Skodarr Neutral Newbie December 16, 2005 Share December 16, 2005 Sorry to hear that Jenson. Too bad, the 1.8T for Passat is different from yours. I don't think it can be fitted. ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skodarr Neutral Newbie December 17, 2005 Share December 17, 2005 Well, your engine is a 1.8L 20 Valve per cylinder transverse mounted type and the closely that suit will be the Elegance 1.8T. ... You can ask Dennis and I believe he will help you to source around for good reasonable price ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nullifi3d 4th Gear December 17, 2005 Share December 17, 2005 Woah don't mind me asking, but what did you do to the gearbox? Hardcore red-lining? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugh Neutral Newbie December 19, 2005 Share December 19, 2005 The Seat uses a 1.8 tranverse engine, of which the turbo version is used in most VW group cars like the Golf, Bora, Skoda Octavia and Audi A3... think that you should be able to use a box from one of these... As for upgrading the convertor, I believe that you may need to send it overseas for upgrading... see levelten.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortress Clutched December 19, 2005 Share December 19, 2005 (edited) Try looking for parts from the scrap yard. Just curious, how old is the car and what is actually wrong with the gearbox that requires a change. In my view, changing the whole item is a little over the top.

Skodarr Neutral Newbie December 19, 2005 Share December 19, 2005 Well, if I am not wrong, what he meant is servicing the gears in the gearbox, valve body and of cause, torque converter as it's the main culprit cause it transmit the power from the engine to the gearbox in order for the drive shaft to move. However, if it's faulty, it will transfer irregular signal to the gearbox and hence might damage the system. That's why is advisable for Auto Transmission to upgrade the Torque Converter to a much durable system for preventive measures ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
