Yep - Vanmatic in Hayes as listed on the ZF site so I think they are genuine. It is a solid car otherwise and hasn't given me any bother beyond tyres and brakes over the past 18 months (oh, and an inflated fuel bill...). What sort of money are we looking at for a reconditioned gearbox if it comes to that?

I suggest the first thing you do is ascertain EXACTLY which ZF box you have
just looked through our hosts list of boxes for used boxes for sale , and they have a 97 one which they say is correct ...code DRD , which fits a range of audis ! if that IS correct they want £300 , don't know what sort of guarantee , if any ,they offer it's come off a V6 so probably had less strain Last edited by oldnick; 6th June 2015 at 08:09 PM.

How do you determine what gearbox you have? That seems a reasonable price but I guess fitting is the expensive bit? I just about managed replacing the air blower myself, a gearbox may be a bit beyond me! I will call Vanmatic Monday and see what they say.

Build sticker in the boot or service book tells you the gearbox.
 Engine code and gearbox code are on the same line.
