Gearbox code from the registration number?

Unread post by Ady2021 »

Hi all

The gearbox input shaft bearing has gone on our 207 (1.4 8V 2008) and it is certainly making its presence known!

My first choice would be to get a 2nd hand gearbox but I need the gearbox code. In some other posts I have read that there used to be a way of finding this our from the registration number. Does anyone still have the ability to do that?

My second choice is to rebuild the gearbox but I would ideally like to order the bearing beforehand if anyone has any idea what size it typically is?

Thanks

We can help if you need an original genuine part number, part diagram or vehicle factory build sheet and can't already find the info you need on the Forum. For this service, we do ask for a membership upgrade for official parts data as we are in turn charged for this. It will cover you for future part number requests for up to 3 years (pending continued service availability), so excellent value.

If interested, links are below, then provide your vehicle's VIN in full, which will be masked automatically when you submit your post.
