Well worth the effort for maximum reward
Gearbox code is mentioned in the video but they do have another code, the one mentioned is the 02S
The bigger stronger box I mentioned are 02M and 02Q to use these gearbox’s you need to change everything

You and Andy are like elite f1 team mechanics,Ah Ye! 🤙🏻
This one did go smoothly and Andy is happy with his new gearbox 👍
Thank you mate🏎️😊
It's no good asking if anyone out here knows more than you DT, we all marvel at how much you know. Well done on the tidy up. I don't have a tool trolley (just a random diy'er), but I did use a workmate with a large wooden top on it when I did Jag X-Type V6 Spark Plugs (Fanimold off) and having all the tools to hand (and not on the floor) does make a difference. Ah Ye
Hey Karter thank you 🙏 I do know abit but there are some other guys out there that know more details and the small info. Ah man manifold off to do some plugs that’s full on I bet no one else had been there before you. Yes mate having tools up at normal hight rather than bending down is so much nicer. I’ve only had my service trolley for maybe 10 years 🙈🤣
This video give me the motivation to do the 6 speed conversion on my caddy, my gaffa wouldn’t let me use the ramp in work, so done it on my drive in the pissing rain, bloody 3.5 hours not a nice job to do on my own, loving the zero budget restoration… Andy must owe you a few favours now 😂👍
Hey shaun that’s awesome bud 👍 your gaffa sounds abit tight if you worked for me I’d let you use the ramp without question. Well done for sticking at it in the rain bud. Andy helps out a lot so I do return the favours 👍
@ my gaffa is a tight git, forgets who comes into work at 5am to get jobs finished, and who works most of my days off, took me back to the days of mobile mechanics….. keep the content coming… soon as mines been painted me and the wife will be coming down to blue water, ah ye
@ hey shaun your boss don’t sound like my kind of guy, last Wednesday of every month mate I’ll be there 👍
Big greetings from Serbia! I follow your content with great pleasure. It's clear that you are a good person.
Hey bud good to have you on the channel I appreciate your kind words, big shout out to you and Serbia 🇷🇸 👍👍
Back in the caddy game, just swapped me old Astra cdti for a 19 plate trend line 2.0l today😊, and I do miss the 6th gear. Loving you're videos, been watching as many as I can the last week ❤👊😎
Very Nice van to get back in the scene I do love a mk4, thanks mate appreciate the kind words 👌👍
Bloody hell Nath, that was quick n easy🤟 Garage/Workshop looking .... freshhhh! too👏
Hey David it was a quick swap even I was surprised, I know these pretty well but I was expecting to change more parts. Thanks mate I do like a tidy workshop bud it’s hard to keep it that way while being so busy 👍
Everyone needs a BIG ANDY😱🤪he makes you look so TINY😂good job as always👍💪showing every step of the way👍OH YEAH 🤪👍💪💪💪
Hey Paul haha he is a wee bit bigger than me 😂, I’m good for getting in little gaps. Thanks for the comment bud 👍
Thank you mate 🤣
@ well deserved 👍
Ah ye! Friday night is DTE-TV nite! Can’t get better than a quick fit fitter would be proud of that quick swap mate! Nice one
Hey Jim thanks bud 👌 no editing errors on this channel I hope 🙈
@@YTDTETVah ye that ones faultless mate 😂
@ thanks mate 👍 I just checked the other video again and TH-cam are still doing there thing to cut it out. I actually get a little embarrassed when I make editing mistakes. The last double edit was a couple years ago on a white seat Leon Cupra video. I could work out how to cut the bit out so I just deleted it.
Merch looks great.also,there is a downside to this video 🫣 when we get an invoice for a garage doing discs and pads but charging 3 hours because 1 of the bolts was seized,and we say 'hang on brother John,i know a geezer who can swap out a caddy gearbox in 1.45 hours so how can it take you 3 hours to do brakes!!' 😂😂😂
Thank you I really like them hopefully people like them to, haha I know imagine telling a garage ye a guy on TH-cam said you can do that in 20 minutes 😂😂 wouldn’t go down to well.
