DQ250 Clutch Drum 2015-2020, used and ready to install. Fits the DQ250. Ships fast from the USA.
A 2015-2020 Audi S3, A3, TT, VW GTI, Golf R or Tiguan with the six-speed wet DSG that judders pulling away, slips under boost or throws clutch adaptation faults usually needs a dual clutch pack. This listing is a used, genuine Audi DQ250 dual clutch pack, part number 02E398029C, removed from a 2016 Audi S3 2.0 quattro with the second-generation 02E gearbox. It is the complete clutch assembly shown in the photo, the drum-shaped unit that holds both clutches, not a bare drum or loose plates. It carries a 1-year warranty and is a much cheaper route than a new clutch pack for an owner or shop doing a DSG clutch job.
Volkswagen's Self-Study Program 308 describes the 02E as two gearboxes in one case, each with its own wet multi-plate clutch running in DSG oil. The dual mass flywheel drives the input hub of this clutch assembly, which turns the outer plate carriers of both clutches. Clutch K1 is the outer clutch and drives input shaft 1 for first, third, fifth and reverse. Clutch K2 is the inner clutch and drives input shaft 2 for second, fourth and sixth. Oil pressure from the mechatronic unit pushes a piston in each clutch to clamp its plates, a diaphragm spring returns K1 and coil springs return K2. One clutch is always engaged while the other waits with the next gear already selected, which is why worn plates or a leaking piston seal show up as rough or slow shifts on every other gear.
Many DSG complaints come from the mechatronic unit or old oil rather than the clutches, so start with a scan. Check the transmission oil temperature and clutch values with a VW-capable scan tool; Ross-Tech's 02E page notes the oil has to be between about 30 and 100 C for clutch adaptation to run. If a fresh oil and filter service and a clean adaptation do not cure the judder or slip, the clutch pack is the likely cause. Our DQ250 mechatronic and clutch problems guide explains how to tell the two apart, and our DSG overheating guide covers the heat problems that wear clutches early.
This clutch pack is part number 02E398029C, taken from a 2016 Audi S3 8V 2.0 quattro. The listing applies it to second-generation DQ250 applications including the 2015-2020 Audi S3, A3, TT and TTS, the VW Golf GTI and Golf R, Jetta GLI, Passat, CC, Arteon, Beetle and Tiguan in the years they used the six-speed DSG. The 02E was revised more than once and early cars used different clutch packs, so check the part number on your old unit or send us your year, model and VIN before ordering. Every DSG part we carry is on the DSG and S tronic collection page, and other clutch packs are listed as the DQ250 clutch drum.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is the complete used DQ250 dual clutch assembly, part number 02E398029C, as shown in the photo. It contains both the K1 and K2 clutches in one unit.
It was removed from a 2016 Audi S3 8V 2.0 quattro with the second-generation six-speed 02E DSG.
Not necessarily. Early 02E gearboxes used different clutch packs. Check the part number on your old assembly or send us your year and VIN to confirm before ordering.
Yes. Clear faults and run basic settings and clutch adaptation with a VW-capable scan tool once the oil is in the correct temperature range. Skipping it can leave the car juddering or shifting badly.
Replace the clutch cover and seal, the DSG filter and oil, and check the dual mass flywheel and pump shaft splines while the gearbox is apart.
