I need a new gearbox! HELP!!!
« on: 28 October 2011, 21:47 »
 Hi all,

As heading states, I need a new gearbox for my mk4. Its a 2000 AGU 1.8T.

What are my options? and wheres the best place to source one?

I have been told I should stick with a ENJ code box by the VAG guy i use and who will be doing the work, but a guy at my work who is a qualified VAG mechanic says any o2J box will fit.

 opinions please[8-)]

Also wheres my best bet to get a good box from???

cheers in advance[:D]