3 hours labour, would be giving the full brother John cousin keith and sister sally 😂
Hi Nathan quality video top job nice quick video on Andy’s caddy 👍🏻 AHYE
Thanks Paul always appreciate the comment bud 👍
Takk!
Thanks you Francis 🙏👍
Auxito CSP led bulbs work an absolute treat in that headlights sorts the beam pattern out and everything
Hey bud Andy has asked about led bulbs actually and I use a similar bulb in mine so will bear that in mind 👍
Thank you mate, I'll have a look at them 😊
He's over the moon with his gearbox. Brilliant
Hey bud he really is, he’s so great full for what we do to his van and that keeps me wanting to make it better for him 👍
Brilliant content. Keep up the good work. Red caddy is 🔥 too.
Yes I am thank you mate 😊
Great video Nathan. Cracking job and so speedily done. No wonder Andy was pleased as punch with his six speed box. You and Andy are great team. Hope you both have a top weekend.
Hey Karl thanks mate this one did go smoothly and in good time, Andy is super pleased with his extra gear 👍 you have a great weekend to bud
Thank you mate, I really appreciate you saying that 😊
Oh yer workshop looks mint mate 👍🏻👍🏻. You made the gearbox swap look so easy. Great work again as ever 💪🏻
Thanks John appreciate that mate 👍👍
Absolutely brilliant you’re the Bollocks👍
Thanks Dean really appreciate that mate 🙏👍
Imagine selling that van with the original 5 speed gear knob and the new owner not knowing it has six gears and one day figure it out. That smile would be good to see.
Haha that would be a bonus for sure, I wonder how long it would take to work out there’s another gear 😂
workshops looking clean😀, Also wondering if its possible you would make a 'buyers guide' video for the caddys, looking to get one in the near future but not sure which engine etc to go for
Hey Bondy thanks bud, that is actually a really good idea for a video 👍 easy to make and should do well, give me a few days and I’ll hit something together. Thanks again
@@YTDTETV You're welcome, Thought i would ask because i had seen you did a buyers guide to transporters but had no luck trying to find a caddy one on your channel, do look forward to seeing it now though 👍👌
Impressed with the time taken, just taken out my gearbox on my cr140 took 4 hours!
Hey David thank you I work with these every day, I’m sure if you done a few more you could shave some time off that, well in bud 👍
Nice to have you back!
Thanks Martin, soon as the weather warms up so will my enthusiasm so will do more videos 👍👍
Always look forward to the video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
I always appreciate your comments Ragnar mate 👍👍
Blimey, that was quick Nathan. I thought that I was watching the AutoDoc mechanic....😂
Ah ye BrotherJon 🤩 Nice swap out 5 speed to a 6 speed from cool guy Nathan 😎
Ah ye thanks mate always appreciate your comments and support 🙏👍
Just ordered a hoddie thay look grate. Loving all the videos keeps up the good work !.. one day will get my caddy to blue warter. Few more small jobs to do yet .. ps your videos make me spend money on my van 😂
Hey Adam thank you for the purchase mate really appreciate that 🙏 always welcome to the meets mate I’m always there. I normally spend money on my van after the caddy meets 🤣
@YTDTETV haha I have done to my mk4 caddy in the last few weeks hybrid bumpers . Arch kit recently and booked in for exhaust tips to Finish of the back end ! and thinking of side skirts next 🤣... oh and add on the dte tv sticker off course !!
@@adamlittle4267 it’s a big when you start seeing other people’s van and they look soooo nice when you go the extra mile with hybrid bumpers etc so you will have a proper nice van when done 👍👍
@YTDTETV Thanks all ready done loads of bits. I had the van from brand new 4 years.. so changed a lot, lol . Would drop a pic for you, but I can not on hear 😁
@ can email it to me if you want bud, I would like to see it ytdtetv@gmail.com 👍
Ah Ye! Top job as always brother John.
