Replaces all eight 09G solenoids plus the shallow-pan filter and gasket on 2005-2010 VW and Audi six-speed automatics that shift harsh or slip.
This is the early-style 09G service kit: all eight solenoids for the large-can valve body plus the flat-intake shallow-pan filter and the eight-bolt pan gasket. It is aimed at 2005-2007 Jetta 2.5L, New Beetle, Passat 2.0T, Audi A3 2.0T and Audi TT owners whose six-speed has started banging into Drive, flaring the 2-3, shuddering the converter at light throttle, or logging solenoid faults. OE references are 09G325039A for the solenoid set, 09G325429 for the filter and 09G321370 for the gasket.
The Aisin TF-60SN that VW codes 09G (AQ250 in some VW literature) uses six linear solenoids and two on-off shift solenoids. The linear units each own one job: N92 fills the K1 clutch, N282 the K2 clutch, N90 the K3 clutch and N283 the B1 brake, while N91 controls converter clutch apply and N93 sets line pressure (EPC). N88 and N89 are the on-off shift solenoids. Because every clutch is fed by its own solenoid, the TCM times each shift by ramping one solenoid down while another ramps up. When a linear solenoid drifts out of calibration or its plunger drags, that overlap goes wrong and you feel it as a flare or a bump.
Read the codes and live data first; a fault tied to one clutch circuit tells you which solenoid to suspect. Then check resistance and function as shown in our solenoid testing guide for shops without a factory scan tool. A solenoid that tests good cold can still stick hot, so a heat-soak check is worth doing. Separate a true slip from a timing flare with our flare vs slip guide; a real slip usually means clutch wear that solenoids will not fix.
Confirmed large-can fitment: 2006-2007 Jetta 2.5L including late 2005 builds, 2005 New Beetle 1.8T and 2.0L, 2006-2007 New Beetle 2.5L, 2006-2007 Passat 2.0T front-drive, 2006-2007 Audi A3 2.0T front-drive and 2005-2006 Audi TT 1.8T front-drive. VW switched solenoid size and filter design during 2008, so 2008-2010 Jetta and Beetle, 2006-2010 Passat, 2006-2009 Rabbit and Golf, 2009-2010 Jetta SportWagen, 2008 A3 and 2009 CC must be measured. With the pan down, caliper one linear solenoid can: 1.0 inch (25.4 mm) is this kit, 0.75 inch (19 mm) is the small-can style, which matches our slim-body 09G solenoid kit. Then check the filter: this kit uses a flat, flush intake, so a filter with a raised oval pipe or a long nose will not seal. A build date on or before 06/30/2008 on the door pillar sticker points to the large solenoids. When in doubt, send your year and VIN.
If the valve body bores are worn, solenoids alone will not hold. A 09G valve body with solenoids is the step up, and a 09G service kit with ATF supplies the fluid.

Eight solenoids (six large-can linear units N90, N91, N92, N93, N282 and N283 plus on-off shift solenoids N88 and N89), one flat-intake shallow-pan filter and one molded eight-bolt pan gasket. OE references are 09G325039A, 09G325429 and 09G321370.
Drop the pan and caliper a linear solenoid can. 1.0 inch (25.4 mm) is this kit; 0.75 inch (19 mm) is the small-can style. A build date on or before 06/30/2008 also points to the large solenoids.
Only if your original filter has a flat, flush intake for the shallow pan. A raised oval pipe (09G325429A or B) or long thin nose (09G325429D or E) filter will not seal with this one.
About 3.5 to 4 quarts for a pan service. Use ATF meeting VW G 055 025 and set the level at the check plug at the specified temperature.
No programming is needed, but reset the adaptation values with a scan tool and drive through every gear so the TCM relearns clutch fill times.
