Model Year 20/21 What type of DSG I have?
- Thread starter Freecar
- Start date
DQ381 is used in conjunction with more powerful engines like 2.0s, as it is designed to cope with more torque. Lesser ones like 1.5 is combined with DQ200. I don't remember any exception to this but if you send your VIN to me via PM, then I'll get back to you with the definitive answer.
Hi again,
It seems that I was wrong assuming all 1.5 engines are combined with DQ200, like my Cupra Ateca 1.5.
Yours has a DQ381.
Assuming it’s the DQ381, service intervals are 80,000 miles. The attached states it’s DSG fluid only - no mention of the filter being changed.
Hi Everyone,
Another Formentor owner here, looking to find out for sure which DQ transmission is in their car.
I have a 2022 1.5tsi V2 Formentor, I have the VIN number but when I do a VIN search the transmission type never comes up?
Can someone help or confirm to me I have the DQ381 or DQ200, as I would like to do a stage 1 ECU & DSG tune, but know I can’t if I have the DQ200 and not the DQ381, thanks

You need to be on the right website or be using a dedicated application to find parts information relevant to your VIN. That mostly involves a subscription to a service where the content is provided by their official partnership with the manufacturer, or a copy of the official parts catalog application of the manufacturer, like VAG's own app ETKA.
There are other ad-driven websites that offer parts information for free but they don't have search by VIN feature and their content is mostly not up-to-date.
Anyway, I have such a subscription and try to use that to help people around here when needed. If you send me your VIN via a private message, I can look it up for you too.
DM me your VIN and I'll confirm which gearbox you haveHi Everyone,

Hi all.
I have a Cupra Formentor 1.4 2021 Automatic Hybrid. I don't have my car right now so I can't check the VIN number but I've had a Mechatronic failure How do I know what version Gearbox is in this car? Will they replace with the same unit type so could fail again?
I got the car from Arnold Clark not even 1 year ago (Dec 2024) and we are under 20k miles so I pushed this back onto them and Cupra are offering a goodwill repair and AC are also contributing to the repair. I am having to pay also but it is a small contribution compared to what the full cost is.
Are there any questions I need to be asking about this repair and the breakdown? How often should this be serviced going forward?
I feel a bit lost as to what I should be asking if anyone can help please as to what they would ask.

The service intervals are chassis specific but I'd hazard a guess that yours should be serviced every 40k miles.
Can you also help me to find out which gearbox has my Cupra Formentor ?DM me your VIN and I'll confirm which gearbox you have
Hello again,
Your 1.5 TSI Formentor has a DQ381-7F gearbox.
Engine code is DPCA, transmission code is TVE in VAG speak.
Hope this helps,
Serdar
