We knew you would come through and sort it no matter what. Best result all round, using the gearbox you already had, saving a small fortune and great content for us. 👍🏽😎
Really happy that you got it sorted! I would definitely think that the rpm is a few hundred lower at 70mph, you might want to look into the speedometer, and if it's accurate after the change, I would love to have a diesel gearbox on my 3.0 Audi A6, would do a nice difference in fuel economy... Great work mate! 👏👏👏 So happy you got it sorted and save a couple of hundred...😊
Nice tip on how to set up the gear linkage. I replaced the gearbox on my Golf 6 and it magically just worked without setting any linkage. I wondered what on earth that lever was for. Now I know. Cheers mate.
That gearbox selector lever actually sets the distance between gears. So if you buy a short-shift kit it usually consists of that lever. I bought one for an S3 8L and had the same thing happen with the thicker pin.
Well done Dean you have been working unbelievably hard 👍 btw I have just ordered 2 rounds of the vanilla y food and saved 10% many thanks for that code much appreciated take care and look forward to you working on the Porsche 👍👍🇬🇧
Oh dear sorry to hear that you are still having problems with the coil packs and that’s great news about the new gear box being much better than the old one
My Audi engine cover has been off more than I've had not dinners!!, Glad the gearbox worked, looks a decent car now !!, We'll done Dean, enjoyed the vid, entree the Porcheeee.
At last, maybe this is the end off many nasty problems, but as always you repaired all these problems very well ! Compliments, I would lost may patience with all those setbacks you had to deal with, my compliments !
That's good I've never heard of a speedo pick up through ABS but then I specialise in Fords and was just thinking out loud, Keep up the great videos and work can't wait for you to start on the Porsche.
Yeah, there’s no sensors on the manual gearbox (other than reverse switch) that can pick up speed. Automatic gearboxes I think pick up speed though. Not 100%
congrats on the Porsche mate cant wait to see you start that the A3 has been a pain in the butt to you i loved the comment someone buy it quick before something else goes wrong lmfao be honest i think the diesel box will take a lot more punishment than the petrol as the diesel is much higher compression than the petrol my beloved mk5 golf just passed it test on friday then Monday night lost all its drive had to be towed home only to find the intermediate shaft is now toohtless i expect the cause of this is it started life as a 140 bhp then engine swap to 170 its now 220 bhp running gear still 140 and the intermediate shaft was shafted luckiy the toothed gearbox spline was undamaged the golf will ride again
I like it, I’ve come up with a cunning plan, now where have I heard that before mr, blackadder, ps oh dear I winced when you said this car is done, it was done when you got it, I’m going to miss this saga but looking forward to seeing the porche vids, great stuff
Who's a luck boy then, well done Dean , now get rid, but honestly I think if I was aware of all when looking at it I would consider buying it. you've broken the spell on it . Next video please.
One issue I have heard about swapping gearboxes with different ratios is that the cruise control no longer works. Think it has to do with the ECU wanting a certain RPM in a certain gear at a certain speed. Might want to check that.
Didnt realise the box is the same off a FWD car and you can just bolt on the front transfer box for the rear drive....cracking result. Man you looked fed up before cjsnging those 3 coilpacks.......glad its done though.....
Yes you can do that, although this gearbox was of a 4x4 golf so had a transfer box fitted on it as well. As long as the FWD gearbox has the fittings for a transfer box then all good
As you were reversing out of the workshop the exhaust gasses looked very wet and steamy. If your misfire comes back you might have a slightly leaky head gasket. Could have just been condensation though. Well done on the gearbox though!
About ratios - you could have put it into each gear and turned the input shaft, then counted the revolutions on the output after 10 turns or so. Then do it for the other box and you could see the difference :) Great content.
