Title: ZF Auto - Petrol same as diesel??
Post by: landyman Ash on April 25, 2005, 06:58:46

Does anyone know if the ZF in the V8 is the same as the one in the tdi?

I think its just the torque convertor thats different but I need to know as mine blew up at weekend towing the hybrid back from Husbands Bosworth  :evil:

Ive got two spare V8 ones so Im hoping they are the same, juts different torque convertors  :D

I'm lead to believe that the v8 has a different bell housing and the output shaft if bigger than the tdi box.

Let me know if it turns out different as i'm looking for a zf box for my tdi 90

Thankfully the gear box failure was just down to a loose pipe on top of the box.

The tdi is certainly a different bell housing but I dont know about the input shaft.  Having several V8 autos and only one Tdi, when I take the box out I'll let you know mate.

Hopefully it will be a while before the box comes out!!!!!  :D
