Hi all, I've just joined and wonder if anybody can help.

I've just bought an 03 Passat tdi sport pd 130 6 speed estate with 80,000 miles.

The car is in nice condition and drives great, the only problem is that the gearbox is noisy in 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th.
All of the gears select first time, no crunching and it doesn't jump out of drive, apart from the noise, you wouldn't know there was anything wrong with it.

I've phoned around and been quoted between £400 & £700 to get it reconditioned.

Alternatively I can get a second hand box for around £450

I've also been offered an Audi A4 6 speed box from a 54 plate 130 bhp model, with under 10k on the clock, the gearbox looks new.

The guy says it will fit, but does anybody know if it will, and if the gear ratios etc are the same?
I know the VW/Audi group share engines etc, so maybe it will fit ?????


Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Ade
