What about an FDH gearbox? been offered one from a 1.6 auto golf mk4....

Any ideas?

[Crasher]

The FDH was used in the A3 with the 1.6 engine from 2000 to 2003 but as it uses a different valve body I suspect it may not function correctly.

[Bandoliero]

also came across a DTB? are there any other applications for my DSU or DLU?

Been searching hard!

[Crasher]

I am only sure about the DLU being a possible alternative. The DTB was used on the 98 1.6 with the AEH engine but I am not sure it would work. I don’t have the rest of the day to work out possible alternatives; I can only tell you what VW say are the two correct boxes, DSU and DLU.

I have now found the correct info onthese AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS

audi a3 transmission code ECT

vw golf transmission code DTB

1.60 automatic transmission with these gearboxes are interchangeable as i have just fitted the dtb box to my audi a3

only difference maybe the drive shaft ends which are easy changed, mine was a simple fit

I have a similair problem with my A3 2.0TDI Auto. I think the speed sensor in the gearbox is not working. It will change up gear in auto. But if is in manual mode, is fine.

I am not sure is that the gearbox sensor or wheel sensor? Please help.

Just as an Update, I was GLAD enough to see the Back of BOTH motors, FORGET about gearboxs when it comes to golfs & audis!

IF you have a VAG car & its got a Gearbox problem, YOU GOT A PROBLEM!

Dont say I never tell you so!


I Dont mind a VAG car, BUT this time its gotta be a TDI!