Well done dean. Great gamble and glad it paid off finally. Car is sounding sweet now. Did look very smoky when you reverse it out of the garage during the video. But well done mate.
Wife has the 1.6 version of this since new and has never given any trouble at all. Audi's are expensive but they are solid, reliable and classy and are a cut above a lot of the mediocrity you see on the road.
Really like your videos but hope you don't mind me saying? From an old man to a youngster, please get off the floor and work on a bench, you will have no back left by the time you are 40 . Great content 👍
I could sense your frustration on that one!, what fascinated me is how the audi got to that state in the first place. It looks like a smart car which hasn't been very well looked after to me. I'm still not that much of a fan of the VAG group, your surprise that the gearbox fits shows that even you are fooled by audis glossy bodywork when it really is just a bloody golf, Leon bits of Octavia in a nice suit. Bearing in mind your new motor and not being nasty bout u spending ur own brass, if I was buying a new one id have a Skoda as I feel the others are taking the pee charging alot more for the same thing. I know ford's did it with my original mk1 focus chassis with volvos of the time & the mazda 3, but now they are separate, to think of all manufacturers of mainstream high volume stuff Ford are "original" and not tied to anybody. I also think it's awful Ford and VW are collaborating on the new Transit and Transporter models which might be cost effective, sadly kills off x2 separate model lines with great sales and reputation so that they can cut costs, nothing else. Anyway old man rant over!!!, 😆😆. I still prefer the Octavia, BUT I've had an idea for the next project, a car I really like for being different,........................... The Skoda Yeti! Lovely car! Stay safe and be careful. Ben 🚍🚌😷😷
@@ronanwood6891 .Not necessarily. The cars are primarily front wheel drive, only engaging the haldex for 4 wheel drive when needed. Under normal driving conditions the rears aren`t getting any torque at all so the haldex is just freewheeling. It only kicks in under hard acceleration or when the front tyres slip. I`m fairly sure the diff ratios on the petrol and diesel are quite different.
I did not expect that! I hope you will declare that it has a GTD gearbox when selling it. Also wondering if the speed identified by the instrument cluster will be incorrect due to the change in gear ratios as a result of changing the gearbox. The speed at the wheels would be off resulting in a different vehicle speed to what the speedometer says. Or am I mad?
Mad how these gear boxes can be changed about I remember back in my Boy racer days if the gear box on the 1.6 cvh engine played up we would use one from a Ford diesel engine apparently they were stronger?
Hi dean looking forward to seeing you re fit the gear box and looking forward to see starting the Porsche and oh dear what are you going to do about the gearbox you brought and I hope you can get a refund for it
A few thing's that would worry me I think that the speedo will now be out and also the front diff may not be in synch with the rear axe ratio, and one last thing I would try it out with 5 people in it and maybe some simulated luggage I think it might struggle. Anyway love your videos and all the best of luck.
The speedo isn’t linked tge the gearbox, it’s done through abs so won’t be affected. Yeah the figures I saw they looked the same. Will road test for a few hundred miles to make sure. But I think it’s fine 👌🏼
60 in all gears made me laugh. Nice 1 matey done at last.
he looked at the rev counter
We knew you would come through and sort it no matter what. Best result all round, using the gearbox you already had, saving a small fortune and great content for us. 👍🏽😎
Someone buy it before it breaks again 😂😂
That’s why he does car mechanics and delivery NOT sales as a profession😂😂
It'a a pleasure to see someone with hands growing from the right place fixing his cars 😁
Great vid, that was really interesting seeing how the gears are set up, and finally finished!, bring on the Porsche👍
Thanks 🙏🏼
Really happy that you got it sorted!

