The DQ250, known by its part prefix 02E, is Volkswagen Group’s wet-clutch six-speed dual-clutch gearbox. In production since 2003, it is one of the most widely built DSG units in the world. Its clutch packs run in an oil bath and handle up to 350 Nm, which is why it became the default choice behind both 2.0 TDI diesels and the stronger TSI petrol engines.

Verified gearbox codes
The codes below are taken from the manufacturer’s own parts catalogue, model by model. The same gearbox was built under several codes and the right one depends on the car’s VIN, so we always list them together with the car and the model year.
- VW Golf VII (AU), MY2020: QSE · SEW · SFX · SGC · SGE · SGF · SGG · SGH · SYL · SYT · SYU · SYV · SYW · SYX · SYZ · THY

The wet-clutch design copes with high torque and repeated city-traffic launches far better than the dry-clutch DQ200.
Typical failures
These are the reasons this gearbox usually gets replaced — check your own symptoms before ordering:
- mechatronic valve body failure — the gearbox drops into limp mode
- dual-clutch wear: shuddering and juddering when pulling away
- skipped oil services — the fluid needs changing about every 60,000 km

Where to find your gearbox code
The gearbox code is the decisive detail: the same gearbox model was built under several codes, and they differ in ratios and software. There are three places to find it: the type plate on the gearbox casing, the equipment sticker on the first pages of the service book, or ask us — we check it against the VIN. Send the code or the VIN with your enquiry and we will supply the right unit.
