Babycham Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hi guys,I have a 1.4 Tdi Lupo and think i will need to replace my gear box in the not so distant future. I am finding it hard to find any second hand gear boxes, and have looked at getting mine re-conditioned which will cost up to £700 :/ so im thinking are there any other options? Has anyone replaced theirs with a gear box from a polo ect or an arosa? Is this possible?Also (stupid question) do i have to get a diesel gear box or can i use one from a petrol? Any help would be great!Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I know a certain deviant who will do you a good deal on a gearbox for a chebs shot.Joe A will confirm that this is a regular way of conducting business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skezza Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Rich, does that mean you value a cheb shot at roughly £20? What about my man-chebs, are they worth £20 too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought my chebs were as good as any!!! I'm starting to feel self-conscious.£202.25 is pretty reasonable to be fair. Seen recon's going on eBay for about £500. Ouch.

jadelauren Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 A long shot but do you still have this gear box kicking about for sale at all or have any advise on where I could obtain a nice example as mine is dying a slow death? xNo. To others it is £202.25 There are no other TDI gearboxes for sale, I have the market.Soon I shall advertise it properly.
