Gearbox

Hi all.

my gearbox on my 2003 lupo 1.6 16v is knackered. The garage next to my work had a look as told me this, he suggested I buy a second hand gearbox and roger install it myself or have it installed.

looking around on eBay using my engine code ‘BBY’ some have come up as a 5 speed manual gear box but it’s for a 1.4 polo. 

 

My question is can you use polo gearboxes in a lupo? Are they the same set up? 

Thanks

no, the lupo is box specific.

consider what you will pay for a box and having it removed and installed.

relocate the funds, get yours reconditioned and do the labour yourself.

new clutch as well and you're good to go, much safer option.

Do you know if the engine code has to be the same as well? As I’ve found pleanty out there for a 1.4 lupo 16v but it has a different code?

If your engine code is BBY its not a 1.6 16v for a start, that's a 1.4 16v that uses a 085-type gearbox

Plus, if yours is a gti, then it should be a 6-speed if its 2003 which is an 02U gearbox, the earlier gti with a 5-speed is an 02T
