If you find the answer let me know, might do it to my HDi.
Also still trying to find out if the BE4 6 speed off the EW10 in the 407 will fit the GTi.

Yes mate. I would have liked to have thought i drove a car as low as mine slow, but looking at the evidence. I didnt 
If its a BE4, it will fit. But i have a suspicion that it is a completely restyled BE to house the 6th gearbox compared the gti6 which is slapped on the end of the fifth
Why not slap a GTi final drive in it and drop it to a 3.98 as i think the diesels are closer to 4.1

Oh dear lol, tell you one thing I do not miss the MA box's at all.
I have had a look at some of the 6 speed box's on ebay and from the pictures they do look quite different even the linkages :/ The syncro for 3rd in mine is on it's way out. Doesn't like being thrown into 3rd at speed much anymore. Have seen somebody mention that the BE3/6 gearset will fit the 4 you got any ideas about that? I don't really want to change the gearing I like it how it is, just would like to have it sat below 3K at 70mph would save me wallet a few £.

Its going to be a case of having the boxes side by side.
As i would be intrested in building BE 6 speeds. As from service box, they list the 6 speed casing under BVM ML6 but no actual complete gearbox. It does look very similar to a BE4, but i cant confirm. Dont worry about linkages as worst case you go for the 180 cable set up

Well I have got a spare GTi 137 box kicking about if you need one to play with. Planning on getting my GTi sorted this year with a fair few things. Clutch is getting a bit iffy in it so the box will have to come off at some point anyway. Would be nice if it could go back on with a 6th gear.
And personally I'd rather keep the rod's so I can get a quick shift on it at some point as well.
