VW Heritage have then - about £6.
They may be listed as type 2 bus - but use the same 003 core unit.

003 is a 003 - internal gear ratios different for bus - it was also used in Audi FWD in US market.
I bought a 003 sump gasket from heritage and fitted it on my auto squareback - it was listed for bus.
Maybe a mistake but give them a call...

I'm thinking of the axle side of the trans! yes, the auto side will be the same..

Got one from EVWPARTS in the US

genuine part and they have a few other decent genuine T3 stuff.

shipping was a biatch! same cost as the gasket.
