The evolution and lightning of the DQ250 are the result of engineering developments on the DSG DQ200 gearbox. The initial project was not exactly the gearbox we imagine today, especially in terms of performance and reliability. Thanks to its upgrade, however, it has become one of the VAG group’s ‘double clutch’ gearboxes with the most applications on the market, especially for small and medium-sized cars powered by small turbo petrol engines with TSI/TFSI technology.

This gearbox is installed transversely on both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles, allowing the vehicle to develop a maximum torque of over 250nm, distributing power through its seven ratios. The DQ200 is also the first DSG automatic transmission to adopt two dry clutches matched to a primary and secondary shaft handling odd and even gears.

By intervening with ECM Titanium on the calibration of this TCU, the performance of the vehicle on which it is installed can be easily increased. By reducing shift times and the RPM shifting, optimum results can be achieved, both in terms of performance and fuel consumption reduction.
