Hi,i was wondering if anyone has done a conversion from 5 to 6 speed on a skoda octavia 3 1.6 tdi, 81kw, engine cxxb? Or if anyone knows which gearbox will be plug and play? Same axles, same clutch,same starter motor? And will i be able to code the gearbox with vcds or obdeleven? Thanks in advance,cheers.

Easiest thing is if you find a scrapped late 2017 TDI1.6. These all came with 6 speed gearboxes as standard.

Hi,i have all the necessary bits to make the retrofit,it's only the software part that's bugging me.

Any reason you’re not just buying a car with a six speed box in the first place?

Yes,the car was very cheap, but already had a 5 speed,for 200 euros i got everything needed to make the conversion.i bought the car for 5000 €, plus 200€ of the gearbox, 5.200 €. I'm not quite sure where you will find a 6 speed skoda octavia 3 from 2015 with 115.000 km for 5200.thats basically the reason.
