TDV6? Is this the exhaust balance pipe or fuel rail one? Either way it doesn't surprise me, but that engine is a good one to shop round on as the LION V6 is used in a lot of different vehicles - Jag's, Citroens, Peugeots as well as Ford & LR
Yea, tdv6 exhaust balance pipe.
I expect most of the other parts are the same, the only big difference is the land rover has a single big turbo for low end torque rather than the twin turbos fitted to a lot of the other cars that use the same engine.

Sounds to me like it’s probably the O/S wheel bearing?

Tell me about it and I never even swapped anything.
I jacked up one side, put in gear and let the clutch out, did the same on the opposite side.
Warning and lights went crazy, ABS, brakes, airbag, engine management etc etc. Most went out after drove a few miles but the glow plug warning and engine managment didn't and the radio wouldn't work.
Thought it may be fuses but I took every one out and checked and all were ok but just doing that cured all except the radio. Took the radio out and checked the fuse in the back and it was fine, switched ignition on and the radio now worked
Only problem was I had the airback warning light disconnected when I switched on the ignition so now I had a fault on it even after plugging it back in. Got a diagnostics reader today and was able to clear that but there are still a few faults showing, one for cooling fan low and the other glow plug module so I will have to investigate why they are there.
No, definitely not the wheel bearing. I can be sure for 2 reasons, first is the noise is coming from the left hand side when sitting in the car, diff is just left of centre and secondly the wheel bearing is new(ish).
Don’t think they will swap as complete units. The Passat is basically the same as the Superb which has a north/south engine layout, whereas the Octy is transverse. Both front wheel drive and the Superb has driveshafts coming from opposite sides of the box casing. Octy has the traditional FWD box casings that go with a transverse engine.
This is why vehicles now use the ABS hall sensors to figure out road speed now
It's more about it being cheaper.
Why fit a gearbox speed sensor, when you already have 4 wheel speed sensors and an ABS module that know how fast the vehicle is going?
It's all done via CAN bus now, but there were some vehicles that relied on the ABS module generating a synthetic gearbox speed sensor output to the instrument cluster, as it saved the cost of the gearbox speed sensor and not having to re-design the CAN bus architecture to allow the instrument cluster to communicate with the ABS.

Thank goodness for that, I was starting disbelieve my memory
Yes, it is the 2.0 TDi 170 horse.

If you look in your service book or at the sticker in the boot you'll find the transmission code. They did give issues with diff bearings, if you want to be sure before dropping the cash on a box just run it through the gears with the 2 driveshafts removed.
Somewhere (probably around the spare wheel well under the carpet) will be a sticker; it lists the VIN, all the accessories and the engine & gearbox codes. I can't remember for sure but I think the gearbox codes are 3 letters like the engine, your engine is probably a BMN if it's a 170 (have the same in my Golf).
Once you know your gearbox code you can try and find a replacement, as long as the code is the same it will work. Petrol and diesel are definitely different ratios and will confuse the ABS (and cruise control if you have it) as already said.

I don't have the service book, it was in the car when I went to see it but they were to do a service and MOT before I bought it and they were to stamp the book. When I got home after picking it up I couldn't find the service book, phoned and they said they didn't have it so....
I am almost certain it is the diff, as mentioned one wheel up and no noise, other and noise was there. Noise increases with speed but doesn't change with gears, ie no difference between noise at 2000rpm or 4000rpm depending on gear as long as speed is the same.
I think I have seen that label, in fact I think I may even have a pic of it somewhere as I looked to see what the codes meant.
The thing that worries me about a second hand box is the car is not worth that much and I am not really able to fit it myself nowadays, due to aches and pains, so I would need to pay someone to do it. If the second hand box was gubbed I would probably get my money back for the box or even a replacement but I would have lost the cost of removal/fitting/removal and then still have to pay for fitting again.
I always used to buy bangers, get a couple of years out of them and buy another but I decided to spend a bit more on this one and now I regret it
Ah, not seen a newer one. I only drive old snotters
Is that the same for the newer Skoda Superbs?

Had a look at the vw parts catalogue,
The part number for your gearbox should be (I am not an expert at using this!) 02Q300045FX
The last 2 digits (FX) "should" be a revision code and anything with the base part number "should" fit. Or any later revisions ie. FY, FZ, GA and so on.
This box may or may not be fitted to a lot of other cars but restricting the serch to the uk market for your years gives
If you can't find one from a Passat then a toran is pretty common. The Audi A3 also has them fitted in large numbers.
Interestingly I can't find it fitted into any of the skoda models but that might just be because I don't have all the data installed for skoda or seat.
Trying to work out what other boxes might fit is a bit more tricky but these would be a starting point although dont go buying anything based on this!!
If you need any more info I have a mate in vw parts so I can ask him on monday but there is not a lot of technical data available, you might get the o/d of a clutch plate but that's about it. You can't look up the size of the input shaft or anything although you can sometimes find the sizes for a crankshaft bearing and work backwards that way..
