Need a new gearbox for my gti, can i get one from any 6n2 or does it have to be from a gti. And does the gearbox from the 6n also fit?

Electronic Differential Lock - prevents wheel spin basically!

Lupo GTI box as long as its a 5 speed should be ok - get the gearbox code first though and I can check it for you.
