Hi, can anyone answer what my seem a daft question. I have a 2.1 Automatic and am in the middle of fitting a second hand gearbox.As I am swapping some of the bits and pieces over, I thought I would just check a few things. On my original gearbox you can blow through ( using a air line ) the cooler and one the secondhand gearbox you can't blow through.
Which is correct , I am thinking the one you can blow through or does the cooler have a valve in to stop the flow of water until everything has reached temperature ?
Thanks

I have a cooler somewhare in the shed.I will look for it tomorrow if you don't get an answer before then.

there's no temp valve afaik, I have what I believe is a renault one in the workshop and the water chamber can be blown through; Rob can you measure the banjo bolt hole centres on the VW one please just in case they are the same as this one I have here as it is a Valeo unit and maybe still available new or refurbished and this one has the numbers on it

Will check tomorrow Aidan.

Thanks guys, ag going to try and fit the box today.

I was just concerned that I had a problem with the chamber and that contributed to the death of my auto box. .?
