Hi all,
I need a replacement gearbox for my A6-C5. The existing one is a 6 speed, mated to an AVF 1.9 TDI engine. Ideally, I should get one from the same setup, but failing that, what other VAG gearboxes would fit and work correctly? Would a gearbox from a newer VAG vehicle ( Passat,Audi etc.) work? Also, where exactly is the gearbox type / Nr. code located? The existing box is working ( driving ) perfectly, but has developed a whine, so bearing(s) starting to go......is there a specific bearing(s) which is noted for going at the 150'000 miles mark? Main shaft? The noise level changes when changing up or down.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Jim.
