10/00 is right around the switchover from H to M.
Do you have old or new badges? The only boxes that are definitely interchangeable are M & T. Others may have issues.

You have an M box unless there was a fluke in manufacturing.
All 10/00s were Ms(new badges). The 09/00s came in both iirc depending on what week they rolled off the assy line. Have yet to see a factory car with the new badges that was not a M or T in 6sp.
VAG it and see what part number comes back on the engine module, or take the cover off the ecu casing in the engine compartment.

Need to get the same box as your car has(factory) to be safe.
There are a few that are interchangeable ie a M box can be used in a T car but you never know if there is some subtle code change that could hurt you down the road.
Find a buddy or tuner with a Vag tool or open the ecu enclosure to read the part number. Its pretty easy to find out for sure. If you're ever in the Carolinas I can link up with you to check it.
