Be carefull here. B6 top shaft is 1mm wider than .1 top shaft, which means that it is .5mm wider each side. That results in a tighter mesh and you could find a hard spot. Same thing if you set a tight mesh between pinion and spur gear. I don't know what would be better, let it go as is with the hard spot or sand the plastic iddler gear and see what happens. Same tooth count but maybe smaller tooth

The way it was explained on the FB post (where you grabbed those pics)...is that the pitch is slightly different between the old and new top shafts. It would have probably been more cost effective if you would have just sold your old car and put the money toward the new one.

take the b6 -270€ and update it, - maximum of 120€ = -390. Quite similar and then update other parts if broken.
minimun differente of 50€, should be like 100€ differente.

As mentioned before, several of us have already done the assembly. There are no issues with the mesh of the gears. The width we're referring to is the difference in bearing seat width between the two. The older top-shaft is 1mm narrower, and it should be shimmed to center the gear and prevent side loading of the bearings.
Also, what is the blue stuff between the mic and the gear in the 2nd photo?

I were refering to the top shaft gear width, not the bearing to bearing width.

Do you mean gear "diameter"? That is what is illustrated in the photos with the micrometer.
