INTRODUCTION
AUDI A4, A5, A6 & A7

0AW MULTITRONIC CVT 8 SPEED
Audi's transmission models VL380/381 is commonly known as the CVT Multitronic eight Speed 0AW
transmission. It replaces the previous VL300 six speed Multitronic 01J transmission. This 8 speed CVT is
currently being used in the following vehicles:
07-16.....Audi.....A4
06-16.....Audi.....A5
09-16.....Audi.....A5 Sportback
11-16.....Audi.....A6
10-16.....Audi.....A7
Although there are similarities between the 01J and the 0AW, they are significantly different. The purpose of
this seminar is to familiarize you with the internal components of the 0AW transmission. The Audi Self Study
Program 228 (SSP-228) can be easily downloaded from the internet which provides a detailed look at the 01J
transmission. This can be used along with this handout to compare the similarities and differences between these
two transmissions.
The 0AW Multitronic is a front wheel drive CVT transmission and will drive as such in the "D" range. In the
driving program "S", eight stepped ratios are shifted automatically. These same eight stepped ratios can be
manually operated in the Tiptronic mode through the shifter or steering wheel paddles.
The transmission weighs approximately 262 lbs. (118.5 kg). The maximum gearbox input torque is 380Nm (280
ft. lbs) as opposed to the 01J which was 330Nm (243 ft. lbs). Input torque is delivered through a dual mass
flywheel which drives the input shaft. The forward or reverse clutch is used to connect the input torque to the
variator (primary and secondary pulleys and chain). When in gear (forward or reverse), at a stop, the clutch is
released to prevent engine stall. There are various drive-off strategies in which the clutch is engaged to launch
the vehicle. For example, in the economy drive mode, a small accelerator pedal angle during the drive-off
process, the transition from engine idle speed to drive-off engine speed is performed at low revs. Short clutch
slip times and low engine speed allow for smooth engagement and higher fuel economy.

In addition to the 0AW transmission being placed into Audi's A4, A5, A5 Sportback, A6 and A7 vehicles, it
is also being powered by anyone of their (L4) 1.8L, 2.0L, (V6) 2.7L, 3.0L or 3.2L engines. As a result, this
transmission comes with different gear ratios. Transmission exchange or parts replacement must be done
using the transmission code dot-peened into the top of the case as shown and identified above. The
transmission code is also listed on the vehicle data plate (usually in the trunk area) should obtaining this
code from the transmission be not possible.

0AW TRANSMISSION DISASSEMBLY
Basic Disassembly Procedures:
1. Begin by removing three axle plate retaining bolts

(figure 1), and pull the front axle shaft and bearing
from the converter housing (figure 2).
2. Carefully lift the drive plate/dampner assembly

from the transmission (figure 3). There is a special
tool (handle) available to help support the assembly
during removal; part number T40176.
3. Using a number 45 torx, remove ten steel front

differential cover retaining bolts (figure 4), then
carefully pry and remove the front differential
assembly from the converter housing (figure 5). Figure 3
Figure 1 Figure 4
Figure 2 Figure 5

4. Using a suitable pair of snap ring plyers, remove the
front cover retaining snap ring (figure 6).
5. Make alignment marks to the cover and case to be

used when installing the assembly back into the case
(figure 7).
6. Using special tool T40050 or equivalent, install it

onto the input shaft as seen in figure 8. Audi mounts
the transmission vertically and uses a hoist (VAS
6100) to pull the input shaft cover assembly from the
transmission (figure 9). A pry bar was carefully used
as seen in figure 10 to pop the assembly free from the
case. Once the bar was removed the assembly can be
Figure 6 carefully lifted from the transmission.
Figure 7 Figure 9
Figure 8 Figure 10

