Pulls the sensor module and holds the side shaft on Audi 0B5 S tronic 7-speed dual clutch gearboxes using the T40217 and T40228 factory tools.
Audi A4, A5, A7 or Q5 owners with the seven-speed S tronic who see "Gearbox malfunction: you can continue driving", along with P179E, P179F or input speed sensor codes, usually end up at the same repair: the sensor module inside the 0B5 (DL501) gearbox. This kit reproduces the two Audi special tools that job calls for, T40217 and T40228, and adds a 21 mm socket, a locking plate, a stainless lifting eye and a fitted case. It carries manufacturer part number H1027.
The 0B5 does not use separate, individually replaceable speed sensors. Audi integrates transmission input speed sensor 1 (G632), input speed sensor 2 (G612), the drive position sensor (G676) and a circuit board into one sensor module, and the mechatronic relies on those signals to know which clutch and which gear is doing the work. When one of those signals goes implausible, the control unit falls back to a limited mode. Because the module is internal, Audi's own bulletin warns that the repair requires transmission case disassembly. In this kit T40217 is the side shaft counterhold that keeps the shaft from turning while you break the nut, and T40228 is the tool that works the sensor module connection so the module comes away straight instead of being levered off.
Audi TSB 2032211/3 lists the exact fault and DFCC combinations that call for a new sensor module on 0B5 cars, and its tip is worth repeating: the codes and DFCC numbers must match before that repair applies. Scan all modules, check the mechatronic connector for coolant or water intrusion, and rule out wiring before you commit to splitting the case. If the complaint is shift quality rather than a sensor code, start with fluid condition and pressure; our DSG pressure testing guide and DSG overheating guide cover those checks.
The listing covers the longitudinal 0B5 and 0B2 dual-clutch gearboxes in the Audi A4 2008 and up, A5 2008 and up, A5 Cabriolet 2009 and up, A7 2007 and up, and Q5 2008 and up. The same 0B5 is behind the Audi bulletin on 2010-2014 S4 and S5 Cabriolet and 2013-2014 S5, RS5, S6 and S7. This kit is not for the transverse 0AM (DQ200) or 02E (DQ250) DSG used in the A3, TT, Golf and Jetta. Read the gearbox code on the case before ordering, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it. More dual-clutch parts are on our DSG collection page.
If the case is apart because the clutches are also tired, the 0B5 friction and steel rebuild kit saves a second teardown.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Usually not. The A3 and TT use the transverse 0AM or 02E DSG. This kit is for the longitudinal 0B5 (DL501) and 0B2 S tronic in the A4, A5, A7, Q5 and similar models.
T40217 is the side shaft counterhold that stops the shaft turning while you loosen the nut. T40228 is the tool for the sensor module connection so the module comes off straight without cracking the housing.
No. On the 0B5 the input speed sensors, the drive position sensor and the circuit board are one sensor module, and Audi has the wiring loom replaced along with it.
Audi's bulletin lists P179E and P179F along with input speed sensor codes such as P0715, P0716, P2765 and P171F, but the DFCC numbers must match. Scan all modules and check wiring before tearing in.
Refill the gearbox with the correct fluid and run the basic settings, including clutch valve and distance sensor calibration, with the fluid between 40 and 100 C.
