Years ago my g/f had a 1.3 Mk2 Golf and the gearbox on that died. It got really noisy in all gears. She never noticed and it was only when I went to use her car one day that I found out. When I checked it had no oil in it at all! I guess it must have just slowly leaked out over the years and nobody ever checked it.

Sounds like Another famous chocolate box failure, its a common fault on most vag cars think I have changed 6 gearboxes over the last 3 years on different golf and Polos.

if the oil is all silvery then its dead , you can get a treatment to quiet it down a tad , but broke is broke,.

Bouncing speedo is 99% of the time diff bearing but then these boxes are made by cadburys to start with.

You have to split the casing to replace the bearings. It's easy enough to do once the box is off the car. Quicker to get a Polo box and swap it out.

Very common failure on these. Not worth messing about. Just put another box in it. Changing bearings will end up more costly. Trust me, it's inconveinant when the gearbox seizes at 70mph and you spend several hours at the side of the road attempting to remove the driveshafts so you can tow it home!