7. Remove the reverse brake assembly and seal from
the case (figures 11 and 12).
8. Spin the transmission around and remove twelve

aluminum end cover to case attaching bolts using a #
45 torx (figure 13).
9. With the end cover removed, use a # 30 torx and

remove three steel control unit (TCM) to valve body
attaching bolts (figure 14). Note: It would be best to be
grounded with the use of a wrist strap to prevent
damage to the TCM.
10. Unhook the manual lever detent spring from the

lever (figure 15). Figure 13
Figure 11 Figure 14
Figure 12 Figure 15

11. Remove the selector lever lock mechanism being
careful to not lose the detent roller (figure 16).
12. Using a 10mm socket remove three steel valve

body to case attaching bolts (figure 17) and carefully
remove the valve body and pump assembly from the
case (figure 18).
13. Remove three large and one small axial seals as as

identified by arrows in figure 19.
14. The feed pipe for the reverse brake will come out
of the case with the small axial seal (figure 20).
Figure 16
Figure 17 Figure 19
Figure 18 Figure 20

15. Remove the primary and secondary pulley speed
sensor exciter wheels being careful to not distort the
wheels if they are to be reused (figures 21 and 22).
16. Using suitable snap ring plyers, remove retaining

snap rings from the primary pulley shaft and
secondary pulley bearing as seen in figures 23 and 24.
17. To separate the variator case cover from the

flywheel housing, begin by removing thirteen # 45
aluminum attaching bolts along the side, across the
top and down the opposite side of the case cover
(figure 25). There are eight remaining # 45 torx
aluminum attaching bolts across the bottom that
require individual attention passing an extension Figure 23
through access holes in the case.
Figure 21 Figure 24
Figure 22 Figure 25

18. Before separating the variator case cover from the
flywheel housing, remove the check plug (figure 26)
and check pipe (figure 27) to prevent damage to the
check pipe.
19. Carefully separate the variator case cover from the

flywheel housing (figure 28). The variator will move
slightly out of the flywheel housing in the process.
20. Carefully remove the variator assembly from the

housing (figure 29).
21. Remove two 6mm allen head bolts that retain the
park guide assembly (figure 30).
Figure 26
Figure 27 Figure 29
Figure 28 Figure 30

22. Carefully remove the bracket, park rod guide,
tension spring and park pawl from the housing (figure
31). And then remove the oil baffle from the
transmission (figure 32).
23. Use a # 40 torx to remove the two upper suction jet

pump attaching bolts. Then use an M8 12 point torx to
remove the bottom suction jet pump attaching bolt
(figure 33) and remove the suction jet pump assembly.
24. Remove the remaining five #45 torx aluminum

bolts retaining the transfer gear case cover (figure 34)
and remove the cover.
25. Using a # 30 torx, remove three AFT cooler to Figure 33

lubrication filter attaching bolts (figure 35).
Figure 31 Figure 34
Figure 32 Figure 35

26. Using a flat bladed screwdriver or equivalent, lift
the filter assembly from the filter base distributor unit
(figure 36).
27. Using a flat blade screwdriver, remove the retainer

clip attaching the "distributor base to the valve body"
pipe (figure 37) and then remove the pipe (figure 38).
28. Remove two # 45 torx bolts retaining the filter

base distributor unit to the case (figure 39).
29. Remove the filter base distributor unit from the

case (figure 40).
Figure 36
Figure 37 Figure 39
Figure 38 Figure 40

Note: To disassemble the unit any further will require
special tools that have yet been made available.
30. There is a pinion shaft o-ring and two back to back

seals used to prevent the transmission and differential
fluid from mixing with each other. To service these
seals and o-ring, remove the pinion shaft drive gear's
retaining snap ring and shim (figure 41).
31. A puller may be needed to remove the drive gear.

