Oil circuit ? hydraulic system for Your Volkswagen Touran 4 Door First Generation (2003-2015)

Oil circuit – hydraulic system  
Oil circuit  
The double-clutch gearbox operates with two independent oil circuits using two different oils:  
- Oil circuit for mechanical gearbox  
- Oil circuit for mechatronic module  
Each oil circuit contains an oil which is specifically suitable for to its requirements.

Oil circuit - mechanical gearbox  
Oil circuit - mechatronic module  
The oil supply to the shafts and gears of the  
mechanical gearbox is carried out in the same way as  
for a normal manual gearbox. It will not therefore be  
dealt with in any greater detail here.  
The oil supply for the mechatronic unit is separate  
from the oil circuit for the mechanical gearbox.  
An oil pump delivers the oil at the pressure required  
to enable the hydraulic mechatronic unit components  
to function.  
The oil volume in the mechanical gearbox is 1.7 l.  
The oil volume in the mechatronic unit is 1.1 l.  
For the precise capacities, please refer to the current Workshop Manual,  
"The 7-speed Double-clutch Gearbox 0AM".

Hydraulic pump  
The hydraulic pump unit is located in the mechatronic  
module. It consists of a hydraulic pump and an  
electric motor.  
Hydraulic pump  
The motor for the hydraulic pump is a brushless DC  
motor. It is actuated by the mechatronic unit's  
electronic control unit depending on pressure  
requirements. It drives the hydraulic pump via a  
coupling.

Intake side  
The hydraulic pump operates according to the  
principle of a gear pump. It intakes the hydraulic oil  
and pumps it into the oil circuit at a pressure of  
approx. 70 bar.  
The hydraulic oil is pumped from the intake side to the  
pressure side between the walls of the pump housing  
and the tooth gaps.

hydraulic pump  
Like conventional, smaller DC electric motors, the  
brushless DC motor also consists of a stator and a  
rotor. Whilst the stator consists of permanent magnets  
and the rotor of electromagnets in the conventional,  
smaller electric motor, the opposite is true in the case  
of the brushless DC motor.  
Rotor with permanent  
magnets  
The rotor consists of 6 permanent magnet pairs and  
the stator of 6 electromagnet pairs.  
Electrical connection  
Electromagnet pole pairs  
How it works  
In the conventional DC motor, commutation (current  
direction change-over) takes place via ring contacts.  
Commutation in the brushless DC motor is carried out  
by the mechatronic unit's electronic control unit and is  
therefore contact-free.  
S390_085  
The stator coils are actuated in such a way that a  
rotating magnetic field occurs in the stator coils.  
The rotor follows this magnetic field and is therefore  
caused to rotate.  
Stator  
Thanks to contact-free commutation, the DC motor  
runs entirely wear-free, with the exception of bearing  
wear.

Rotor

Electrical actuation  
So that a rotational movement is carried out, the mechatronic unit control unit switches between the possible  
phases in the individual pole pairs within good time. The magnetic field changes.  
The rotor is therefore constantly compelled to turn itself and therefore carries out a rotational movement.  
The schematic shows the design of the circuit using the  
example of a wound coil.

Gearbox hydraulic pressure sender  
G270 and pressure limiting valve  
Hydraulic pressure sender  
Pressure limiting valve  
The hydraulic pump pumps the hydraulic oil through  
the filter towards the pressure limiting valve, the  
pressure accumulator and the hydraulic pressure  
sender.  
When the hydraulic oil pressure at the pressure  
limiting valve and the hydraulic pressure sender  
reaches approx. 70 bar, the control unit switches the  
electric motor and therefore the hydraulic pump off.  
The bypass ensures that the system functions if the  
filter channel is clogged.

Pressure accumulator  
Pressure accumulator  
The pressure accumulator is designed as a gas  
pressure accumulator.  
It provides the hydraulic system with oil pressure  
when the hydraulic pump is switched off.  
Its storage volume is 0.2 litres.

Gear selector solenoid valves  
The gear selector solenoid valves control the volume  
of oil to the gear selectors. Each gear selector shifts  
2 gears. If no gear is engaged, the gear selectors are  
held in the neutral position via oil pressure.  
In selector lever position "P" and when the ignition is  
switched off, 1st gear and reverse gear are engaged.

Shifting the gears  
As in the case of conventional manual gearboxes,  
the gears are shifted using selector forks.  
Each selector fork shifts two gears.  
The selector forks are mounted on both sides in the  
gearbox housing.

When changing gears, the selector forks are moved

Gear selectors and selector forks  
The gear selector piston is connected to the selector  
fork. To change gears, oil pressure is applied to the  
gear selector piston, thereby moving it. When it  
moves, it also moves the selector fork and the sliding  
sleeve. The sliding sleeve actuates the synchronising  
hub and the gear is engaged.

Gear changes  
As in the case of the direct shift gearbox 02E, the selector forks are actuated hydraulically.  
To change the gears, the mechatronic electronic control unit actuates the corresponding gear selector solenoid  
valve.  
How it works  
Initial position  
Changing to 1st gear is shown here as an example.  
The gear selector piston is held in neutral position "N"  
via the oil pressure controlled by gear selector  
solenoid valve N433 for gears 1 and 3. No gear is  
engaged.

Changing to 1st gear  
To change to 1st gear, the gear selector valve increases the oil pressure in the left piston chamber. As a result of this,  
the gear selector piston is pushed to the right. As the selector fork and the sliding sleeve are connected to the gear  
selector piston, they also move to the right.  
Due to the sliding sleeve's movement, 1st gear is engaged.

Clutch actuators  
Clutches K1 and K2 are actuated hydraulically. To achieve this, the mechatronic unit contains a clutch actuator  
for each clutch.  
A clutch actuator consists of a clutch actuator cylinder and a clutch actuator piston. The clutch actuator piston  
actuates the clutch engaging lever. The clutch actuator piston is equipped with a permanent magnet, which is  
lk  
required by the clutch travel sender to detect the piston position.  
To prevent detection of the piston position from being impaired, the actuator cylinder and the actuator piston  
must not be magnetic.

Clutch not actuated  
The clutch actuator piston is in the resting position.  
The solenoid valve N435 is open in the return flow  
direction. The oil pressure from the gear train half  
pressure control valve N436 flows into the  
mechatronic unit's oil reservoir.

Clutch actuated  
If clutch K1 is to be actuated, the solenoid valve N435  
is actuated by the electronic control unit. When  
actuated, it opens the oil channel to the clutch  
actuator, and oil pressure is built up at the rear of  
the clutch actuator piston. The clutch actuator piston  
moves and thereby actuates the K1 clutch engaging  
lever. Clutch K1 is closed. The control unit receives a  
signal regarding the precise position of the clutch via  
clutch travel sender 1 G167.  
Clutch slip, the speed difference between the gearbox  
input speed and drive shaft speed, is achieved by  
solenoid valve N435 by controlling the oil pressure  
between the clutch actuator and the return flow.
