- Thread starter dabow

ERR, FML, and FZQ boxes have all been in the Leon.
Gear ratios are below:
ERR 1.8 ltre Golf/Jetta 98-99 + Leon Cupra R 1)3.42 2)2.11 3)1.48 4)1.15 5)1.17 6)0.97 FD1)3.88 FD2)3.1
FML 1.8 litre Golf/210 & 225 Leon Cupra Rs 1)3.36 2)2.09 3)1.47 4)1.15 5)1.19 6)0.98 FD1)4.18 FD2)3.09
FZQ 1.8 ltre Golf/ Mk1 Leon Cupra 1)3.36 2)2.09 3)1.47 4)1.15 5)1.19 6)0.98 FD1)3.94 FD2)3.09
The FD1 is the final drive for 1-4, FD2 is for 5&6.
Not sure if there are any other differences internally (like bearings etc) - the ERR box has the longest FD for 1-4 while the FML has the shortest. All three FD for 5&6 are as near as the same.

I wouldn't take the LCR model details in there as absolute, information on the exact model is a bit hazy

Hi
Just changed my g/box from FML to ERR, to be honest, can't really notice any difference between the two, so FZQ would be fine.

well after seeing if i can get a replacment hose, the read out states my car is a 2002 model
but came with a fml box?
so someone fitted the err box to it.
on a plus side, i went to pick the fzq box, to find its from a 2003 cupra r, theres acouple of differnt bits including the drain plugs. so now need to find a socket for it.
looks like a splin bit, but will have a hole in it?
ebay job i think
but told this box is stonger than the err ones.
so i think i did pretty well to pick it up for 206 quid
thanks for all the info guys, if i can get this water hose. the car will be back up & running soon
