Re: Auto gearbox
Had one for a few years. Very nice in stop start city traffic and smooth. Not good for the MPG, a bit down on power and they're all getting old now and the seals are hardening. Expensive to repair

Re: Auto gearbox
Hi,
Had an auto (Autosleeper) for about 17yrs now. Run on lpg 99% of the time. Fuel consumption and power a little down but never had a problem. Has climbed some pretty steep hills with no difficulty.
Repairers, good ones, are around, as are the cowboys as there is a limited amount you can do. Did read somewhere that the auto box is/was the best and toughest one that VW produced. Would not change mine.
