I don't know where you got this info, but the VW Fox uses basically the
same trannies as the Audi 4000 4-cylinder cars, the type 013 5-sp and
type 014 4-sp.  The gear ratios are a little different than the 4K, but
mechanically they are the same.  I am not aware of any deficiencies in
the type 013...  There are lots of very high-mileage 4Ks running around
with these with no problems.

I think the problem is that the VW Fox is a cheap car and many owners
treat them as such... and you know what happens with our beloved cars
when they are not properly maintained.
