheel and the dual clutch are connected to each other via

splines. Together they take over the function of the dual mass

flywheel.
The transmission is built like a 7-speed manual transmission. The

alternating hydraulic actuation of the two dry multi-plate clutches

permits operation similar to that of an automatic transmission.

This means the gears are automatically or manually shifted via

the Tiptronic mode. There is no clutch pedal.
The transmission has an opening in the housing.

Note

This opening is sealed with a cap on some transmissions.

– Make sure that no small pieces fall into this opening -arrow-

during assembly work. Cover the opening with a cloth.
