Delivery and Shipping
UK delivery — parts we hold in stock
Ordered before 2pm on a working day, these are dispatched the same day by express courier and normally arrive within 1–2 working days.
Parts supplied from our European supplier
A large part of our range is held by our supplier in Germany rather than on our own shelves. We order these in for you as soon as you place the order. They normally dispatch within 7–10 working days, and are then sent on by express courier like anything else. Nothing ships to you direct from Germany — it comes to our Arlesey workshop first, so you deal only with us for returns and warranty.
Collection from Arlesey
Click and collect is available on parts we physically hold. If an item has to come in from our supplier it cannot be collected, and checkout will tell you so before you pay.
International
3–5 working days once dispatched. Any customs charges or excise duties are the responsibility of the buyer.
*Delivery times are estimates and can be affected by factors outside our control.

What gearbox does this gear fit?
This 5th speed gear is for the VW 085 manual gearbox, used across the Polo, Golf, and Caddy range. The 085 is a longitudinally-mounted 4/5-speed manual unit found in smaller VAG vehicles.
How do I know if my 5th gear needs replacing?
Symptoms of worn 5th gear include popping out of 5th when under load, grinding noise in 5th gear, or difficulty engaging 5th. A gearbox rebuild inspection will reveal the extent of wear on the gear teeth and synchro hubs.
Can I install this gear myself?
Replacing internal gearbox gears requires a full gearbox stripdown. This is a specialist job and we recommend using a qualified gearbox technician to ensure correct assembly and shimming.
Is this an OE or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement gear manufactured to fit the OE 085311361 specification.
What other gearbox parts should I replace at the same time?
When replacing a worn gear, it is good practice to also inspect and replace the matching synchro ring, selector fork, and bearings. Contact us for a complete 085 gearbox rebuild kit.
