Swap Tiptronic Woth Dsg

[Alex@MKA]

Hi,

 

I own a Ford Galaxy 1.9TDI 116HP, year 2002,engine code AUY, with automatic/tiptronic gearbox made by JatCo, type P/R/N/D/4/3/2

Recently it started to give me headaches due to the fact that the 4rd and 5th gear started to slip at full throtle.

For this problem I should spend around 800-1000 Euro, at least, so I started to think: "for the same money, could be possible to change the actual gearbox with a DSG gearbox?"

If "Yes", the DSG should be taken from Touran or GOlf 5 or Octavia and from what engine (1.9 or 2.0TDI)?

 

Thank you.

I think there will be ALOT more than just swapping the gearbox mate, you'll also need a DSG ECU ( maybe the old automatic g/box ECU just needs remapping? I dunno) and I suspect there is more to it than that too.

I can buy the DSG gearbox together with ECU, so here no problem.

I don't know if technical could be possible to change the gearbox. I'm engineer and I worked in the automotive industry but I don't have the skills to compare side by side the tech specifications for each gearbox.
