Mk6 to mk7 dash conversion gear turret

[magical]

Hi I'm about to start my conversion of my van from mk6 to mk7 full front end and dash got all parts apart from turret I've got a 2004 2.0l swb 5 speed but the only turrets I can find are 2.2l 5 speed will this fit thanks in advance to any replies

Punto443 is the man for this He's done a good conversion on his

Hopefully he's online soon as could do with the help on the turret as the bloke who's selling it said any mk7 turret won't fit mk6 but reading on here loads have done it so just need a bit more info before I throw me money away lol

[Punto443]

Yep mk7 5sp fwd selector will fit the mk6 box. it did on mine and loads of others! Dash conversions no a hard/bad job. You can get it so its drivable in about 3 hours. The little bits take a bit of time, but worth spending a bit of time to get right!

Does it not matter that its from a 2.2 cheers for reply

[Punto443]

Nah, it fits!

[magical]

Yeah that's what I wanted to hear thanks I just ordered it will keep you's updated when it arrives and when I start to tackle job

yeah as punto says its the same, did mine ages ago no problems at all, just fiddly make the speedo fit had to cut the dash plastic to get mine to fit.

just bought a 2004 rwdmotorhome and thinking of changing this to mk7 dash but does anyone no if the cables and turret are needed, i think the cables will be longer but i dont no if you have to change the turret/selector onthe rwd box, anyone???

The metal bracket on gearbox that holds gear cables is it different on the mk7 to the Mk6 fwd as just fitted dash and was about to tackle gears ive changed turret over but cables don't line up it looks like the mk6 bracket needs to set back about 1 inch or so

[Punto443]

Never had a problem on mine, other than they were a bit tight to go in.

Is there a way I can identify cables ie fwd rwd 5 or 6 speed as I might have been sent wrong cables
