Code: DQ250 / 02E · 6-speed automatic
The 6-speed wet-clutch DSG (dual-clutch) behind the 2.0 Golf, Tiguan, Jetta and Passat. More durable than the dry 7-speed, but the mechatronic unit is a known service item often quoted separately. Used through to reconditioned spans a wide range — compare quotes from verified suppliers.
Code: 09G / 09M (TF-60SN) · 6-speed automatic
The 09G/09M (Aisin TF-60SN) is a conventional torque-converter automatic — NOT a DSG. Fitted to many older auto Polos, Golfs and Jettas. Simpler and often cheaper to source than a DSG, but make sure your car actually has this box and not a dual-clutch unit before quoting.
Code: 02T / 0A4 / 02Q · 5/6-speed manual
The MQ-series manual transaxles cover the bulk of the manual VW range — the small MQ200 (02T/0A4) on the Polo and Polo Vivo, and the 5/6-speed MQ350 (02Q) on the Golf and Jetta. The cheapest and simplest VW gearbox to source and repair. The Polo Vivo (SA-only) is manual-only — confirm the exact code by VIN.
| Model / Gearbox | Price Range (ZAR) |
|---|---|
| Polo / Golf / Jetta auto — 09G/09M Aisin (NOT DSG) | R4,500 – R17,500 |

A used VW manual starts around R2,500. DSG units run roughly R9,500 – R38,500 (used to reconditioned — the wet DQ250 can reach the top of that band), the heavier DQ500 R18,000 – R45,000, the 09G Aisin auto R4,500 – R17,500, and the Amarok ZF 8-speed R20,000 – R46,000. Prices depend heavily on used vs reconditioned and whether the mechatronic is included. Submit one quote request and compare verified suppliers for your exact model.
The Golf 4 (mk4) automatic is the older 01M four-speed torque-converter automatic — not a DSG and not the later 09G Aisin box, so don't cross-reference them. As an older, simpler four-speed it sits at the affordable end of the VW automatic range, with exact pricing depending on condition and used vs reconditioned. The Golf 4 1.6 and 2.0 autos commonly run this 01M box — confirm the code by VIN, then request a quote to compare verified suppliers on a used or reconditioned unit.
