VW T5 KOMBI 4TH GEAR

Post by SechabaP »

Hi there

I am looking for gear 4 of the VW T5 Kombi or transporter. Its a 1.9 TDI 2009 model. I have looked all over JHB CBD area and most gearbox shops do not have the part. I cannot afford to buy another gearbox hence I need the part only.

Any suggestions or places I can look or anyone has the spare to sell to me?

Regards
Sechaba

Managed to get the 4th gear but the teeth are a bit more. Original out of the box gas 27/33 and 32 teeth. The new 2nd hand one has 32/33 and 31 teeth. Is this not going to give me issues? :-(

I think these Kombi are a problem. Nice to drive but troublesome.

use the spec quoted in the manual for the gearbox oil. being diesel has nothing to do with it,
I like liqui moly 4200 for those engines.

Hi Guys

I have just finished with the gearbox, after a week of driving the car is now taking out white smoke while driving or accelerating.
Turbo has been done, new head was put in, I dont know what else to do.

Any advise on what might be the issue now?

I don't know much about cars but i had a diesel bakkie having white smoke and the problem was that the diesel was contaminated. Another time the diesel filter was clogged and after a sometime the injectors had to be fixed. Hope this helps.

Since the head was done, was the injector seals replaced? New bolts used?

T5 1.9 has an AXB engine, pretty much the same as the polos and seats. Same stuff apply, lots of info regarding Injectors and seals on here

When a car tailgates me, i slow down - then floor it and give them a cloud of diesel smoke to choke on :driving:

The seal was changed after the head was done, injector were checked and tested. I will try the filter and change oil to see if there is any change.