Hey he is old squeaky clean.. next washing video I do cousin Keith you’ll be at the top of my banter list 🤣🙏. Look forward to seeing you at the next meet mate 👌
@ I do feel a little left out recently 😂 Look forward to the next shout out 👋 See you soon mate.
@ that’s cos your driving a standard van and DTE don’t do standard. Get some rims on and a hacksaw on your coil springs and it will be approved. Darren’s popping down for the day next Saturday. Can always tag along with him and come say hello 👍
@ I’ll be in touch Nathan. Change of plans in life so things may be happening 😉 I’ll see what I’m doing Saturday and let you know.
Top Vid as always...Keep 'em coming! Oh ye!
Thanks mate appreciate that and plenty more to follow 🙏👍
@ T5 full build??? You know it makes sense! 😎
Another great job well done buddy
Thanks Andrew mate 👍
Another great video Nathan mate, I love Andy, is he a part time doorman as he proper looks the part 😁
Hey Alan thanks bud 👍 yep he definitely makes a better door than a window 👌
Thank you mate you're very kind and no not a doorman 🤣
Love the content keep it up
Same on the Vivaro’s mate on the older 1.9. Swap 5 speed for a 6 nothing needed apart from the box. Straight fit. Away you go. Happy days
Hey bud gota love it when the upgrades are that easy 👍
Ah ye! Them hoodies look that good I’ve just got the missis to order one 👍
Hey Dean thanks bud appreciate the purchase mate I really do, I’m super happy with them I’m hope you like them to 🙏👍
TOP MAN
Thanks mate 🙏👍
Enjoyed that Thanks
Awesome thanks bill 👍
If only a 6 speed swap on a t5 was this easy
Hi Nathan , Thank you for another great video , I am determined to finally do the same to my bls caddy ...hoping a 6 speed from a 2006 Touran will be the same ?? Thanks again for the knowledge & encouragement 💪👏
Brother John 👊💯
Thanks Michael cousin Keith 👌👍
You could have a storage for parts you want to throw away with other people toghether. So you can share parts easy
Hey fletcher that is a good idea, as I throw a lot of parts out but I’m sure someone could definitely re use them 👍
New year, New gear!
Ah ye 👌👍
"twist and bend it heavily... like a Mcdonalds straw" 🤣
Haha I chuckled inside a little when I said it but held it in, Andy isn’t the most flexible so when he bends down I tell him he bends like a McDonald’s straw, not very well 😂👍
Happy days 👌
Thanks bud 👍
ah yea another spot on video so for mine face lift i need one from mark 7 golf will be getting one if i ever get my caddy back as its been in garage for over a week to fix the underboost problem and then a remap wen i get it back..
Hey bud so you have either a 1.6 or 2.0l? If so yes a mk6-7 golf 6 speed gearbox will fit, hopefully you get your van back soon 👍
@@YTDTETV yea 1.6 tdi bud but wen I remap it looking to put 6speed init
Having your tools organised like that makes life so much easier I usually spend more time looking for tools that actually working 😂 just done the exact same swap but I put a brand new clutch and flywheel in but the clutch is slipping under load any ideas mate?
Are the first 5 gears in the 6 speed the same ratio as the ones in the 5 speed?
Basically, is the 6 speed just an extra gear for high way driving or is the acceleration curve different at llower speeds?
