Tallika_Fan Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I had to get a new box last january, opted for a 1.4 75bhp one after quite a bit of searching for a sport on.Anyway, am chuffed i got the lesser one now as the ratios are much longer, no screaming at motorway speeds.cost £300 i think from a vag breaker near blackburn.

dub-love Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I used a rebuilt Polo GTI one on mine.Really, i thought the only car the lupo/polo gti box would fit is a polo/lupo gti??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallika_Fan Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I think the majority of the boxes are 085 coded ones, which go right through the range of polos from the cl, fox to the gt, not sure if the g40 is the same box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I think the G40 one is a 085 box as well.The Polo GTI box seems a good match to the Sport one. It still has the low end poke that a Sport should have but its a bit more civilized on the motorway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
