Hello, I've been wondering for a while now as to would it be possible to swap a manual transmission into the 1.4 twincharge. Now I know dsg will be faster and all that but I personally like manuals.

 

I'm wondering if there are gearboxes that would mate up to the existing EA111 block from either the Skoda platform or any of the VW groups cars, any help on this would be much appreciated.

There were / are manual 160ps 1.4 TSI Twincharger Golfs. 

Let us know how you get on with it.

 

A member is breaking a Mk2 Fabia vRS, but that is maybe done now.      Make sure you start with a good engine unless you are rebuilding that.

Manual gearboxes for Golf platforms are often larger because there is more room, unless there was a manual option listed this maybe why the Fabia was only available with a DSG.

I think the whole reason behind the DSG only was emissions for going to Euro 5 and the hike from 125ps & 150/160 ps to 180/185 ps.

 

The DQ200 is 7 speed in D, but 6 Speed in S.

Some early standard cars do go into 7 S under load and on full throttle at around 127 mph.

 

The Ibiza, Fabia, Polo & A1 had the 1.4 TSI / TFSI 132-136kW Twincharger with just a DQ200 DSG from 2009-2014.

The Ibiza had 150 ps or 180ps but both had the DSG.

 

 

Then as there was a slight change / update of the platform the Polo GTI in 2014/15 got the 1.8 TSI (192ps) with a DSG and 250 Nm & the Manual with 320Nm.

In 2014 the Audi A1 got a 2 litre petrol engine and Quarto to have a S1 for homologation.

So is that yes manual or no manual available on Polo 9N platform with twincharger engine?

No manual VW Polo GTI 1.4 TSI Twinchargers. with the  Polo Mk4 , 9N.    Or DSG's.

2001-2009.

 

Or manuals with the Polo GTI when introduced in 2010, the Type 6R 2009-2014

So based on that info, the golf twincharge would still be the best option to go for in terms on a manual swap ? Would anyone know the gearbox/engine code I need to look for 

That would be a terrible one to go for.  They were a disaster for timing chain issues.

 

Are you not best getting a 2 litre diesel engines and fitting that to the car you already have like @AMD87did.

Maybe just making less power than his.

 

Or mod your 1.6 TDI.

Not forgetting the mounts are all different on the golf too 

I think there was a slight misunderstanding, I want to keep my 1.4 twincharge in the Skoda and just mate the manual gearbox to it, I was referring to the gold twincharge gearbox if that would be the best option to go for ? I don't want to go diesel 

Sorry i had no idea you already had a vRS.

I thought you were just thinking on getting one and changing it to a manual box.

 

The Elegance 1.6 TDI to the left was what i was looking at.

 

I have no idea what the Golf Manual box was or if you would find one.

That's okay, and apologies from my side too, I did have a 1.6 elegance but not anymore I need to change that 😊, well thank you for your help 

The box in the GT was 6 speed 02S

 

File attached, its the workshop PDF, had to zip it to be under 10MB
