The vans and Polo saloons have the 020 gearbox.

The Polo hatch has the POS 085 gearbox.

I was not delighted to find this in a scrapyard which only had Polo saloons and Caddy vans in it a while back.  :angry:

Plus the ratios out of a petrol 085 gearbox are TOTALLY inappropriate for an SDI.  :grin:

The casting also needs bits hacked off it to fit and (obviously) the bellhousing is different.

Oh and doing anything on a 1.9D motor in a Polo engine bay is a tw*t.
