Complete 0B5 DL501 S tronic service for Audi S4, S5, S6 and RS5: 7 liters of G 052 529 A2 fluid, sump filter, canister filter and pan gasket.
An Audi S4, S5, S6, S7 or RS5 with the seven-speed S tronic that has started to judder pulling away, hesitate on the 1-2 or slam the 2-3 is very often telling you the clutch fluid is worn out. This is a complete service kit for that gearbox, the 0B5, known in the trade as the DL501. Kit 0B5325330KIT contains seven 1-liter bottles of FEBI dual-clutch fluid listed to Audi specification G 052 529 A2, the internal sump filter, the external canister filter with its seal, the pan gasket and two sealing washers for the drain and fill plugs. The filter and gasket parts are FEBI and ELRING.
The Audi Technology Portal describes the S tronic as two multi-plate clutches nested inside each other: the outer K1 drives the solid shaft for 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th, and the inner K2 drives the hollow shaft for 2nd, 4th, 6th and reverse. In the 0B5 both packs run wet. The fluid applies them through the mechatronic, carries the heat of every launch and shift away from the plates, and its friction additives decide how smoothly a pack takes up torque. As it ages, that friction behavior drifts, the module keeps adapting to clutch behavior it can no longer read cleanly, and the driver feels judder and erratic shifts. The DL501 has two filters. The sump filter sits inside the pan; the canister filter on the outside cleans the clutch and cooling circuit. A service that changes only the pan filter leaves the dirtiest element in place.
Scan the transmission module and note any faults before the service. Fresh fluid restores clutch feel; it does not fix a burnt pack, a worn valve body or a failed module. Our DSG line pressure testing guide shows how to separate a hydraulic fault from a fluid complaint, and the DSG overheating guide explains the clutch temperature readings to watch. If the codes or pressures point at the hydraulics, plan the service together with a DL501 valve body, because new parts in old fluid do not last.
The listing gives this fitment: Audi RS5 2013-2015, S4 2010-2016, S5 3.0L 2010-2012, S5 2013-2017, and S6 and S7 2013-2018, all longitudinal quattro cars with the 0B5 seven-speed S tronic. Many A4, A5, A6, A7 and Q5 models also use the 0B5 but are not on the listed fitment, so match your filters to the kit or send us your year and VIN and we will check it. Cars with the eight-speed tiptronic or the CVT do not use this kit. Every other dual-clutch part we carry is on the DSG collection page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
The listing covers Audi RS5 2013-2015, S4 2010-2016, S5 3.0L 2010-2012, S5 2013-2017, and S6 and S7 2013-2018 with the 0B5 seven-speed S tronic. For other 0B5 models, send your year and VIN and we will check.
The DL501 has a sump filter inside the pan and an external canister filter for the clutch and cooling circuit. Changing only one leaves contaminated media in the system.
A pan and canister service uses close to the full seven liters. Set the final level at the specified fluid temperature rather than pouring in a fixed amount.
Seven 1-liter bottles of FEBI dual-clutch fluid listed to Audi specification G 052 529 A2. Check the specification in your repair information against the bottle label before filling.
Yes. You need it to read fluid temperature for the level check, and to run the 0B5 basic settings so the clutches relearn their engagement points.
Often, when old fluid is the cause. If shifts stay harsh on fresh fluid, check line pressure and the valve body, and inspect the clutch packs for wear.
