Full friction and steel plate set plus gaskets, seals and O-rings to overhaul the DQ250 02E six-speed wet dual-clutch used in VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda.
A Golf, GTI, Jetta, Passat, Beetle or Eos with the six-speed DSG that judders leaving a stop, slips between gears or logs a clutch adaptation limit code has usually worn out its wet clutch packs. This DQ250 master rebuild kit carries the friction discs and steel plates for both the K1 and K2 packs plus the gasket, seal and O-ring set to close the 02E case back up. It is listed under the T19800A kit reference, with T19802A, T198081A and VWT198080A as the component kits inside it.
Volkswagen's Self-Study Program 308 describes the 02E as two gearboxes in one case, each with its own wet multi-disc clutch. K1 is the outer clutch and drives input shaft 1 for 1st, 3rd, 5th and reverse; K2 is the inner clutch and drives input shaft 2 for 2nd, 4th and 6th. The same 7.2 liters of fluid apply the clutches, move the shift forks, lubricate the gears and cool the packs. Because the mechatronic runs the clutches with a small, controlled slip, the frictions wear on every launch and every crawl through traffic. Once they glaze, the module cannot hold the adapted apply point and a fluid change will not bring them back. New plates restore holding capacity; new seals and gaskets stop the leaks that follow a case split.
Pull codes and watch live data on a road test: commanded versus actual clutch pressure for K1 and K2, clutch temperature and the adaptation values. Pressure that tracks its target while the car still slips points to the packs. Pressure that lags or wanders points to the mechatronic or its sensors, which this kit will not fix. The full process is in our DQ250 mechatronic and clutch problems guide. If the unit has been overheating, read the DSG overheating guide first so the new plates are not cooked by the same cause.
The listing covers the 02E DQ250 six-speed wet dual-clutch in the VW Golf 2004-2014, Jetta 2005-2014, Passat 2006-2014, Beetle 2003-2014 and Eos 2007-2014, the Audi TT 2013-2014 (1.8 and 2.0L), plus the Seat Leon, Altea and Toledo sold outside North America. These models were also offered with other transmissions, including the dry-clutch seven-speed 0AM (DQ200), which takes a completely different clutch. Read the gearbox code on the case or data sticker and confirm it is 02E before ordering, or send us your year and VIN. More DQ250 parts are on our DSG collection page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It fits if the car has the 02E six-speed DSG. Jettas of that era were also built with a manual, a conventional automatic or, in some markets, the dry-clutch 0AM seven-speed. Check the gearbox code on the case or data sticker, or send us your VIN.
No. It supplies the friction discs and steel plates for the K1 and K2 packs plus gaskets, seals and O-rings. The clutch housing, pistons and hubs are reused, so inspect them during the rebuild.
Yes. If actual clutch pressure lags the commanded value, the valve body, solenoids or pressure sensors are more likely than the plates. Check live pressure data before you split the case.
VW lists 7.2 liters of G 052 182 DSG fluid for the 02E as a total fill. A drain-and-fill after a rebuild uses less than a dry fill, so fill by the level procedure rather than by volume alone.
Yes. The clutch adaptation and basic settings have to be run so the module learns the new friction points. Without it, the old adaptation values remain and the car can shudder or shift harshly.