Great work mate! 👏👏👏 So happy you got it sorted and save a couple of hundred...😊
The speed is picked up through the abs so the only thing that would effect the speed is the size of the wheels/tyres 👍🏽
Now there's a man who's itching to stop pissing about with his other stuff and get his hands on the Porsche 🤣🤣
Another brilliant video as always and enjoying all the videos you are doing
Great work, well done. now the next one!
Chuffed for you Dean, finally finished!👍👍 Looking forward to seeing the work on the Porsche next. Brill channel 👍
Thanks mate 🙌🏼
Always buy a full set set of coilpacks! When one coilpacks breaks the others are not far behind!
Nice tip on how to set up the gear linkage. I replaced the gearbox on my Golf 6 and it magically just worked without setting any linkage. I wondered what on earth that lever was for. Now I know. Cheers mate.

Top man, what a grafter you are, so glad it worked out, you are some mechanic, nothing phases you, brilliant, cant wait to see the Porsche content.
Thanks mate 🙌🏼
great news. enjoyed all the ups and downs
Well done Dean you have been working unbelievably hard 👍 btw I have just ordered 2 rounds of the vanilla y food and saved 10% many thanks for that code much appreciated take care and look forward to you working on the Porsche 👍👍🇬🇧
Thanks Mark! Much appreciated 💪🏽💪🏽
Oh dear sorry to hear that you are still having problems with the coil packs and that’s great news about the new gear box being much better than the old one
I think that was the best choice, fit that golf gearbox you had instead of the extra expense of another second hand one or rebuilding the other
Great work on the A3 that was a good result with the gearbox swap. Look forward to see the RS4 update 👌
That’s good news that the flywheel and the clutch are in good condition and you will save the money on to having to replace them
You'll be glad to see the back of that A3. At least the TDI gearbox worked out well though. Nice work
Really enjoyed this build Dean ,well done on ironing out all the problems .Excellent content and one of my fav channels.
Thanks mate!
Yet another great update mate , hope everything under the Porsche is ok now you can get it up in the air
Thanks mate! Me too! 😂
My Audi engine cover has been off more than I've had not dinners!!, Glad the gearbox worked, looks a decent car now !!, We'll done Dean, enjoyed the vid, entree the Porcheeee.
Whoooooooooo let’s all party get the thing sold quick before it fail again lol. Looking forward to the awesome sounding Porsche.
Top work! I'm glad you fitted the diesel gearbox I was interested in seeing what it was like difference wise. Really interesting again 👍👍😎😎
Have binge watched the entire channel in the last week or so. Great content!
Thanks mate 👌🏼👌🏼
Nice one, good to know the interchangeability of the gearbox, useful information.
At last, maybe this is the end off many nasty problems, but as always you repaired all these problems very well ! Compliments, I would lost may patience with all those setbacks you had to deal with, my compliments !

Thanks for another cracking video and well thought out to use the golf gearbox 👍👍
Top work mate, I would reset the Self adjusting clutch plate before refiting it as it may cause pre mature wear
So now you can get the 5th gear synchro fixed in your own time and have a working box to sell or keep.
Well done great job!
Looking forward to What you do with the Porsche!
Well done mate. Hope the sale goes well. Mines just past it’s MOT for another year which I’m glad as I like the car.
congrats on the Porsche mate cant wait to see you start that the A3 has been a pain in the butt to you i loved the comment someone buy it quick before something else goes wrong lmfao be honest i think the diesel box will take a lot more punishment than the petrol as the diesel is much higher compression than the petrol my beloved mk5 golf just passed it test on friday then Monday night lost all its drive had to be towed home only to find the intermediate shaft is now toohtless i expect the cause of this is it started life as a 140 bhp then engine swap to 170 its now 220 bhp running gear still 140 and the intermediate shaft was shafted luckiy the toothed gearbox spline was undamaged the golf will ride again

Hello good job time to move it on before something else goes 👍
Who's a luck boy then, well done Dean , now get rid, but honestly I think if I was aware of all when looking at it I would consider buying it. you've broken the spell on it . Next video please.
Great video as always you will be happy to move that on.

great video can't wait for the Porsche video😍
Nice to see it all done, congrats.
Diesel box has a stronger plate due to extra torq. Petty one is much thinner.
looking forward to the porsche

Great video, bet you can’t wait to get the Porsche on the ramp 👍
As you were reversing out of the workshop the exhaust gasses looked very wet and steamy. If your misfire comes back you might have a slightly leaky head gasket. Could have just been condensation though. Well done on the gearbox though!
That was just condensation as it was a very cold start. Went away after a few mins 👍🏽
Good content mate. Cant wait for you to start the porsche.
About ratios - you could have put it into each gear and turned the input shaft, then counted the revolutions on the output after 10 turns or so. Then do it for the other box and you could see the difference :)
Great content.
If I’m honest I would have fit a hamster and wheel if I didn’t fit that gearbox! I needed it out the workshop! 😂
Well done dean. Great gamble and glad it paid off finally. Car is sounding sweet now. Did look very smoky when you reverse it out of the garage during the video. But well done mate.
Thanks bud, that was just condensation, cold start 👍🏽
glad u got it fixed, hope u make good profit on it
Lovely Jubbly, now get it cleaned and sold, move onto the Porsche.🙂
Wife has the 1.6 version of this since new and has never given any trouble at all. Audi's are expensive but they are solid, reliable and classy and are a cut above a lot of the mediocrity you see on the road.
Tidy that workshop haha would drive me mad. Good content looking forward to the Porsche
Working on it! Got a skip 😂
Yay, great job. Hope you sell it soon
5:50 thought there was an ice cream van coming round
Nice tidy job on the car.
Dean, I don't which was more dodgy.. That a3 or your home hair cut!?!?! 🙊😜
Well done old boy, brilliant.
Well done Dean. Get rid of it mate and a lot of your headaches. Great content though.
That will be economical at 60 mph !😏 And guaranteed no speeding tickets on dual carriageways and motorways !!!
Keep up the good work
Great work and thanks for the awesome content stay safe and take care
Mate what a Mission!, Well done you've saved a cool car, now Clean and Detail the crap out of it and sell it for top dollar👍👍
It's a pile of junk
Dis you miss the bit you said "I'll just move the Porsche out of the way" nice problems to have!
Really like your videos but hope you don't mind me saying? From an old man to a youngster, please get off the floor and work on a bench, you will have no back left by the time you are 40 . Great content 👍
He said in a previous video hes happy working in a shit tip. Lol.
It’s an organised shit tip! 😂 I hate cleaning up as that’s when I lose stuff 😂
Well done. Btw, think that Porsche looks an expensive repair!
Is the work ever finished on a Audi 😂 I've got one. Seems to demand my attention a lot. Built up a nice tool collection as well.
Nice one Dean
Brilliant, excellent video although have I missed something where did the golf gearbox come from ?
Get that Porsche stripped down quick Dean as part's might go up 40% after Jan the 1st if what they say is right.
*Well done, what a pain.*
Well done Dean
It will sooner than later, 2.0 tfsi or TSI doesn't matter not the best engines. I've got one in my Scirocco - nothing but problems

