Golf R 4MOTION DSG DQ250 Tapered roller bearing replacement

Vehicle : 2014 VW Golf R 2.0 TSI 4motion
DSG DQ250
Issue : Gearbox noise while driving on 5th gear
After pulling out and stripping gearbox apart
We noticed only one of the tapered roller bearing  is worn. We didn’t notice any sign of wear or damage on any other components .
Magnets inside the gearbox picked all the metal filings and prevent further damage .
Parts: oil,filter’s, tapered roller bearing,
Spacer washer for bearing clearance
Quick reaction of the owner of this vehicle helped to repair this gearbox at low cost.

Ha zut, in any case beautiful video and sacred repair, bravo for your work that deserves to be emphasized. I subscribed to see if you have any other repairs as interesting as this one.

I do this all day every day for anyone attempting this make sure to lok tite the drive shaft bolts on to the drive flanges when they come loose they smash through the box also that needs more oil in should be a steady flow while running about 3 pumps more should do 3rd to half a litre

Very impressed with your skills. I wish you were in England. This video only was enough for me to trust you with my gearbox! Unfortunately my Audi A4 b9 manual transmission is having a faulty bearing noise also I think. It’s noticeable from 2nd to 6th gear. When I press the clutch is gone. Neutral is gone. Low rpm on cruise control is almost gone. As soon I just touch the accelerator the is coming back. I changed my transmission fluid today. Inside was less than a litre. Only took about 1.8 litre of the new fluid. Noise still there after the change.

Had same problem with my golf, same gear box as this. Screeching noise from 4th through to 6th gear. Was advised to Change my gearbox oil first just in case metal shards were in there causing the noise, that was fine. Took it to an automatic transmission specialist, they found my 5th gear tapered bearing had absolutely disintegrated.

Did you already solved the damaged bearing? I have also problem with tapered roller bearing on differential, same car and transmission

[@antony2711]

@@jankadlec4884 unfortunately not yet. First attempt wasn’t completely successful. Gearbox has been opened up replaced few bearings but still some noise coming from bearings between gears. Differential tapered bearing was easily accessible to be replaced tho.

@@antony2711 I have dismantled complete gearbox and replace ALL the bearings (just to be on safer side) also bearing on differential replaced and set correct pretension + correct backslash. After approx. 500km (can be opened without removing gearbox) I open the differential to see actual condition of the bearing and looks almost the same as the old one - grooves on the rolling elements.

[@antony2711]

@@jankadlec4884 That sounds completely disappointing! Maybe you were unlucky with the quality of the part? Where did you get the parts from? how much transmission fluid approximately did you filled up? Did you try to put more after driving the car for little while? Just wondering if that would make any difference.

I have a 2022 taos DSG. Purchased from auction with a front damage. Looked at your video as there is no drawings for the transmission from VW other than shaft seals. The driver axle is wobbly and there is a grinding noise coming from the inner joint of the driver axle. Wanted to see what bearings are behind the main housing.

[@kackac8277]

Unfortunately I don’t have any brake down of this gearbox. I think your gearbox is DQ380. Not this same as dq250

[@lionellamoureux8119]

Hello, your video is very interesting, having to repair my DSG, would you have the reference of the ball bearings in the DSG? Thank you.

Hello, I got part numbers and measurement out of bearings while everything was stripped. I didn’t save them unfortunately

[@piotro817]

Hey guys. Cool work. Have tested Golf Alltrack 1.8tsi (dq250), heard really weird noise up to ~40km/h. I was told it might be coming from gearbox, but I’m not sure as after ~40/50 km/h I haven’t heard it. Have U experienced something similar with Dq250 and 4motion ?

[@kackac8277]

Hello, I have to say in our case we could hear the noise traveling with a higher speed also

[@kdm_cruz510]

Does this car use a specific bearing or is any dq250 02e bearing kit gonna work? I’m asking cause i’m not sure what part numbers i need to buy and i found a bearing repair kit but it just says 02E bearing

[@kackac8277]

Not sure about that. I got mine bearing from local shop specializing in bearings only

[@JasonTheMechanic]

Where did you get that air line brake cleaner thing from?

[@kackac8277]

I think I got that from Lidl DIY Tools offer.works perfect for me

[@Mikethemechanic2023]

I have a grinding/squealing noise coming from the DSG Transmission only in Drive and Reverse. There is virtually no creep from idle to moving and a harsh engagement of first, will sometimes slip and have a hard shift from 1 to 2nd gear. I did the DSG service hoping the fresh fluid would change it. No faults in the mechatronic. I think it is fluid pressure related and possibly the trans oil pump starved or worn out. Will be checking the pressure and the exact source of the noise as well as a DSG adaptaion. Wondering if you ever ran into this type of complaint.

[@ovidiutatar394]

Hey I can say that I have the same problem, with a strange DSG DQ250 noise, it hurts in 5th and 6th gear when I press the accelerator pedal, but it seems to disappear after 2000 RPM I went to a specialized workshop for automatic gearboxes, the gearbox was disassembled and the problem was found when assembling the gearbox from the factory, it was assembled correctly but the bearings were not changed, the mechanic who took care of the gearbox did not think that they should have been changed because the bearings they had no wear or strange noise In the end, a full service was carried out for the gearbox with oil change and filters, but that sound is still in speed 5 and 6 I don't know what to believe, and what generates that sound Or maybe the bearings are noisy and without visible signs of wear ?

[@kackac8277]

I am not sure what to say. In my case damage to the bearing it was visible fairly easy.
