automatic transmission Audi R8 5.2i V10 code PKL year of manufacture 2015 with 11,198km

Part Number: 0BZ300045G

Mileage: 11,198 km (Collector Grade / Low Mileage)

Year of Manufacture: 2015 (Final Year of First Generation)

The PKL is the peak evolution of the 7-speed S-tronic dual-clutch transmission (DCT) for the first-generation Audi R8. Removed from a 2015 model with only 11,198 km, this unit represents one of the lowest-mileage examples available globally. This gearbox was the primary solution for owners who found the previous R-tronic too unrefined, offering seamless shifts and a much higher degree of durability for the $5.2\text{L}$ V10.

Technical Specifications

• Transmission Family: 0BZ (DL800)

• Gearbox Type: 7-Speed Dual-Clutch (Wet)

• Drive Type: Quattro (All-Wheel Drive)

• Condition: Grade A+ (Exceptional)

• Core Application: $5.2\text{L}$ V10 FSI (Cyl. code BUJ/CTPA)

Key Features & Design

• Double-Clutch Architecture: Unlike the single-clutch predecessor, the PKL uses two separate wet clutches. One handles odd gears (1, 3, 5, 7) and the other handles even gears (2, 4, 6) plus reverse, allowing for gear changes in as little as $0.1\text{ seconds}$.

• Launch Control: This unit is programmed with Audi’s high-RPM launch protocol, enabling a $0\text{–}100\text{ km/h}$ sprint in approximately $3.6\text{ seconds}$.

• Integrated Differentials: The 0BZ housing includes both the front-axle output drive and a mechanical limited-slip rear differential.

• Thermal Management: Features a dual-circuit oil cooling system specifically designed to handle the heat soak generated by the mid-mounted V10 engine.

Professional Installation & Maintenance

Given the 11,198 km mileage, this transmission is barely through its break-in period. However, proper integration into a 2015-era R8 requires specific technical steps:

1. Component Protection: The internal Transmission Control Unit (TCU) is part of the Audi Immobilizer system. To activate the gearbox in a different vehicle, you must perform a “Component Protection” removal via Audi ODIS (online connection to the factory server required).

2. Fluid Replacement: Even with low mileage, if the unit has been stationary, the fluids can oxidize.

   • Hydraulic Side: G 052 529 A2

   • Gear Side: G 052 145 S2

   • Tip: Always replace the external filter cartridge (0BZ 325 429) during the swap.

3. Basic Setting: After the software handshake, use a diagnostic tool to perform the “Basic Setting” of the clutches and shift actuators. This calibrates the “kiss points” of the clutch packs to match the idle torque of your specific engine.

4. Hardware: The mounting bolts connecting the PKL to the V10 engine block are specialized stretch bolts. Do not reuse old hardware; use new bolts to ensure the transmission remains perfectly aligned under the V10’s high-torque loads.

Inventory Note: The PKL is a direct technical equivalent to the NXZ and PTX codes. It is the preferred gearbox for the 2013–2015 R8 V10 Facelift models.
