Mk2 Storm gearbox code

Post by mark1gls »

Any one know what gearbox is fitted to a Mk2 storm out of the factory?
I have a Mk2 storm engine and gear which I'm rebuilding and the gearbox fitted is a 6W gearbox, I can't find it listed on the brokeVW website and if I google it I seem to find the 6W is fitted to an BL Maestro?
I'm trying to find if its the original gearbox then I have an idea of the mileage it's covered or if it's another gearbox fitted to the car at a later date.

Thanks for the code. I belive that also means it has 90mm flanges?

If so that's something else I need to change as I've got 100mm flanges.
