 Introduction

The Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB)

The modular transverse matrix, or MQB for short, is the new modular strategy introduced by the Volkswagen
Group. Under the direction of the Volkswagen brand, this modular transverse matrix will be launched for the
Volkswagen, Audi, SKODA and SEAT brands. The models Polo, Beetle, Scirocco, Jetta, Tiguan, Touran, Sharan,
Passat, Volkswagen CC and, as the first vehicle model of them all, the Golf 2013 are being assembled using the
MQB as a basis.

Vehicle architecture

components are virtually identical.

Standardisation across all brands

Some of the advantages provided by standardisation across all brands include:

VW production will become faster, simpler, more cost-effective and more flexible through standardisation
across the brands. It will simplify development, creating synergies right across all brands and vehicle series.
The modular matrix strategy will allow the number of versions, and their complexity, to be reduced significantly.
Standardised production processes are made possible by employing uniform joining sequences in body
construction, a uniform assembly sequence and uniform installation concepts.
It is now possible to produce models based on the MQB architecture, even when they are made by different
brands, together on one and the same production line.

 Introduction

The production sites

The Golf 2013 will be produced in the Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg, as well as in the Volkswagen factory in
Zwickau.

The Wolfsburg production site

The Golf innovations
The main contribution made by all vehicle subassemblies is the weight saved, this being up to 100 kg compared to
the previous models. This also saves a significant amount of fuel for all engine and gearbox combinations, at the
same time as reducing the CO2 emissions by the same proportion.
This focus on innovations allowed numerous new technologies to be implemented in this vehicle class,
such as:

A new series of engines Electromechanical parking brake with AutoHold

Modular Infotainment System (MIB) Panorama sliding/tilting sunroof
Active Cylinder Management (ACT) Xenon headlight versions
ergoActive seat design Proactive occupant protection
Multicollision brake Driving mode selection

s513_015

For the first time, many new systems and numerous driver assist systems are being utilised in the Golf 2013, all of
which were otherwise only available for higher-level vehicle classes, such as:

Traffic sign recognition (TSR) Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Driver Alert System FrontAssist with City Emergency Brake and
Dynamic Light Assist (DLA) distance warning
Main beam assist (FLA) Optical parking system (OPS)

 Body

Body structure
The key focus during development of the body structure was combining high crash safety with a low body weight.
This is why a high proportion of ultra-high tensile (thermoformed) sheet metal parts have been used for the Golf
2013. Furthermore, innovative production technologies, such as the tailored rolled blank technique, and new
joining technologies, such as the wobble seams in the side area, have been used. This has allowed the stability of
the passenger compartment to be increased.

Wobble seams
For the first time, wobble seams (the name refers to
their shape) have been used in the Golf 2013. This
joining technology produces a longer laser weld join
over the same area. It can be subjected to a load 3 to
4 times greater than individual spot welds.

 Tailor rolled blank technology
The B-pillar has been, produced by employing tailor
rolled blank technology. This involves only shaping
those areas of a component where the loads exerted
require a larger wall thickness. A so-called tailor
rolled blank plate is produced. Tailored blank
(meaning custom-made blank).

 Occupant safety

Safety equipment
The Golf 2013 features the following safety equipment:

Single-stage driver airbag

Single-stage, disengagable front passenger's
airbag
Side airbags at front
Side airbags at rear as an option
Head-protection airbags
Knee airbag on driver's side
Three-point automatic seat belt with tensioner at
front
Three-point automatic seat belt at rear
Reversible belt tensioner at front as an option
Belt force limiter at front
Top tether

Seat belt reminder

As an option, the 4-door Golf can be equipped with
side airbags at the rear in combination with a seat
belt reminder. The seat belt reminder informs the
driver of whether the passengers in the rear
compartment have fastened their seatbelts, indicating
this in the multifunction display in the dash panel
insert.

Crash sensors
The following crash sensors are installed:
Crash sensor for front airbag
Crash sensors in the doors for side crash detection
(pressure sensors)
Crash sensors in the C-pillars for side crash
detection (acceleration sensors)

12
 Proactive
occupant protection system
For the very first time in this vehicle class, the Golf
features the option of being equipped with the
proactive occupant protection system.

