Holdover Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Hello, I've a 2003 A4 B6 Avant with a knackered gearbox (serious crunch when going from 3rd back down into second) My engine is the AWX 130 1.9 TDI, the gearbox is a 5 speed manual, the gearbox code is FEC. A mate of mine has a gearbox from a 2008 A4 B7, however this was on a 2.0 TDI, engine code BRE and the gearbox code is JEM. It's also a 6 speed. I guess it's a long shot that the gearbox would fit but it's so hard to figure out the codes I don't know. Would anyone know for sure? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I don't think it'd fit. But if yours is the 1.9pd which I think it is then I think the 01e 6 speed gearbox might fit. Clutch diameter is 245mm I believe. Or this Is the case with my A6 01e, but it's mated to the 2.5tdi. But 6 speed was fitted to the 1.9pd I'm certain.

Holdover Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 Thanks Steve, the 6 speed would be nice, I hadn't realised how many different gearbox versions there were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 The fact the pd engine was so common it should make you're life easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) I’ve had the 1.9pd 130 in a Skoda Superb mk1, 2005. The 6 speed would not fit that 100%. I *think* the Superb Mk1 was the B5.5 platform, not the B6. The engine in mine was north/south, not transverse. Not sure if that helps you much, but as Steve noted, the PD130 has been in so many cars, there must be a 5 speed box in a breakers yard somewhere.

Holdover Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 You're right guys, they must be common alright. Heard back from a breakers that I'd queried, he has a box for me for €130, happy with that. Just source a front subframe now, might get the rear also. Rust proof them, swap the box, subframes and under seal all at the same time. I guess I'd be married to the car after all that work. 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
