I would like to ask our gearbox code should be either FFW or ETG. Please tell me which one?? Thank you so much!!
Now I know I have to order the pinion gear kit.
Beside this kit, should I get some bearing also??

Gearbox code is ETG (front of service book is a sticker and it's to the right of the engine code - which is AVY)

If you look on the sticker (either at front of your service book or on the car) to the right of your engine code you will see your gearbox code - on mine it's ETG - I don't imagine your gearbox will be anything different.

Sorry if I was not being clear. The info you need is on your build sticker (the sticker is about 10cm by 5cm at a guess) - the sticker contains info about your car such as colour, options, engine code, gearbox code, etc
The build sticker is located in the front of your service book. If you don't have your original service book then there should also be one on the car somewhere (i'll look for mine later) but try inside the boot, or on door pillars - basically they are not hidden.
When you locate it you will see ARC in big letters (this is your engine code) to the right of this will be (probably) ETG in big letters also (this is your gearbox code)

As above, it should be on the left hand side of your boot under the carpet covering the spare wheel.
