Hi all. As the name suggests I belive my 4 speed auto box has gone pear shaped! Basically last night when I was driving out of camp I put her into neutral thinking it was drive and tried pulling off. I then realised my mistake and then put her in drive but nothing. I then turned off the engine and restarted her. 200meters later there was a sort of grinding and judder noise and it wouldnt go above 5mph (approx) I then limped her back and parked her up. Any ideas from any one would be gratefully received in advance as Im now stuck on bloody camp (ALdershot) unable to get home for Xmas and

hi there charged! If you are going down the R32 route would you like to sell me your charger to help with funds for the R32? Just a thought pecca

Blimey i was about to just post the same thing! I am seriously looking at either doing one of two things: supercharge and ca it. Or 24V engine transplant from either an R32 or the V6 lump from a 4motion. I think i would need to try and keep the gearbox with the new engine as my 3door vr6 has an auto box. Any ideasa please please help us. Oh and is it a propa pain in the ass trying to fit new gearbox and replumb in the wiring loom??????? Many many thanks pecca x

Hi buddy I have just done a little bit of searching on here as my engine is fast approaching 140k!! So I dont know if I should run it into the ground until it goes POP! Or to start looking into the R32 route, pretty cool to have that engine in and running sweet BUT is it really worth all the hassle and cost? Some people have stated that the passat 24V V6 can be fitted instead and cheaper easier to do. I have tried a search for this but to no avail. So stick with the R32 plan. Or rebuild your normal lump or go for the 24V V6? Keep me informed buddy if you go the R32 route and let me know ho