In some cases a slight tapping of the shaft will work
the gear off its spline. Once free, the gear and seal
inner race can be removed (figure 42). With the drive
gear removed, the o-ring and the two back to back
seals can be removed as seen in figures 43, 44 and 45. Figure 43
Figure 41 Figure 44
Figure 42 Figure 45

20. Place the cylinder onto the input shaft assembly
securing it to the assembly with the washer shown in
figure 26. Rotate the washer as seen in figure 27.
Carefully lift the finger lock to prevent the washer
from spinning. Caution! If not careful, the little finger
will break off. If it does break off, a new washer will
need to be obtained. Another option would be to
secure the washer to the assembly with a set screw.
21. Install a new o-ring (figure 28) followed by a new

Teflon ring into the same groove (figure 29) and
lubricate with gel.
22. Use the pressure plate to size the new ring to the

22. Install a new bottom shim the same thickness as
the one removed (figure 31), followed by the
corrugated washer for clutch clearance check only
(figure 32).
23. Install the friction and steels with all the frictions
aligned into the drum assembly (figure 33) ending
with a new top shim the same thickness as the one
removed (figure 34).
24. Place 4 four gauge blocks part number T40101

onto the top shim as seen in figure 35. These shims
measure 10mm (.394in) in thickness and weighs
.0226 kilograms (.05lbs).
Figure 31
Figure 32 Figure 34
Figure 33 Figure 35

0AW FORWARD CLUTCH
25. Place two rulers (part # T4010) onto the gauging
blocks as seen in figure 36. (These rulers are metal
flat stock weighing 1.250 Kilograms (2.75lbs) each
and measures 7.62mm (.300in) in thickness). Take
four 90° measurements from the ruler to the top shim
and total them. Divide by four to get the average for
value A. Repeat the same by going from the ruler to
the stop ring as seen in figure 37 to acquire value B.
Subtract A from B to get value K (B - A = K).
26. Place two gauge blocks onto the smooth contact

point of the pressure plate (not on the edge) as seen in
figure 38. Lay one ruler (flat stock) across the blocks
(figure 39). Take four 90° measurements from the
ruler to the upper contact point of the pressure plate to Figure 36
get the average for value A. Then take four 90°
measurements from the ruler to the lower contact
point of the pressure plate to get the averages for value
B (figure 40). Subtract A from B to get value D (B - A
= D).
27. Now subtract K from D to acquire the clutch

clearance. Using this transmission as an example,
value K was 22.174mm (.873in) and value D was
23.749mm (.935in). Subtracting value K from D
would then look like this:
23.749mm - 22.174mm = 1.574mm clutch clearance.
0.935in - 0.873in = 0.062in clutch clearance.

Figure 37
28. The manufacturer's clutch clearance
specifications for this transmission is 1.8mm +/-
0.2mm (0.070in +/- 0.0078in). Note: The 01J spec is
1.4mm but 1.2mm worked better. To adjust, there are
five selective shim thicknesses available:
a) 1.90mm (.074in) Part # - 01J 398 944 E

b) 2.15mm (.084in) Part # - 01J 398 944 F
c) 2.65mm (.104in) Part # - 01J 398 944 G
d) 2.90mm (.114in) Part # - 01J 398 944 H
e) 3.15mm (.124in) Part # - 01J 398 944 J
29. To verify clutch clearance, begin by moving the

corrugated washer from the bottom of the clutch stack
up to the top keeping the friction plates aligned (figure
41).
Figure 38

0AW FORWARD CLUTCH
30. Lubricate the new forward clutch piston seal with
gel and install the piston into the pressure plate (figure
42). Then evenly press both the pressure plate and
piston into the input shaft/forward clutch assembly
(figure 43).
31. Use special tool part number VW 416b, or acquire

a suitable socket that can be used to press down on the
center of the piston with the help of a second
technician (figure 44). Install special feeler gauges
part number T40102 (figure 44), between the pressure
plate and the corrugated washer as shown in figure 45.
32. Have a second technician press down on the piston

Figure 39 (figure 45). The feeler gauges should be able to move
freely 90° in each direction.
Figure 40 Figure 42
Figure 41 Figure 43

