Tips when searching for used by Passat v6

[Hem020]

Dq200 is in the 1.8l petrol Passat.
Diesel and vr6 are dq250.
Dq200 has 7 speeds, dq250 has 6.

Hey, are the gearboxes interchangable? If i have a 7 speed dq200 can I fit the 6 speed box and are the wiring the same?

No the plug is different and dq250 also has a Kline to the ecu.
It would be probably possible with custom TCU and ecu software, like what's done with dq500 swaps.
Fitment I'm not too sure on but again probably would need to check if you needed to swap subframe, starter motor, driveshafts etc

Another reason that you can’t use the DQ200 7 speed DSG is that it is only rated for engines with up to 250Nm, whereas the DQ250 6 speed DSG is rated for high torque diesel and V6 engines above 250Nm. The 3.6 VR6 engine in the R36 has 350Nm.

I think he's talking about a dq250 upgrade from dq200.
I've not heard of them, normally it's an upgrade from dq250 to dq500 to handle power upgrades.

Correct, was hoping to change gearbox to the DSG 6 speed from the R36 for my mum’s golf where the box has just died.
