Gear Box

[Arosa16vology]

My gear box has gone, making some crazy noise whiles driving.

£650 for a brand new one.

Where can i get a second hand one? or has anyone got one?

2001 1.4 16v Sport

are polo's and lupo's same box?

Strange as mine started that too!

it can forget it if it thinks im buying a g/box for an old car!

Drop the box out & take it to a gearbox specialist (one that is recommended by a local garage). The 1.4 16v boxes are notorious for being rubbish. Took the same 1.4 & Lupo Gti box out & had them reconditioned for a fraction of the price of a new one.

My Gearbox code is ETB

would a 1.4 16v Lupo S one fit?

You managed to sort it?

I had a play with mine the other day and SNAP its the same ETB gearbox!

A certain individual tells me they are poor and to just forget it.

I scoured the net and there is NIL for sale. Think I might just mate an old transit gearbox on and see how we go if they are that bad!?

Whats left of one of the bearings.

Was that a new or used one, and where did you source it?

I may need a new box this Winter..

We all seem to be in the new gearbox trend. Now i know why there are nil second hand ones going. Probably still be just as bad tho if I did get a selected second :-(

Holy *!?! &@^!!

How did you manage that? Are you in the habit of going into reverse at 70mph?

(Just Kidding).

I had to have my Arosa 1.4 Tdi gearbox taken apart and fixed about 20,000 miles ago when I started running out of selectable gears. Eventually, I only had 1st, 2nd and 5th to choose from - wouldn't go into any of the others!

That cost me about 700-800 pounds by the way - removal of the gearbox by my local independent one-man garage, who then sent it to a gearbox specialist for repair, and refitting - so your price looks pretty good. I assume it was a scrap gearbox for that price?
