The fault
How you spot it
The most common source of faults on the longitudinal 7 speed S tronic that replaced the DL501 (0CJ / 0CK / 0CL) is the mechatronics unit as well. Typical faults are the input or turbine speed sensor (which makes the shifting unpredictable), clutch slip under load, and abnormal operation of the park lock.
Servicing is a separate trap: because of the way the gearbox is built, this type uses up to three separate oil chambers and three filters. An incomplete oil change looks done at a glance, but the effect is missing.

Information, not an expert opinion
We write the descriptions, and we put the source next to them. A person reviews them before they go out. They are still information, not a technical expert opinion.
- A fault on the list does not mean the car you are looking at has it.
- A fault missing from the list does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups are made model by model. Not all of them are done.
- You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
