It certainly sounds as if your car has had an engine transplant the problem you have now is it if it is not recorded I'm sure that against the law as the ECU needs to be coded to the new engine and the correct mileage updated on the cluster

Not all AUQ 180bhp's had the 6spd, Octavia vRS stayed with the 5spd for some reason.

If you just change the engine there isn't any need to code locks or ECU