Stay safe and be careful. Ben 🚍🚌😷😷
Glad it's sorted, hopefully someone will take it off your hands ✋
This is a better upload, than if you'd fitted the second hand box
Good content about the gearbox .have you thought about doing a q&a video about things ?
Thanks! That could be a possible video! 👍🏽
Great work been watching your videos lately just subscribe keep up great work mate
Thanks mate 👌🏼
Great video and things worked out well, what a useless plonker accidentally sending you the wrong box 😤
Great job 👍
Hi buddy gr8 content!!! Did you replace the dogbone mount as you mentioned there was some tilt in the drivetrain?
Yes I did, it didn't solve my problem, as it was the gearbox after all. but stiffens up gear shifts.
Brilliant video and exciting content too. Can’t wait to see the Porsche on the ramps. What do you look for when checking the clutch is okay?
I would guess,meat left on it,no scorch marked or uneven wear and a general look over.
What Bryan said 👌🏼
Great 👍 onto the next one 😃
Knew that TDI box would be fine :)
I am wishing you luck mate if it wasn't for none you wouldn't have any!
Have you checked the diff ratio ? If different front and rear wheels will rotate at different speeds.
Id think you would really notice that if it were the case when driving
@@ronanwood6891 .Not necessarily. The cars are primarily front wheel drive, only engaging the haldex for 4 wheel drive when needed.

That seat belt is killing me🤣😂
Well done mate great content. I noticed no plastic runner on the selector. Did you not need it?
🤣
I did not expect that! I hope you will declare that it has a GTD gearbox when selling it.
Also wondering if the speed identified by the instrument cluster will be incorrect due to the change in gear ratios as a result of changing the gearbox. The speed at the wheels would be off resulting in a different vehicle speed to what the speedometer says. Or am I mad?
Will the Audi be getting a valet before selling? The mouldy seat belt may not be a great incentive!
I was thinking the same thing! lol
Yes it will be 👌🏼👌🏼
Thought it was vernon kay for a minute lol
Nah his teeth ain’t as white as vernon Kay’s lol 😝
Mad how these gear boxes can be changed about I remember back in my Boy racer days if the gear box on the 1.6 cvh engine played up we would use one from a Ford diesel engine apparently they were stronger?
I never confirmed it but I was sure my 1985 1.6 Orion Diesel had a petrol box in it, probably as standard.
@@julianlangdon3456 I know my friend s series 2 rs rs turdo had a diesel box I helped him put it in
Got there in the end 👍
Yes sir, keeping it real. 👍
Hi dean looking forward to seeing you re fit the gear box and looking forward to see starting the Porsche and oh dear what are you going to do about the gearbox you brought and I hope you can get a refund for it
Great video. Is it essential to remove the sub frame when removing the gearbox. Need to change the flywheel on mine.
Thanks
Glad it's not just me that gets annoyed with the tfsi engine cover
i wish you were local to me,my saab is starting to have a crunchy second gear
Ignore it won’t hurt.
My 95 tdi did the same lost 2nd and 5th eventually