This system takes action if one of the following criteria

is met:
Emergency braking (very fast brake pedal
actuation)
Hazard braking (fast increase in the brake pedal
pressure when braking)
Unstable vehicle conditions, such as e.g. excessive
vehicle under or oversteering

If a potential accident situation is identified, then the

occupants and vehicle are prepared for a possible
accident. Tensioning of the seat belts by means of
electric motors keeps the driver and front passenger
securely in their seats, allowing the airbag and the
seat belt system to provide the highest possible level
of protection.

In the event of excessive vehicle under or

oversteering, the panoramic sliding roof and the side
s513_029 windows are also closed until only a residual gap
remains.

Once the driver has regained control of the vehicle

and it has been returned to a stable dynamic
handling condition, the seat belts are relaxed again.

With the launch of the modular transverse matrix, the installation position of the dual clutch gearbox
has been changed, along with the communication between the mechatronic unit and the data bus
system. This has lead to a change in the designations used for the dual clutch gearboxes. The dual
clutch gearbox 0AM has become the 0CW, and the 02E has become the 0D9.

The misfuelling prevention device for vehicles with a diesel

engine
On vehicles with a diesel engine, there is an insert
with a mechanically locking flap on the filler neck for
the fuel tank. The flap prevents the incorrect fuel Filler neck
nozzle from being inserted, allowing the diesel vehicle
to be protected from being filled with the wrong type
of fuel.

Tabs Diesel fuel nozzle
If a diesel fuel nozzle is inserted into the filler neck of
the fuel tank, the fuel nozzle pushes all the tabs in the
misfuelling prevention device to the side. The plastic
ring is splayed and the locking lugs are forced apart.
The force of the fuel nozzle during insertion opens the
flap. The diesel fuel nozzle can now be fully inserted
into the filler neck and the vehicle can be refilled with
diesel fuel.

When the diesel fuel nozzle is pulled out of the

misfuelling prevention device, the flap is closed by the
force of the springs, with the force of the annular

The plastic ring is not splayed and the locking lugs
cannot release the flap. The prevents the insertion of
the incorrect fuel nozzle.

the flap
If the fuel tank needs to be filled using a reserve
canister and filler neck, the flap does not open. In this
case, it is only possible to fill the tank using the gap
left between the tabs and flap. The diesel fuel should
then be filled in very small amounts and very slowly.

Four-wheel drive clutch
With the Golf 2013, the 5th generation of four-wheel drive clutch is being launched. The control logic for the
various driving situations has been adopted from the 4th generation four-wheel drive clutch. The pressure control
in the 5th generation is now generated by a piston pump with an integrated centrifugal governor (Haldex coupling
pump for 4WD V181).
The regulated pressure acts on the working piston and compresses the clutch pack within the clutch cage, allowing
the required torque to be transferred to the rear axle.

Climate profiles

The climate profile is set using the operating and

display unit for the Infotainment system. The following
three climate profiles are available for selection:
Gentle
Average
Intensive
Climate profile: intensive

A characteristic map has been stored for each

individual climate profile in the Climatronic control
unit. Depending on the climate profile selected, the s513_022
airflow is regulated using the fresh air blower speed.

The time needed to respond to disturbances varies

between the climate profiles. For example, the climate
profile intensive gives the information an even
stronger weighting when processing it. Furthermore,
this profile also factors in the signals from the sunlight
sensor.

Pressure sender for refrigerant circuit G805

Installation location

The pressure sender for the refrigerant circuit G805

replaces the high-pressure sender G65.
It is screwed into place in the high-pressure line
between the condenser and the expansion valve.
The pressure sender for the refrigerant circuit G805 is
connected directly to the air conditioning system
control unit via the LIN bus.

Signal utilisation

The actual refrigerant pressure in the refrigerant

circuit, and therefore the required engine load, is
s513_110 calculated using the signals.

Signal curve

The display of the signal curve during diagnosis

differs considerably from the signal curve of the PWM
signal issued by the sender previously used, G65.

