gnilleg Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Hi There,I have an Lupo Sport engine code AUB with an ETB gearbox.My car has just been into VW for some diagnostics into a oil leak and they have told me that my gearbox is leaking.The selector shaft is damaged and is wearing through the seal. i have had the seal changed but still leaking.The car has only done 22,000 miles!!VW have told me that i need a new gearbox and quoted me over £3000!. so i have tried looking for a second hand gearbox on ebay etc.I cant seem to find an ETB gearbox, just the ETD from the 1.4s.My question is,Will the ETD gearbox fit my Lupo sport?Thanks Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Most 085 boxes have the same physical size, its the ratios inside that differETKA lists the following gearbox codes as having the same part number:FFL, FHX, DXJ, FHZI have seen your car as I priced up the gearbox! LOL!!! Edited March 4, 2014 by lupogtiboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnilleg Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 no way! Haha!Right okay so those gearbox codes will fit my car, but the boxes will have a different ratios.Would these different ratios greatly effect performance?What would you suggest go for? one of those boxes or wait for an ETB box to come up?Thanks,Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Those gearboxes listed should have the same ratios as they are all the same part number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupogtiboy Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I can't check at work as ebay is blocked, but I'll see if they're any good when I get in! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnilleg Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I bought the FHX gearbox off ebay, the car went in on monday to get the box fitted. while they where changing the box they also replaced the rear main seal and the clutch.After installing the new gearbox the car would not turnover by hand. they told me that the box might be faulty or just not fit as it has a different gearbox code. after removing and re-installing the car still wont turn over. On further inspection they have found that the crank will not turnover even with the gearbox,clutch,flywheel,starter and plugs removed! the mechanics have no idea why this is happening and believe that the only possible reason is that the crank has bent!?They are now taking to my crank to be tested that it is all straight and true.How can this happen when the car drove in there fine the day before!!PLEASE HELP!

lupogtiboy Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Sounds like they've damaged something whilst fitting the box to me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
