Wiring is pretty easy. It's a nice swap if you have all your ducks in a row.

Same here, was thinking yesterday that I should get on it as it gets tiring on longer drives not to have a CC.

Cruise done and working....Reverse lights, well I have the pigtail for the transmission and located the wires in the harness. Does that count as good enough?

Anyone ever seen a later o1e that didn't have the speed sensor ring installed? I guess it used the ABS system for speed much like the mk5's do. I installed the sensor pickup and couldn't figure out why my speedo wasn't working... I was looking at this manual and it did mention #9 was "Not fitted from 07.2002"

It is a GAZ. Exact same gearing as the DQS. I think it came from an A6. I had this one and a DQS come together so it's been interested comparing the two. Two different style shifter setups, different reverse switches, different axle flanges. Besides gearing I havn't really looked into what else could be different. This one is definitely a later trans as it does or did have the later linkage.
I was just surprised to see no one else run into it with a different trans but i guess when you are shopping you are picking out the trans that you want. With a little research it all made sense and was pretty easy to install. Pop the drivers axle flange out as well as the seal. Snap it in to the differential, install new seal, put your flange back in.

Good to hear it's an easy fix.

Want to run my wires over the reverse lights? It's only been 2 years...Finally installed my cruise wire! - only a year and a half later!
My cruise works. Gotta have priorities!!Sure - I think I have an extra connector if you need. I wanna drive your car again anyway - I've got all new mounts now, and I wanna feel the vibration difference to see if it's worth installing the geared BSM I picked up a while back.

Anytime - come on over. (You don't actually have to fix the wires for me either I'm just being lazy and treated it like an appliance for the past 2 years.)

Very helpful thread - thanks for taking the time to post it all up.

Hey Matt,
Your mileage should not be that low. After I did mine I experienced simililar mileage and was blaming the tune.
I'm embarrassed to say I had the computer in wrong setting where readout is,
Check the stalk on right of steering and on lower side is a button that changes readout. Make sure it's on proper setting.
As far as AC goes it sound like a flaky Relay. It's discussed here if you do a search.

I did mileage from the the fill up of total tank.

Who did your tune to re program computer for gearbox?
What gearbox do you have, 5 or 6 speed?
When you coast can you notice your brakes dragging. You should definitely get better mileage than that.

Was this calculated, or from the MFA display - how many miles and how many gallons, have you calculated any additional tanks.

Tell us the MPH you are going at 2000 RPM in 5th gear if you have a 5 speed or 6th gear if you have a 6 speed.

5 speed, ill find out which one. Not sure about brake dragging, only been with the car three weeks, my previous car was a geo metro
Everything dragged.mattbuy

Ill find out the code, it was bought in europe to match with the tdi

I didnt write it down but it worked out at 33MPG from total gallons replaced in the tank and miles driven since fill up. I have only filled up twice in the three weeks ive had it. My daily commute is only 40 roundtrip.

If I remember in 5th gear (a five speed), not sure, I think I saw this morning 60 mph at 1800 or so, but there was probably a slight decline. I ll check today on the way home

i checked an older text from the mechanic, he said car was doing 2250 at 70mph

That is consistent with a 5 speed FHN/GGB. Double check it for yourself though.

I measured by the tank.
Ac relay found in junk yard....works fine now. I re soldered the old one also. Crack was right where forum said it would be.

I read through this whole thread, but I just wanted clarification on a couple of things.
Mating a BHW to an 01E using a 228mm OEM DMF. I can already confirm that the DMF has the exact same gear pattern as the flex plate that used to be there (distance, number of teeth, etc), so I know the original starter will fit and engage properly. However I just wanted to be sure that the original starter will have enough starting torque. I was looking at specs, and it seems auto trans starters draw 1700 watts while manual trans starters draw 2000 watts. This confuses me since it seems the flywheel and pressure plate don't weigh as much as the old torque converter and flex plate (can't confirm though, since the old torque converter is gone). Maybe it has something to do with spin speed on a 228mm DMF vs the 240mm DMF typically found on manual trans 01E's?
Also, will the old starter bolts still fit?

If you are using the original starter that came with the BHW, then it has enough torque to crank over the engine.
228mm = same # of starter teeth, and there's no more (arguably less) drag in a manual transmission vs an automatic.
The only reason I can think of that the std starter would be higher wattage is that it was what was already on the shelf that fit the application when the need arose.
