Clutch Solenoid Valve – Porsche Macan PDK
Two clutch solenoid valves are used in the Porsche Macan PDK transmission, one for each clutch circuit. They control the hydraulic pressure required to engage and disengage the clutches, ensuring smooth and precise shifting. A defective valve can cause symptoms such as rough gear changes, delayed engagement, clutch slippage, or loss of drive in one gear set. We supply original clutch solenoid valves from BorgWarner – exactly the same parts that are installed in the transmission during vehicle production.
Dual Clutch – Porsche Macan PDK
The dual clutch in the Porsche Macan’s PDK transmission uses two wet multi-plate clutches with alternating friction discs and steel lamellae to independently engage odd and even gear sets, enabling rapid gear shifts with uninterrupted power delivery. This is a brand-new clutch, supplied by the original equipment manufacturer – exactly the same parts installed in the transmission at the factory.
Maintenance Kit – Porsche Macan PDK
The maintenance kit for the Porsche Macan PDK transmission includes all necessary gaskets, seals, o-rings, and other plastic and rubber components required for the repair or refurbishment of the transmission and its hydraulic controller. This comprehensive kit ensures that every essential part is available for effective maintenance, supporting the transmission’s performance and longevity.
Pressure Sensor – Porsche Macan PDK
Two of these sensors are installed in the PDK system to measure the hydraulic pressure at the clutches.
Printed Circuit Boards – Porsche Macan PDK
The printed circuit boards (PCB) are crucial components of the Porsche Macan PDK transmission and are directly connected with the transmission control module (TCM). Various sensors are mounted on these boards, including the gearbox input shaft sensor and gear sensor. A defective PCB can cause various issues in the vehicle’s transmission system, including implausible signals from the engine control unit and electrical faults in multiple solenoid valves across different sub-transmissions. Additionally, problems can arise with the main pressure valve, cooling oil valve, and clutch temperature monitoring system, potentially leading to torque limitations due to high clutch temperatures. These electrical malfunctions can significantly affect the overall performance and reliability of the transmission system.
Transmission Oil Filter – Porsche Macan PDK
The transmission oil filter is an essential component in the Porsche Macan PDK transmission that removes contaminants and metal particles from the transmission fluid, ensuring smooth and reliable gear changes. Over time, the filter can become clogged, reducing fluid flow and impairing the performance of the transmission system. Regular replacement is important to prevent premature wear, overheating, and costly transmission damage. Symptoms of a blocked filter may include delayed or harsh shifting, unusual noises, or transmission overheating.
