wehey Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 I am going to keep my eye out for a tdi gearbox as mine has a slightly crunchy 3rd gear. Is the tdi gearbox specific to the Lupo/Arosa or will any other VAG group boxes fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 02J gearbox was in the golf among others i think, so not at all specific to Lupo. Check codes for gear ratios etc though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 It depends. Although it is a 02j gearbox the arosa and lupo used a EXB gearbox that has certain ratios. Technically the Audi a2 tdi and other 1.4 tdi's should fit but you would have to look that up. Also they would have different ratios. By how much I'm not sure. A guy fitted a polo blue motion gearbox to his a2 with some work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 It will not, sdi boxes are a real problem to get hold of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 No, think the SDI is an 085 box with long ratios. if yours has a cable clutch it is.DXQ, DED, FFV, ETF, FDQ are diesel box codes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wehey Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I have been researching this a little more and it appears that the Polo MK 3 uses an 02J EXB gearbox too and that the ESP box also shares the same ratios.What do you think guys? Can you see any reason why they wouldn't be compatible?http://workshop-manuals.com/volkswagen/polo-mk3/power_transmission/5-speed_manual_gearbox_02j/technical_data/gearbox_identification/code_letters_gearbox_allocation_ratios_capacities/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
