MK4 2.0 TDI engine & transmission codes, 4x4 drive type

Featured Replies

Hey,

I'd like to ask a few details of the new Superb series in relation to the 2.0 TDI engines.

  1. Does anyone know specifically what engine code and what transmission is used for the 150 and 193 HP versions? I mean DQ500, CFJA etc.

  2. For the 4x4 drive, it has the Haldex system or the Magna torque splitting differential?

  3. As far as I know there isn't any recommendations from the manufacturer to change the DSG oil whatsoever. What are you recommend? Change it anyways or it will be just fine?

Thanks in advance!

DQ381 for all TDI and 2.0 TSI models in Superb 4.

Haldex for 4x4 models.

The more often you change oil the better. Many people change the oil in DSG around 45-60k km. In Haldex even more often, especially on used cars.

If you plan to sell the car after 3-4 years or 120k km then factory intervals should be in most cases enough, depends on the warranty period.

I would advise changing engine and gearbox oil more often if you plan to drive it longterm without serious issues.

The moment something breakes down with the engine/transmission out of warranty, be prepared for high maintenance costs if done by decent service workshop.

Thanks for the detailed answer! :)

Do you know also the engine codes by any chance? We have a 150HP and a 193HP diesel on the way, so I'm curious about both.

A bit OT, but a manual VW/Skoda gearbox only needs a gearbox oil change every 6 years / 150k km or so, a good automatic tiptronic gearbox does not need oil/filter change more often than 8 years / 160k km. Looks like we are quickly going backwards on car's durability and maintenance intervals... progress, eh? ☹️

Service interval for VAG dual clutch gearboxes.

Haldex is 3 years or 30k miles but many now recommend 2 years or 20k miles same as the VAQ diffs.
