A plea to any VW technicians

[andymc]

Hi all.
I have a passat 2006, the 1.6 petrol 6 speed car, to cut a long story short I'm after a 2nd hand box as the refurb costs are quite high, is this gearbox on any other cars in the range as I am struggling to track one down, I think the input shaft bearings are trashed although I'm not a mechanic

all help appreciated

OP - wondering if the 'box from an A3 would fit? My car has same engine as yours (it's an A3) I'd be mega surprised if the gearbox was different - it's even visually extremely similar (from the outside of course) to the one on my old B3 Passat 1.8.

Golfs (inc Golf Plus), Tourans and Skodas use the same 'box I reckon.

Apologies I'm not a VW tech, but I could see if I can find a part number on my (2005) box if you like - lots of parts are interchangeable on these - I have quite a few "VW" parts fitted.

cheers and i will search by part!
