Seademon 0 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Mate of mine is driving through Europe and his dif has gone on his 1.6 Bora (2004) Its being towed to a VW garage in France to be fixed but does anyone know the cost of a new one? He cant speak a word of French and is somewhere remote apparently!I've called my local VW dealer but they wanted a load of details from the car that I dont know so Im just after a rough price to let him know how much its gonna be costing himTa!

richievr 1 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 unfortunately you can't get a diff separately...will be a whole box, however ANY dealer should uphold the warranty provided the vehicle is less than 3 years old AND has less than 60.000 miles and service history.....hopefully he will be ok....pm me the reg / chassis number i'll get a box price...and part numbers ...

richievr 1 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 most 5 speed boxes (i assume its 5 speed being 1.6) are £1092 +vat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!but do need numbers to confirm Link to post Share on other sites
Seademon 0 Posted February 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Nice one cheers Rich! It is a 5 speed 1.6 - I reckoned about £1000 but then theres the vat & labour! Its in a VW garage somewhere in France now being worked on & he's been given a Renault Scenic courtesy car by the RAC. I think its done just over 40k (its a company car) so he should be cool. Thanks for that. Link to post Share on other sites
