On my 'R' Plate 8v GTi, my box is shagged! Engine code is AGG. I don't have a clue what code the box is, but suspect it is CHE. Does anyone know if i'm correct, and where could i find the code? If i'm looking for a replacement can I use any mk3 GTi box? Would I need to change the clutch?.
Any help muchos appreciado

You need an 020 gearbox fitted to 1.8, 1.9wiesel & 2.0 8v mk3 and some mk2 models (needs a different clutch tho!)
its wise when your changing the box to fit a new clucth as there not the easiest thing to do! (driveshafts bolted on and a weird clutch arrangement!)

codes on the bottom of the box looking up from under the car stamp on a flat section :sad:. you can only fit 8v GTI boxes :embarassed: the 16v is a different box :angry: or you could fit a mk2 GTI box :undecided: but check the spline size( number of teeth on the shaft ) mk 3 is 28 and the m2 is 24 so you might have to change the friction plate if the rest of your clutch is ok :wink: plate size is 210mm :cool: check your drive shaft ends on gear box do not leak before fitting or you in for some fun when you can smell [/color] burning gear box oil splashing on your hot exhaust :nerd: or find a recon gearbox shop and get them to fit it looking at £400 to £500 so you dont get the above problems rember you have to take out and refit new one :angry: on driveway or lock up on your own ! your choice have fun
on my 3 fit in 3 months never check clutch for wear :lipsrsealed: :rolleyes: :embarassed: doin it today or monday

Quick note, the later TDI diesel is a hydro box (like VR6 and valve) so dont go buying one of them :smiley:
