This thread is about 7 & 8 speed gearboxes not various finance options or someone with paper skin getting splinters.

Hi

My car a B4 fwd is due at the dealership ship next week with a collection date of the 2nd November, customer services have confirmed to me that it will have a 7 speed box so the changeover of gearbox looks to have been recent or possibly some cars have been held up waiting for chips.

You would think that once the 7 speed boxes start being used they would all be same, but someone had a 7 speed delivered other week and then a few of us on here had cars delivered afterwards with 8 speed, So until the car is physically at your dealership you may not truly know, but whatever you get i am sure you will enjoy your new car. I am loving mine,,,had nearly a week and all good so far.

Could this be to do with whether the car is front wheel drive (7 speed) or four wheel drive (8 speed)?

Mine is front wheel drive and 8 speed so don’t look like that’s the reason

7-speed on some, 8-speed on others - with what seems no reasoning - perhaps they are fitting what they can get hold of?
