Passat B5 gearbox help
Discussion
Hi
My dad has a B5 Passat TDi with an automatic gearbox. It recently packed up. Luckily, (We hope) he has been offered another Tdi automatic Passat for spares. Now, I've checked the engine code on my dads car and it is AVG. The Engine code on the donor Passat is AFN.
Can anyone tell me if the gear box between the two will be interchangeable? The gearbox code for both cars appears to be DMX (based on the white sticker in te service book and in the spare tyre well). The gearbox on my dad car has already been removed and has DMX followed by a number engraved on it. However, the numper element is not dislayed on the white sticker in the car. We don't want to have remove the gearbox from the donor car only to find out its not compatible.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
