Pressure Control & Clutch Cooling Valve – Audi Q3 RS3 TT RS DQ500 S-tronic

This solenoid valve is used twice in the DQ500 S-tronic transmission, serving as the line pressure control valve (N472) and the clutch cooling valve (N471). N472 regulates the main hydraulic pressure, ensuring smooth gear shifts and proper clutch engagement. N471 controls the flow of cooling oil to the dual clutch, helping to maintain safe operating temperatures, especially under high load. A malfunction of N472 may lead to hard or delayed shifts, poor drivability, or activation of limp mode. If N471 fails, the clutch can overheat, triggering protective functions and reducing performance. Both valves are essential for the reliable operation of the transmission. We supply original solenoid valves from BorgWarner – exactly the same parts that are installed in the transmission during vehicle production.