Asking for a 2017 Mk4
I had a 6-speed Tauran and a 5-speed Caddy, I think the 5th and 6th gears are the same 2krpm when driving at 90 kmh, but with a 6-speed gearbox it was easier to start on a hill with 1st gear, I'm thinking of putting a 6-speed gearbox from a mk4 Golf, it has 1600 rpm when driving at 90 kmh
5 and 6 speeds have a similar top speed to rpm ration so the 5 gears are just spread out into 6 gears. Let’s say you cruise around at 30 mph in 4th with a 5 speed you could almost do that in 5th on a 6 speed box. The 6 speeds do tend so have a slightly lower rpm in 6th gear so when on the motorway at 70 you’ll get slightly better fuel consumption
Good video, quick question- to do the same in my t5.1 (65 plate ) do you know what parts I would need? 5 to 6 speed ?- carry on with the good content.👌👍
Hey John so the gearbox will come from a t5.1 or t6, I think you will need everything, drive shafts, gear selector, starter motor, and I’ve read the rear engine mount. Unsure on the flywheel and clutch. There is places I’ve seen selling a full kit so they would know the specifics 👍👍 thanks mate
Great video
Be interesting to see you do one on your transporter or is it a lot trickier ?
Great video as always nathan, I have the 1.9tdi BLS 5 speed, would this be the same for mine? All I would need it that gearbox? Thanks 🎉
Hey bud thank you and yep yours will be the same box as this 👍 whatever code I said in the video is the 6 speed you will need they are really cheap and come from the Touran 👍
@YTDTETV Thank you 😊
Ah yeh 👍
Fridays - Tea time 🫵👨 AhYe!
Ah ye thanks Raymond 🙏👍
Have you done a video on a 1 9 T5 gearbox replacement? Is there a 6 speed suitable for them?
Hey bud I’ve done a video on T5 gearbox but only like for like. Yes you can get a 6 speed for them they come from the later t5.1 with the 2.0 TDI. They ain’t the cheapest thow 👍
I said he's forgot a 21 when filling the service trolly up 🤪 wondered if you'd add it in. Great watch
Hey Robert ah ye you must know you way round a vag then 👍 apart from the rear shocks I think that’s the only 21mm on the whole car 😂👍
Do you have any videos of you changing the tensioner and drive belt on the transporter ?
Hey bud erm.. I’m not sure but I might be able to help. Does your aux belt flap and make a noise when your turning?
@YTDTETV yes, but I got my timing belt done 6 month back and apparently they also change the drive belt but not the pulley and tensioner. It's a t5.1 1.9tdi 84bhp all the videos I see are messy and not well recorded !
@YTDTETV just to note, love the videos !
Love a bit of dte on a Fri .
Any idea how a t6 5 to 6 speed conversion would play out ?
Also cracked my rear t6 bumper used super glue to temp patch it up .
Needs to come off for hot staples and possibly a rear spoiler.
Hey bud you can get a 6 speed from a 2.0tdi even the t5.1 has the same gearbox. They ain’t the cheapest thow. Hopefully you get your bumper fixed up 👍
Buying a hoodie now for this North Eastern wether.......AH YEAH!
Hey Paul thanks bud 🙏 i’m super happy with them I hope you like it 👍
great video. Do you know if i can do the same with 2002 skoda octavia? gearbox code EGS. cheers
Dte was thinking of gtd and dsg swap in caddy is it something you could sort
So true I come across 6 speed same size as five fort gear knob had wrong numbers on it 😂
Hey Chris I asked Andy once before this video if it definitely had 6 gears because it looked the same size 👍
? How many bolts are holding the gearbox to the engine please?
There 4 16mm bolts and 3 18mm bolts 👍
Unfortunately we don't have the Touran in Australia, so limits what caddy upgrades we can do and usable spares we could use!
Nice one! If Andy's van is running at around 100hp (i.e. without a remap), does it have the guts for a 6 speed box?
Hey bud he does have a light remap so is maybe around 140hp. They do make the tourans with 6 speed and 105hp so I guess it will be good 👍
@YTDTETV Wow, I didn't realise that about the Touran bhp.
