About this part
The 5730084100 pressure sensor set is the direct replacement for the hydraulic pressure sensor and clutch position sensor used in the DQ380 and DQ381 seven-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox (VAG family 0DE). It is a genuine OEM-quality part, brand new and supplied as the matched pair shown in the photo, for workshops and owners who need the gearbox to measure what it shifts.
pressure sensor — Genuine OEM hydraulic pressure sensor and clutch position sensor pair for the DQ380 / DQ381 (0DE) seven-speed wet DSG mechatronic unit.
OE/OEM Part Number:

Gearbox family: 0DE, 0BH, 0DL, 0DW, 0GC (DQ380 / DQ381 / DQ500)
What this sensor does, and why it fails
Two sensors, one job. The 0DE dual-clutch gearbox controls both clutches with hydraulic pressure, and it can only shift as well as it can measure. The pressure sensor sits on the mechatronic hydraulic module and reports clutch and system pressure in real time; the clutch position sensor reports clutch travel. The TCU cross-checks the two on every shift. When one of them drifts, the gearbox reacts with the symptoms owners know too well: judder from a standstill, delayed or harsh 1-2 and 2-3 shifts, false neutrals, and eventually limp mode with a warning on the dash.
How they fail. The pressure element lives in a hot, oily environment and cycles with every shift. Over the years the sensing diaphragm fatigues and the output drifts; contamination in the hydraulic circuit accelerates it. Position sensors suffer from heat cycling and connector corrosion. A drifting sensor does not always set a hard fault code at first — the TCU adapts around the wrong readings until adaptation limits are reached, which is why the car feels worse cold and after long drives before it finally throws a code.
Brand new, matched pair. Both parts are supplied exactly as shown: new production, not reclaimed, with the laser marking intact. The part replaces the failing unit with genuine OEM-level quality.
Symptoms and diagnosis
• Typical symptoms — shudder or judder on takeoff, flare or bang on upshifts, harsh downshifts, hesitation when pulling away, gearbox warning light, limp mode that clears after a restart.
• Fault memory — scan the transmission control module (address 02) with ODIS, VCDS or a comparable tool. Hydraulic pressure plausibility and clutch position faults in the P17xx range point straight at these sensors.
• Confirm before ordering — watch the measured clutch pressure and clutch position live data at idle and during a slow pull-away. A sensor that reads steady but offset, or jumps under load, has to go. Check the wiring and connector for oil ingress or corroded pins first — a wet connector mimics a dead sensor.
• Installation notes — the sensors are serviced with the mechatronic unit accessible; work on a drained, cool gearbox, keep the work area clean (the hydraulic circuit hates debris), fit the new parts without touching the sensing faces, and refill with the correct DSG fluid to level. After the repair, clear the TCU adaptation values and run the clutch adaptation / basic settings routine so the gearbox relearns its new zero points. Do not skip this step — a new sensor on old adaptations can shift worse than the worn part did.
Fitment
The DQ380 and DQ381 are the seven-speed wet dual-clutch gearboxes behind the VW Group 2.0 TSI and similar engines; the factory designation for the family is 0DE. The table lists the typical applications — always confirm against the gearbox code on the transmission label or your VIN before ordering, and send us a photo of your old sensor if you are unsure.

Shipping and packing
Orders leave within one to two working days of cleared payment, packed in anti-static bags with foam protection for the sensing faces. Tracking is emailed when the parcel is handed to the carrier. Customs charges, where they apply, are the buyer’s responsibility.
Condition & warranty
Brand new, twelve months warranty against manufacturing defects. The warranty covers the sensors as supplied; it does not cover damage from incorrect installation, wrong fluid, or gearbox damage that existed before the sensor was replaced. If a part is faulty on arrival, send us the fault scan from your diagnostic tool before returning anything.
