No, unfortunately it's a variant of dl501 (other name 0b5) transmission. These are not "real" pdk like they got on Caymans etc which are made by ZF, these are Borg Warner units. I know because I used some parts for my S4 trans and these crossreferenced to Macan parts. These transmissions look identical except that Macan has an electronically controlled center diff while the S4 has a mechanical center diff.
Now, why this is not a good thing? DL501 is problematic no matter what fanboys tell you.
