Getriebe Unterfahrschutz / Transmission Cover Passat 3BG

[alfanikos]

Gentlemen and Ladies

Sorry for writing in English, but my written German are not so good as my English!

The car is a Passat 1.8T (2001) 3BG with manual gearbox.

I intend to install a rear sound deadener/gearbox undercover (Unterfahrschutz) same as the one existing in the diesel model.

I could find 4 options for this part.

1. 8DO 863822 (TDI 4 CYL MANUAL GEARBOX)
2. 4BO 863 822G (TDI 4 CYL AUTO GEARBOX)
3. 4BO 863 822N (V6 6 CYL MANUAL GEARBOX)
4. 4BO 863 822N (V6 6 CYL AUTO GEARBOX)

The difference is that some covers from all above do have a rectangular opening somewhere in the middle to accommodate the transmission.

Here are the questions:

1. Has anyone fitted such a cover? How difficult is to install it?
2. Which is the correct part number I have to use (without opening/cut out)? I do have a 5G manual gerabox
3. Which of the above covers do not have an opening? I suspect the item no 1 but can someone confirm it by just looking under his car?

Thanks in advance.

My undercover is closed and I have a TDI with manual gearbox.
