Refurbished (road tested) VAG CVT VL-380 0AW transmission - transmission code LAU

Complete Audi 0AW (Multitronic) CVT Overhaul Process

To restore your Audi's transmission to peak factory performance, we perform a comprehensive, step-by-step rebuild targeting all major wear points in the 0AW gearbox.

1. Wet Clutch Assembly Restoration (Forward & Reverse) The clutch assembly is responsible for smooth shifting into gear. Over time, the internal materials degrade, causing slipping or delayed engagement.

• Friction & Steel Plates: We replace all worn friction plates and the waved steel disks with brand-new, high-quality components.

• Hydraulic Seals: We replace all internal rubber seals to ensure the system holds the correct hydraulic pressure.

• Planetary Gear Inspection: We carefully inspect the planetary gear set to guarantee reliable operation when shifting between Drive and Reverse.

2. Aluminum Case Repair & Reinforcement A common and critical issue with the 0AW transmission is the output pulley's ball bearing spinning and damaging the internal aluminum housing.

• Instead of simply replacing the bearing, we precision-machine and repair the damaged aluminum case. This structural repair secures the new bearing properly, preventing the issue from returning and extending the life of the transmission.

3. CVT Chain Replacement The drive chain is the backbone of the continuously variable transmission, transferring power from the engine to the wheels.

• We remove the stretched or worn chain and install a brand-new, heavy-duty replacement. This eliminates shuddering during acceleration and restores efficient power delivery.

4. Valve Body (Hydraulic Control) Repair The valve body acts as the hydraulic "brain" of your gearbox, directing fluid to change gear ratios.

• We fully disassemble, clean, and repair the valve body. This corrects pressure losses, eliminates harsh engagements, and ensures the transmission's computer can smoothly and accurately control the new mechanical components.

5. Real-World Road Testing & Quality Assurance A rebuild is not complete until it has been proven under real driving conditions.

• After the transmission is fully assembled, installed, and filled with premium CVT fluid, we take the vehicle for a comprehensive road test. This allows us to verify smooth, seamless acceleration, flawless clutch engagement, and perfect hydraulic operation before the keys are handed back to you.

Why this matters for your vehicle: By addressing the hydraulic control (valve body), the power transfer (chain and clutches), the structural integrity (case repair), and verifying it all on the road, this comprehensive service prevents future breakdowns and ensures a smooth, reliable drive.
