Verified gearbox codes

The codes below are taken from the manufacturer’s own parts catalogue, model by model. The same gearbox was built under several codes and the right one depends on the car’s VIN, so we always list them together with the car and the model year.

Its torque capacity means it also sits behind the strongest V6 TDI versions, but regular oil changes are decisive for its life.

Typical failures

These are the reasons this gearbox usually gets replaced — check your own symptoms before ordering:

mechatronic valve body failure — the gearbox drops into limp mode
dual-clutch wear: shuddering and juddering when pulling away
skipped oil services — the fluid needs changing about every 60,000 km

Matching engines from our stock

This gearbox is used with the following engine codes, which we also supply:

CAG · CAH · CCW · DET · CDH · BPJ · CJC

Where to find your gearbox code

The gearbox code is the decisive detail: the same gearbox model was built under several codes, and they differ in ratios and software. There are three places to find it: the type plate on the gearbox casing, the equipment sticker on the first pages of the service book, or ask us — we check it against the VIN. Send the code or the VIN with your enquiry and we will supply the right unit.
