DL501 Valve Body 2014-2024, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the DL501. Ships fast from the USA.
This is a remanufactured valve body for the later production run of the DL501, the longitudinal seven-speed wet dual-clutch Audi codes as 0B5, listed for 2014 through 2024. Buyers usually land here with a higher-mileage car that has started engaging late, thumping between second and third or into reverse, logging pressure or clutch control codes, or slipping into emergency mode on the highway. On a late 0B5 that has already had its software updates and adaptation resets, those symptoms tend to be genuine hydraulic wear, and replacing the valve body is a fraction of the price of a complete gearbox.
A dual-clutch box has no torque converter to soften a mistake, so the valve body carries the whole job of making shifts smooth. In the 0B5 it regulates main pressure, meters apply pressure separately to the K1 clutch (first, third, fifth and seventh) and the K2 clutch (second, fourth, sixth and reverse), feeds the gear actuators that pre-engage the next gear on the idle shaft, and sends cooling oil across whichever clutch is slipping. The controller holds a small, deliberate amount of slip on the working clutch and adjusts pressure many times a second to keep it there. That closed loop is why a slightly worn bore matters: the controller keeps compensating until it runs out of adaptation range and sets a fault.
Check the basics first, because the 0B5 is sensitive to its fluid. Old or oxidized ATF loses its friction and cooling properties and damages solenoids and valves on its own, so confirm when the ATF and filters were last serviced and pull a sample. Scan for codes, read the clutch adaptation and temperature values, and see whether a pressure fault is electrical (sensor or wiring) or mechanical. Our DSG pressure testing guide walks through what pressure readings and the P0841 family mean, and the dual-clutch mechatronic and clutch problems guide explains how to separate a hydraulic fault from worn clutches. A tool that can read and reset adaptations, such as our DSG adaptation scan tool, makes this much faster.
The listing names 2014-2024. Audi used the 0B5 into the late B8.5 cars, the C7 A6 and A7 and the Q5 range, while the transmission family continued in other longitudinal applications after Audi's own changeover, which is why the year span is long. Do not order on year and model alone. Read the part number from the unit you are removing and match it, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm before it ships. If your car is a 2010-2013 build, our 2010-2016 DL501 valve body is the earlier version. Everything for these gearboxes is in the DSG and S tronic collection.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
The listing covers 2014-2024 DL501 / 0B5 production. Because the same family was used across several models and revisions, match the part number on your current unit or send us your year and VIN before ordering.
They are listed for different production windows, and the 0B5 was revised over its life. The correct one is the one whose part number matches the unit in your car, not the one that matches the model name.
Not automatically. P0841 means the pressure sensor signal is implausible; causes include low fluid pressure, wiring to the sensor, the mechatronic or the valve body. Check fluid and wiring first.
ATF meeting Audi G 052 529 A2 for the clutch and mechatronic circuit. The gear set uses its own separate gear oil.
Yes. Run the basic settings and clutch calibration with a capable scan tool and the fluid at 40 to 100 C, then road test. Skipping it leaves shifts harsh.
