Automatic Transmission Accumulator valve body and Accumulator

Technical Data

Kit Components

1. Valve Body:
   • A multi-valve assembly that controls the flow of hydraulic fluid, directing it to the appropriate transmission components for smooth shifting.
   • Includes solenoids, sensors, and pressure regulators.
2. Accumulator:
   • Stores hydraulic fluid under pressure, releasing it as needed to regulate shifts and provide smoother engagement.
   • Ensures accurate fluid pressure and improves the overall lifespan of the transmission system.
3. Seals and Gaskets:
   • Prevent fluid leaks and maintain proper hydraulic pressure in the valve body.
   • Provide the necessary sealing to prevent contamination of transmission fluid.
4. Solenoids:
   • Electro-hydraulic devices that control fluid flow based on signals from the vehicle’s transmission control unit (TCU).
   • Regulate shifting and engagement timing.
5. Sensor Assembly:
   • Monitors fluid levels, pressure, and temperature to ensure that the transmission operates efficiently.
   • Sends feedback to the TCU for optimized shift behavior.

More Details

1. High-Quality Construction:
   The Valve Body and Accumulator are constructed from high-strength steel, aluminum, and composite materials to withstand the high temperatures and pressures found within the transmission. These durable materials ensure long-term reliability and performance, reducing the likelihood of failure or wear over time.
2. Precise Fluid Management:
   The Valve Body is responsible for directing hydraulic fluid throughout the transmission, and it ensures that the fluid is delivered in precise amounts and at the correct pressure. This regulation is crucial for smooth gear shifts, optimal acceleration, and the prevention of jerky or harsh shifts.
3. Smoother Gear Shifting:
   The Accumulator helps to smooth out the transition between gears by absorbing fluctuations in hydraulic pressure. This reduces the risk of rough or delayed shifting and ensures that each gear change is seamless, improving overall driving comfort.
4. Enhanced Fuel Efficiency:
   Proper hydraulic pressure management not only improves the longevity of the transmission but also enhances fuel efficiency. Smooth and precise shifting reduces unnecessary engine load and optimizes vehicle performance, leading to better fuel consumption rates.
5. Wide Compatibility:
   The Valve Body and Accumulator kit is compatible with a variety of Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, and SEAT models that feature the DQ200 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. This makes it a versatile option for those needing to replace or upgrade these essential components.
6. OEM Replacement:
   This Valve Body and Accumulator Kit is designed as an OEM replacement, ensuring that the components fit perfectly and meet the factory specifications for performance and quality. It’s an ideal solution for restoring or maintaining the operation of the DQ200 transmission.
7. Improved Transmission Longevity:
   By ensuring the correct flow of hydraulic fluid and pressure, this kit helps to reduce wear and tear on the transmission components, thereby extending the life of the transmission and preventing premature failure.
8. Easy Installation:
   The kit is designed for straightforward installation, with no need for additional modifications or complex adjustments. As a direct replacement for factory parts, the components fit easily into the DQ200 transmission and provide immediate performance improvements.
