5-speed Automatic Transmission 01v Audi A4 B6

Transmission Identification

The 5-speed automatic transmission 01V is installed in the Audi A4 2002 and up in conjunction with the 4 and 6-cylinder engines. Allocation --> Code letters, allocation, ratios, equipment .

Scheme 835

Transmission code letters are located on the data plate under the transmission (arrow).

There is another identical data plate on side of transmission which is not accessible with the transmission installed.

Scheme 836

Transmission serial number (arrow 1)

Transmission identification (arrow 2)

Code letter (arrow 3)

The transmission code letters are also listed on the vehicle data plates.

Self-study program number. 180 informs extensively about the function of this transmission.

Torque converter

The torque converter is equipped with a lock-up clutch. The lock-up clutch is closed load- and speed-dependant with minimum pulsations and mechanically drives all forward gears independent of slip.

Transmission

5-speed automatic transmission 01V is equipped with 5 hydraulically activated forward gears. By passing the torque converter slip, these forward gears become mechanically driven gears if the lock-up clutch is closed.

On Board Diagnostic (OBD)

Before performing service work on the automatic transmission, cause of damage must be exactly determined via "Guided Fault Finding".

"Guided Fault Finding" is performed using the tester VAS5051.

Transmission Control Module (TCM) J217 with driving situation shifting (fuzzy logic)

Driving situation- and driving resistance dependent shift point determination is performed automatically.

Advantages

1. It is shifted depending on consumption
2. Highest engine performance is always available
3. Individual adaptation of shift points in all driving situations
4. Arbitrarily changed shift points

Shift point change when driving up- or downhill ranges

At uphill or downhill ranges, the shifts are automatically selected dependent on the accelerator pedal position and vehicle speed via additional shift characteristics maps.

1. Shift characteristics map for extreme uphill driving is adapted to the engine performance.
2. Shift characteristics map for extreme downhill driving is adapted to the braking effect of the engine.

All Wheel Drive (AWD)

*11 mm intermediate plate is installed between engine and transmission.

Rear final drive, identification

Vehicles with all wheel drive automatic transmission 01V are equipped with rear final drive 01R.
