Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    It should be a CHE code. Virtually any gearbox out of a Mk3 Golf or Vento (except VR6) will work. I have one in my garage.

        Almost anything is possible but why you would want to put an 020 rod change gearbox into a car that has an O2A cable change gearbox is a little beyond me.

          I thought the cupra like gears like stick in bucket whereas the gti 95' feels better.

            So true, the gears in Cupra are not the best, used to own a 95 Seat Gti and you are right the gears feel much better.

              Can you be more specific. What do you mean by breaking down? I know more about Cupras than the 8V GTi version however as far as I know the gear linkages should all be the same as a Mk 3 Golf and kits are easily available. Linkage kits are easy to find. Look in the Mk 3 Section I am sure that I remember reading threads about what to replace. I have replaced most of the linkages on our Vento and also when we had Mk 2 GTi's and it is not difficult.

                  Could you find out and advise us what the part number is of the bit that was replaced? Mine might need replacing as well.