I think with the Mk4 Caddy's, it's the 140bhp from factory models that have the 6 speed. I converted to 6 speed and a remap from 102 to 180bhp, she now sits on the motorway at 70mph purring away at about 1900rpm and mpg is very decent.......Ah Ye! 👍
i have just sold 2 of these gqn gearbox kits for guys with the 1.9tdi bls engines there a strait fit took them both out of tourans
Hey bud awesome so that is the code of the box then I got it right 👍 I will remember that as such a simple swap minimal parts needed
@@YTDTETV yes pal correct code sold a few of them now and fitted a few aswell great vids keep em comming
@@melwilliamson8208 thanks mate 👍👍
Ah Yh 🎉🎉
Thanks my man 🙏👍
Ah yeh hoddies ordered
Thanks Jon appreciate that mate the mrs will send them out first thing Monday 🙏👍
Can’t remember the gearbox code
Pretty sure it’s 02s is the 6 speed
Very weak box though they were a mk5 golf pd105 box
And you’re right the cups from the 5 speed do go in the 6 speed
Id love to 6 speed my t5, the 5 speeds car have as much torque..
I wonder if the caddy 6 speeds are a stronger box.... more power
When I first built my t5 I said I’d definitely be upgrading to a 6 speed but I’ve learned to love mine, don’t get me wrong if one come up super cheap I would still do it. The bigger 6 speed caddy box’s are really strong, the one we fitted in Andy’s is strong enough for his van but may not like something with more torque 👍
That’s an O2S style gearbox
The other “bigger” 6 speeds are 02M and 02Q
Hey bud thank you I knew there was some 0’s and 2’s but didn’t know so will put your info in the video description for everyone including me so it will always be there. One last thing is there a better gearbox out of the 2 bigger ones? Thanks again 👍
@ 02M is mk4 chassis based, O2Q is mk5/6 chassis based. As for which is better, personally I’ve seen plenty of each that have let go. You can fit either but you’ll need corresponding CL/FW as there is a bell housing dept difference of about 5mm. You can still use caddy shifter, just swap the ends 👍👍
ah ye😎😎
What's the story with 5 gears / 6 gears?
I've had an Audi B5 1.9 tdi 110 hp - 5 gears
Ive had a Passat B5.5 1.9 tdi 130 hp - 6 gears
Obviously the Passat felt a little bit more alive
However, both cars had around 2.500 rpm 120 km/h
My guess is that the 6th gear was squeezed somewhere in the range of the 5 gears.
On cars with 2.0 tdi with 6 gears, I had around 2000 rpm at 120 km/h. I guess on these engines, the 6th gear makes at difference in matter of fuel consumption.
Hey bud my thoery on 5 and 6 speeds is the overall ration will be the same between the 2 but the 6 speed just has more gears. Sometimes the 6 speeds does have a little lower rpm at higher speeds 👍
Nice tidy up my man although there is such a thing as organised chaos 🤙 shout out to you for the his and hers t shirts we ordered and received along with some extras you kindly included now gotta have me a pair of those hoodies come pay day 😱💪🫡
One out one in, jobs a good un. Ah Ye
Thanks Gary, went smoothly on this one, to smooth infact but it definitely works 👍
You shouldn't be telling us it takes two hours... customers will want to know why you are charging 4 hours labour 😂😉
@7m stoooooooooooooopppppppp clutch and flywheel no use too small
@9m carry on.....will work with the shitbox.........
Haha hey bud yep it’s the smaller box so it did work, I think it wouldn’t work with the bigger type gearbox thow 👍
@ yeah defo not needs the bigger clutch/flywheel inc for the shaft input shaft size
@ I only half knew that so when I swapped it in mine I replaced everything. Now you’ve told me for definitely I appreciate that bud 👍
Gearbox is an 02S type.
Tallest ratios in this style box have the code GQM.
5th is the same ratio as 6th so both do the same speed at the same RPM in 5v6 in that style of box no gain really.
2,3,4 are closer in the 6speed.
The later 02M and 02Q the 6th is like another gear so RPM is lower for the same speed as the 5speed box.
Also the 02M and 02Q use bigger clutches and boxes are rated to more torque than the 5speed.
Twin Engine Corsa, gave you a shout out today
14:27 on his last upload
Ah ye just checked it out, definitely good enough for the girls we date 👌
