Oh I need this like a hole in the head - A4 TDI 1997 Quattro Gearbox

Hi there,
Just recently blown my AFN gearbox to pieces... went on breakersweb, 247spares etc and got a box for 500, recon. Spent 2 days fitting the new one and got it up and running and now when driving, doing 3000rpm at 60mph. Its doing more revs than MPH

My old box was a DGW number and the new one is CYA. Anyone any ideas on the CYA code? Can someone check on EKTA?

Have I just fitted a petrol box?

Just waiting for mateyboy to ring me back...

CYA is a 2.6 V6 Quattro box so yes, you've just fitted a petrol box.

More importantly you've fitted a box with a different final drive ratio to your rear diff. I'd be getting that back out asap.

James,which cowboy outfit was it that sent that to you then?

Thanks for your help...

Prestige gearboxes in firth. Sunny kent.

I've rung them and asked them if he's ****ing me about, he said no and will ring back to arrange to change the box and fit it for me. I just have to get the car to Kent now.

And I paid £500 cash. Got a reciept, like that will mean much.

Any ideas if this all goes wrong where I stand legally?

Thanks again.

Actually, does this mean I can get a 6 speed box on there then?

I mean if I can get a V6 petrol box on, maybe a V6 derv box will fit?

Thanks

The bellhousing patterns on most Longitudinal Audi boxes are the same. I would be very surprised if there isn't a diesel 6 speed box that will fit, as long as it has the correct final drive!

I did try send you a message earlier about this I had a look thru etka and found the same things out as ben did.

Keep us updated with what happens.

Right, spoke with matey and I have to drop the car off wednesday for them to put the right box in.

At least I dont have to do it.
