The DL501 transmission, also known as the S-Tronic 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, has a torque capacity of up to 600 Nm (442 lb-ft). This makes it suitable for high-performance applications like the Audi S6, which produces 450 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque.
Q2 What type of fluid is recommended for the DL501 transmission, and how often should it be changed?
What type of fluid is recommended for the DL501 transmission, and how often should it be changed?
Audi recommends using genuine Audi Dual Clutch Transmission Fluid (part number G 055 529 A2). The fluid should be changed every 40,000 miles or as specified in the vehicle's maintenance schedule. Proper fluid levels and quality are critical for optimal performance and longevity.
Q3 How does the DL501 transmission handle launch control in the Audi S6?
How does the DL501 transmission handle launch control in the Audi S6?
The DL501 transmission supports launch control, which allows the Audi S6 to achieve optimal acceleration from a standstill. When activated, the system pre-loads the drivetrain, holds the engine at optimal RPM (around 3,000-3,500 RPM), and ensures maximum torque delivery during launch. This feature is designed for occasional use to prevent excessive wear.
Q4 What are the common signs of a failing DL501 transmission in the Audi S6?
What are the common signs of a failing DL501 transmission in the Audi S6?
Common signs include rough or delayed shifting, transmission slipping, unusual noises (e.g., whining or grinding), and warning messages on the dashboard. If any of these symptoms occur, it is recommended to have the transmission inspected by a certified Audi technician immediately.
Q5 Can the DL501 transmission be reprogrammed or tuned for better performance?
Can the DL501 transmission be reprogrammed or tuned for better performance?
Yes, the DL501 transmission can be reprogrammed with aftermarket software to improve shift speed, responsiveness, and torque handling. However, such modifications may void the vehicle's warranty and should only be performed by experienced professionals familiar with Audi's systems.
