Audi 0AW (Multitronic VL-381) transmission is the second experiment of the Volkswagen Audi Group, it's the second version of CVT after Audi 01J (VL-300).

The transmission is installed on front-wheel-drive Audi cars from 2004 to 2016, mainly A4, A5 and A6. Despite the sufficient novelty, it is already well known to the Melbourne Euro team and therefore the repair of 0AW (VL-381) does not present any difficulties.

The 0AW variator (Multitronic VL381) was significantly more successful than its counterpart, 01J (Multitronic VL-300). However, this was the end of VAG’s experiments with CVT, and the company moved on to the development of robotic boxes.

Things you need to know about CVT gearbox:

• Very demanding on the quality of the transmission fluid, and at Melbourne Euro we only use G 052 516 A2. A complete replacement will require 7 liters of transmission fluid.
• Renew the oil and the corresponding filters every 60 thousand km, and when it is older, you should do it more often.
• At the same time, you should also take care of replacing the oil line.
• The driver must follow the driving style. Variator categorically does not tolerate sudden acceleration, braking.
• Noticing the first sign of a malfunction, you should contact Melbourne Euro for an advice, the pull chain and pulleys get worse, once chain is broken into pieces it's a big job to repair.

Melbourne Euro capabilities:

• Diagnose faults properly using the state of the art tools.
• Supply and fit Mechatronic units, unlock Component Protection, Software match and software update.
• Oil and filter service (only genuine approved oils and parts)
• Open gearbox and replace all consumables: gaskets, solenoids, filters, seals, ejection pump, etc.
• Repair chain and pulleys.
• Change ratios to match your car, for example 1.8L petrol to 2.7 Diesel.