0AW FORWARD CLUTCH
33. Carefully press the input shaft cover onto the input
shaft assembly as shown in figure 46. See page 48 for
servicing the reverse piston in the input shaft cover.
34. Install the locking ring onto the input shaft

followed by a new cover seal (figure 46). There are
four thicknesses available:
a) 1.63mm (0.064in) Part # N 902 941 15

b) 1.72mm (0.068in) Part # N 902 941 16
c) 1.80mm (0.071in) Part # N 902 941 17
d) 1.90mm (0.075in) Part # N 902 941 18
35. Lubricate the new seals on the oil pipe with gel
and install into the input shaft as shown in figure 48. Figure 46
Figure 44 Figure 47
Figure 45 Figure 48

0AW REVERSE PISTON
Servicing the Reverse Piston:
1. Using a suitable press, compress the reverse

piston's belleville spring and remove the retaining
snap ring (figure 1). Remove the belleville spring and
piston from the cover.
2. If the input shaft bearing needs to be serviced,

remove the retaining snap ring and bearing from the
cover (figure 2). When installing the bearing, be sure
the closed side faces down (figure 3).
3. Install a new molded piston into the cover and bring

to a press to compress the belleville spring and install
Figure 1 the retaining snap ring (figure 4). Install a new cover
o-ring and lubricate with gel (figure 5).
Figure 2 Figure 4
Figure 3 Figure 5

0AW CHAIN AND PULLEYS
Servicing the Pulleys:
1. At the time of printing, the pulley set (figure 1) is

not serviced by the manufacturer. If it is damaged, the
transmission is replaced. Some of the 01J special
tools will be used to show a tear down procedure for
reference only. Begin by using a pulley opener to
compress the secondary pulley tension spring and
then separate the pulleys and chain (figures 2 and 3).
2. Remove the nut (reverse threads) from the back

side of the secondary pulley (figure 4). Using a
bearing separator, press the bearing off (figure 5).
This will require an assistant to support and catch the
pulley. Figure 3
Figure 1 Figure 4
Figure 2 Figure 5

3. Once the bearing has been removed, screw the nut
back on the shaft finger tight. Using the same bearing
separator, carefully press the shaft and stationary
sheave half from the moveable sheave assembly
(figure 6).
4. There is one o-ring on this shaft as seen in figures 7

and 8.
5. The moveable sheave half of the secondary pulley

is an enclosed unit preventing it from being serviced
(figures 9 and 10). To disassemble it any further will
require special tooling to keep the spring compressed,
while cutting the unit open in a similar manner as one
Figure 6 would with a torque converter.
Figure 7 Figure 9
Figure 8 Figure 10

6. Install a new o-ring onto the secondary pulley shaft
and lubricate with gel (figure 11).
7. Using a 3 inch PVC pipe or equivalent, carefully

press the secondary pulley unit onto the pulley shaft
(figure 12).
8. Using a hardened socket or equivalent, press the

secondary pulley support bearing onto the shaft
(figure 13).
9. Install a new secondary pulley nut by hand (left

hand thread) and then tighten using the 01J special
socket (figure 14).
Figure 13
10. Stake the new nut to the shaft (figure 15).
Figure 11 Figure 14
Figure 12 Figure 15

11. The only item that can be inspected with the
primary pulley assembly is the drive gear's ball
bearing. This is done by removing the nut using a
special 01J socket as seen in figure 16.
12. With the nut removed, the drive gear and bearing's
outer race can be removed along with eleven ball
bearings and one half of the inner race (figure 17). The
other half of the inner race is pressed onto the shaft
(figure 18) and will need to be removed only if the
bearing needs replacement.
13. The drive gear is spline to a continuously variable

hydro-mechanical torque sensor which is integral to
Figure 16 the primary pulley unit (figures 19 and 20 ).
Figure 17 Figure 19
Hydro-mechanical

Figure 18 Figure 20

14. With one half of the inner race being pressed onto
the shaft, the drive gear with the bearing's outer race
can be held in place with one hand. Each ball can then
be dropped into place with the other hand (figure 21).
15. Once all the balls are in place the other half of the
inner race can be placed into position (figure 22).
16. Install the nut by hand (figure 23) and tighten

using the special 01J socket (figure 24).
17. Once the nut is tightened, stake it to the shaft

(figure 25).

