B6 Passat 09g to manual swap

[nick101010]

I just wrecked the front end of my 2006 2.0t fsi FWD Passat and it looks like I can rebuild it.

Always wanted to do a manual and now I have a donor car to rebuild my car with, and the donor car just happens to be a manual, so it seems to me that stars are aligning,

I plan on starting this weekend…

Does anyone have ANY info on this? Is it possible? Will I need to do ECU/TCM or other computer work?

Will any holes need to be cut or is structurallly everything ready to swap over?

Will I need any parts my donor car doesent have? Is it as simple as moving it all over? The donor is a 2010 manual 2.0t anyone know what the name/code of the tranny is in a 2010 manual?

Thank you! ALL help is v much appreciated as I wanna tackle this right away and anywhere you can point me as well!

Yes you can do it but it will be a huge job. As for the ECU, I would stick with the original and change the coding to manual.

So what makes you say it would be a huge job? If I have all the parts on my donor shouldn’t it be as easy as taking them all off and moving them over?

I’ve removed my 09G tranny 4-5 times before, so i am familiar with that, and I figure mounting and dismounting it is the hardest part, since it should all bolt up? And I know someone who can help me code the manual transmission into the car with VCDS which I am pretty good with already, so I feel like I should be good the .


We’re you thinking there would be even more than that that is alarming?

Like I think with two people I can do it this weekend it sounds like…
