Buying an '04 NB Convertible for my daughter. It is a GLS with 6-speed tiptronic. Does anyone know what the "model" designation is? Something like 09A, 09G, 01M, etc.
Trying to figure out what models and year range this transmission was available since I need to replace it. Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Thanks for the link. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

From my research the transmission is short lived and will need to be replaced often.
Those automatics just die, no warning. |

Yes manual swaps are straight forward. I just got everything to do my 01 tdi golf. Funny cuz I can see a lot of boxster parts in the vw.

Thought the Valve Body may need to be replaced (very common) but that was done under warranty and, more recently, a local shop replaced it but the issue did not change so they swapped the original back in. I had the car delivered and had a chance to troubleshoot a bit more. It is in limp mode. I am going to get a VAG-COM to see what codes are being thrown. Figure it is a good investment with 4 VWs in the family (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
