    D2 GEAR BOX

    HELLO. I WIPED OFF MY TDI AND LOOKING AT BUYING TD5 TO REPLACE IT.
    I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY THE AUTO GEARBOXES NEED REPLACING. NEARLY EVERY ONE I HAVE LOOKED AT HAD THEM REPLACED. IS IT LACK OF MAINTANANCE OR A COMMON FAULT.
    I HAVE LOOKED AT THE POST ABOUT BUYING A TD5 AND IT TELLS YOU A FAIR BIT.
    BUT I JUST WISH TO KNOW ABOUT THE GEARBOX.
    APPRECIATE ANY INFO
    THANK YOU

    they tend to fail at around 200000 - 250000 ks I believe although I have seen ones that have done 400000 when buying any d2 make sure it has a good maintenance history

    The boxs live life on the edge, in stock form functional but not gaudy Their lifespan is about 230-240000kms. Some seem to go longer and some die early, irrespective of how you treat them. It is just 1 of the things to be aware of, you can have a great gearbox rebuilt by the likes of Ashcroft and others that use upgraded bits.
    Cheers Scott

    I would bet it depends on how clogged or not clogged their ATF cooler is from mud.

    Possibly, though mine had been a town car for most of its 230kms never towed, never missed a service, yet the box died big time. Blocked coolers will help along wth heavey towing/offroading though

    Interesting and timely.

    I've just been told that the auto box in mine will need to be refurbished. 290k kms on the odo.

    I guess I can't avoid it.

    What sort of costs are involved?

    $2000-$3000 plus fitting. Depends on who does it and what parts are required. Exchange box around $3000 from ZF
