Complete DQ500 Transmission, Code QYQ This is a used, original VW DQ500 7-speed DSG transmission with gearbox code QYQ, supplied as a complete unit including the mechatronics (hydraulic block and TCU already fitted). It is intended as a direct, like-for-like replacement for a vehicle originally equipped with this exact gearbox code.
Gearbox Code & What It Means
Transmission Family:
DQ500 / 0BH (7-speed wet-clutch DSG)
Why the Gearbox Code Matters VW Group gearboxes are built in many engine- and drivetrain-specific variants, each identified by a 3-letter code stamped on the transmission casing. QYQ is confirmed for the VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI 4Motion, but the same code can appear on other models sharing the identical engine/drivetrain combination. Always check the code on your original gearbox or vehicle documentation before ordering — a mismatch in code can mean incompatible gear ratios or software, even within the same DQ500 family.

Product Description
This used, original DQ500 transmission, gearbox code QYQ, is a complete unit supplied with the mechatronics (hydraulic block and TCU) already fitted — unlike a mechatronic-only replacement, there is nothing extra to source or combine. It is intended as a direct swap for a failed or damaged gearbox carrying the same QYQ code.

- Mechatronics unit (hydraulic valve body + TCU) already installed
- Internal shafts, bearings and seals as supplied with the used unit
Important Product Note This is a used, original VW transmission supplied complete with its mechatronics. Every unit is checked before dispatch, and the 3-month warranty covers correct installation and trial operation under normal use.
Vehicle Compatibility
Gearbox code QYQ is confirmed for the model below. The DQ500 (0BH) family is also used across other VW Group models with similar engine/drivetrain combinations, but always match the exact code before ordering a complete transmission.
Confirmed Application
- VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI 4Motion
Other DQ500 Platform Vehicles (verify code separately)
- VW Passat 4Motion
- VW Transporter T5 / T6, Multivan, Caravelle
- VW Amarok
- Audi Q3
- Audi TT
- Škoda Superb 4x4
- SEAT Alhambra 4Drive
Compatibility Check Recommended A complete transmission is a larger investment than a mechatronic unit alone, so getting the code right matters. Send us your VIN number or the gearbox code stamped on your old transmission and we will confirm fitment before you order.
Common Fault Codes & Symptoms
A worn or faulty DQ500 transmission can produce the symptoms below. Replacing the complete unit resolves faults that originate in the gearbox itself, not only in the mechatronics.
-
P0607 Control Module Performance / internal fault
-
P1735 Gear control fault
-
P1736 Gear control fault
-
P179C Clutch Actuator Stuck Off / clutch control fault
-
P2716 Pressure Control Solenoid Stuck Off
-
No communication Transmission not responding correctly during diagnostics
-
Limp mode Gearbox enters emergency operating mode
- Grinding, whining or clunking noise from the transmission
- Jerking, delayed engagement or unstable shifting under load
Diagnostic Note Some of these symptoms can also come from wiring, sensors or the surrounding drivetrain. Proper diagnosis before replacing a complete transmission is strongly recommended.
Installation & Service Notes
Recommended Steps
- Check the gearbox code stamped on your original transmission and confirm it matches QYQ
- Confirm your vehicle, engine and drivetrain match the gearbox code before ordering
- Install the transmission carefully using professional workshop procedures
- Carry out vehicle-specific programming and basic settings with a suitable diagnostic tool
- Perform a fluid check and top-up as needed for the DSG system
- Test drive and verify smooth shifting across all gears after installation
Important Installation Note This is a complete transmission with integrated mechatronics. Incorrect installation or mismatched vehicle software can prevent correct operation. Installation and programming by a DSG specialist is strongly recommended.
Why a Complete Transmission Replacement
1. Nothing Extra to Source
Supplied with the mechatronics already fitted, so there is no need to separately source or pair a hydraulic block and TCU.
2. Resolves Gearbox-Internal Faults
A complete transmission swap addresses wear in the gear sets, clutch packs or shafts that a mechatronic-only replacement cannot fix.
3. Code-Matched Replacement
Using the exact QYQ gearbox code helps ensure correct gear ratios and software compatibility with your vehicle.
4. Checked Before Dispatch
Every unit is tested before it leaves our workshop, giving you a reliable, ready-to-fit replacement.
