DL501 DSG S-Tronic Valve Body repair
12-month warranty2–5 day turnaroundTracked return deliveryRepair or replacement
Two ways to fix the DL501 DSG S-Tronic Valve Body, fitted to Audi and Porsche models. Repair — send us your original unit, we strip and rebuild it and return the same unit, so it keeps the coding and security data already matched to your car and needs no programming (12-month warranty). Replacement — a brand-new unit with data transfer included; your original still has to be sent in so we can copy its coding and adaptation data across (12-month warranty). Both usually turn round in 2–5 working days.
Not sure the valve body is the cause? The symptoms and the fault codes we see on this unit are listed under Common Faults. If your codes differ, send them over before ordering — if the unit turns out not to be faulty you only pay the test fee and return postage.
Which vehicles does this valve body fit?
This unit is used across Audi and Porsche. Check your exact model and year under Matching Vehicles, or compare the number printed on your own unit with the part numbers listed on this page. The same hardware often appears under several part numbers — call 01884 798090 if yours is not shown.
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose repair or replacement?
Repair is the usual choice: you get your own unit back with its coding intact and a longer warranty. A replacement makes sense when the unit is beyond economical repair — it is brand new, and your original still has to be sent in so we can transfer the data across.
How long will I be without the unit?
We aim to complete all repairs within 2–5 working days. Should a repair take longer, we will contact you with an update. It goes back to you on a tracked service. Ask about on-site fitting if you need the car back the same day.
My part number isn’t in the list — can you still help?
Usually yes. The same hardware appears under many part numbers. Send us a photo of the label or call 01884 798090 and we’ll confirm before you send anything.
What warranty do I get?
Repairs carry a 12-month warranty and replacement units 12 months. See Returns & Warranty for the full terms.
Does it need setting up after fitting?
Yes — basic settings and clutch adaptation have to be carried out with a diagnostic tool once the unit is back in the car. Fresh transmission fluid and a filter are strongly recommended at the same time.
