Can anyone tell me why there has been so many problems with GTI 6n2 gearbox??
Is it a common fault ?
I think volkswagen should recall all of our cars and fit brand new state of the art gearboxes!! ha ha ha
Yes......you guessed it Gearbox??

Course they've known about it, or they wouldn't have changed the lupo gti from 5 speed to 6 (The very first loops were 5 speed)olop_chris wrote:Thats all that seems to be cropping up on the forum at the moment!
I hate VW for snubbing the Polo GTi about this, surely they realised a long time ago...
As the lupo gti uses the same Avy engine in the later 6n2 Gti's

Yeah i know that mate, Im just suspicious that they knew all along and tried to cut back on costs in the first place...hoping that it would last long enough for them not to have to be involved through warranties.

The change on the lupo gti from the 5 to 6 speed box was unrelated to the failure of the polo gti boxes, there aren't any problems with the lupo gti 5 speeds and the 6 speed is simply the 5 with another cog (and lower ratios), they just added it to increase drivability and help justify the high price of the car. The lupo sport gearboxes seem to have exactly the same problem as the polo gti's though !RICHARD HARPER wrote:Course they've known about it, or they wouldn't have changed the lupo gti from 5 speed to 6 (The very first loops were 5 speed)olop_chris wrote:Thats all that seems to be cropping up on the forum at the moment!