Humidity sender for air conditioning system G260

Installation location

The humidity sender for the air conditioning system

G260 is only installed with the Climatronic unit. It is
installed in the base of the interior mirror together
with the rain/light sensor.

Design and functional principle

The humidity and the temperature at the windscreen

are measured using a capacitive thin-layer sensor.
The sender functions in a similar manner to a plate
capacitor; measurement of the capacity reveals the
degree of humidity.

s513_010
Signal utilisation

The sender determines:

- The inside windscreen temperature
- The inside relative humidity
The signals are transmitted to the onboard supply
control unit and are forwarded to the Climatronic
control unit via the convenience CAN bus. This uses
the signals to calculate the inside dew point and the
inside dew point distance.
s513_012

To reduce the fogging of the windscreen, the

Climatronic ensures that conditions in the passenger
compartment are optimal and initiates the following Effects of failure

- Compressor on/off Without the sensor's signal, the control unit is no

Climate control components
Heater and air conditioning units
Three different versions have been used in the Golf 2013:

The 1-zone heater and air conditioning unit for the heating and ventilation system
The 1-zone heater and air conditioning unit for the manual electric air conditioning system
The 2-zone heater and air conditioning unit for the 2-zone Climatronic

The horizontal installation position of the dust and pollen filter in the heater and air conditioning units is a new
feature.
The dust and pollen filter is replaced through the glove compartment, which involves placing the glove
compartment cover in a service position.

Manufacturer versions

Heater and air conditioning units made by the Denso

company and by the Valeo company are installed in
the Golf. When installed, the heater and air
conditioning unit which a vehicle has can only be
identified by the heater pipe connections on the heat
exchanger for heater. Because the control motors for
actuating the individual air flaps are different for
Denso and Valeo, these must be ordered according
to manufacturer.

 Heating and air conditioning

Internal heat exchanger

A new feature in the Golf is the so-called Internal
heat exchanger (IWT), which was used for the first
time in the Volkswagen Touareg. This is a refrigerant
line that forms a pipe-in-pipe system. This
refrigerant line features a low-pressure line which is
guided through a separate space in the high-pressure
line. The refrigerant flows through the outer line to the
expansion valve (high pressure), and flows back from
the expansion valve through the inner line towards
the air conditioner compressor (low pressure).
This design increases the efficiency of the system and s513_008
contributes to reducing the fuel consumption.

High pressure

Low pressure

s513_062

The airflow limiter

On vehicles with a heater and air conditioning
system, the same fresh air blower V2 and control unit
J126 is installed as in vehicles with an air conditioning
system. However, in this case there is no evaporator
to reduce the air flow.
An air flow limiter has therefore been installed in the
heater unit in these vehicles. This guarantees that the
heater and blower power operates optimally.

s513_033
Air flow limiter

38
Thermo Top Evo auxiliary coolant heating
The auxiliary coolant heating Thermo Top Evo is available as an optional extra for the new Golf. It is installed at
the front right, behind the bumper, as in the Golf 2009. The Thermo Top Evo is offered both as a petrol and
diesel version. The auxiliary heater is used as a fuel-operated auxiliary heater for petrol and diesel engines.
It is activated via the air conditioning system control unit.

Design

The heater unit is largely identical to the Thermo Top Fleece, which has been installed in the passenger vehicle
models with diesel engines since October 2010.

The only differences to the Thermo Top Fleece are found in the activation and the functions which have been
integrated into the auxiliary heater control unit J364. This means the programming for the timer is now stored in
the vehicle, for example, with the heating now switching On or Off.
The auxiliary heater and auxiliary ventilation functions, as well as supplementary heater operation, are still
available. The T91R is used as a remote control.

The verification field is used for documenting any vehicle damage needing examination within the scope of the
inspection.
Discontinuation of the detailed list of all service scopes
There may be technical changes during the period over which the printed service plan applies. This prevents
any information in the service schedule from contradicting the content found in ELSA.
This allows a service schedule to be used worldwide.

Service list
The order of the service items is no longer structured according to subassemblies, but rather based on events.