Setting up the Reverse Clutch:
40. The top and bottom steel plates are referred to as

shims; they are selective plates. The first step is to
measure each one and note their thickness for future
reference.
Figure 51 shows the top plate measuring 2.667mm

(.105").
Figure 52 shows measuring the bottom plate (this sits

against the corrugated/wavy plate). It measured
1.905mm (.075").
Once these two plates have been identified and Figure 51

measured, set them aside.
41. The next step is to use a digital depth gauge or

equivalent (figure 53) and measure from the contact
surface of the input shaft cover to the contact surface
of the corrugated washer (wavy plate). Write it down
and repeat this measurement at two other places, add
them and divide by three to get the average. Note this
as measurement B.
Example:
Measurement 1: 30.353mm
Figure 52
Total: 87.004mm ÷ 3 = 29.001mm
Measurement B for this transmission is 29mm
42. The next step (see following page) is to stack up all

pre-soaked friction and steel plates having all the steel
plates aligned. Begin with the corrugated washer
(wavy plate), followed by a friction, then steel plate,
ending with a friction plate.
Place the same two rulers (part # T4010) shown in the

forward clutch set up on top of the reverse clutch stack
up as seen in figure 54. Note: These rulers are metal
flat stock weighing 1.250 Kilograms (2.75lbs) each
and measures 7.62mm (.300in) in thickness.
Figure 53

The weight of the rulers presses the air out from
between the plates and exerts the specified 2.5
Kilograms (5.5lbs) load on the corrugated washer so
it is compressed.
Measure from the top of the friction plate to the bench

as seen in figure 54. Make a total of 4 measurements
90° apart. Add them together and divide by four to get
an average and note this as measurement A.
Measurement A for this transmission was 27.56mm
43. The next step is to place the corrugated washer

into the input shaft cover. Make two measurements
180° apart from each other from the top of the
Figure 54 corrugated washer to the input shaft cover contact
surface as seen in figure 55. Add the two numbers
together and divide by two to get the average
(Example: 4.32mm). Then measure the thickness of
the corrugated washer (Example: 1.91mm). Add
these two calculations together: 4.32 + 1.91 =
6.23mm. This is measurement C.
To determine the new shims (top and bottom spacer

plates), measurement B and C are added together and
subtracted by measurement A and 3.0mm for
clearance. Example: 29mm + 6.23mm - 27.56mm -
3.0mm = 4.67mm (final calculation).
Using the chart in figure 56, 4.67mm is between 4.436

and 4.675. This means the bottom shim needs to be
Figure 55 1.90mm and the top shim needs to be 2.90mm to
acquire the correct reverse clutch clearance.

44. Once the appropriate top and bottom shims have
been determined (selective steel plates), install the
corrugated washer (wavy plate) into the housing first
as seen in figure 57. Then install the bottom adjusting
shim up against the corrugated washer (figure 58).
Alternately install all pre-soaked friction (figure 59)
and steel plates ending with the top adjusting shim
(figure 60).
45. Lubricate the new o-ring with gel on the input

shaft cover (figure 61) and install the input shaft
assembly into the housing (figure 62). Use a small
pair of vice grips to rotate the input shaft indexing the
forward drum into the reverse frictions. Use the marks
made from the cover to the housing during Figure 59
disassembly to properly align the cover (figure 62).
Figure 57 Figure 60
Figure 58 Figure 61

If the filter assembly has yet to be installed, the drive
gear can be accessed and rotated with the use flat
blade screwdriver to index the frictions to the drum
(figure 63). Be sure the assembly fully seats and then
install the retaining snap ring (figure 64).
46. If a new cover is being used, install the thickest

available snap ring from a choice of three: 3.035mm,
3.080mm and 3.125mm.
47. Install the drive plate/dampner assembly into the

transmission (figure 65) and then the axle (figure 66).
Tighten the three axle flange retaining bolts to 10 Nm
+ a 90° turn.
