Replacing the Gearbox on your Volkswagen Polo
A functional gearbox is essential because it is the part that transmits power from the engine to the wheels. In the event of a malfunction, the car's performance will be reduced and your safety will also be at stake.

When and why replace the Gearbox on your Polo shirt?
Technically, the life of a gearbox should be the same as that of the car. As a mechanical part, however, it is still vulnerable to wear and tear. For example, the frequency and quality of maintenance, such as the oil change of the Gearbox of the Volkswagen Polo, are decisive parameters. The way you drive your car also influences the service life of this essential component for the performance of your faithful companion. You can therefore avoid malfunctions by driving carefully and requesting regular checks.
It is not impossible that a malfunction may occur despite your precautions. Recognizing the signs that there is a problem with Gearbox on your Volkswagen Polo is therefore fundamental. To do this, pay attention to the behaviour of your vehicle and carry out a few visual inspections. In particular, consider repairing it if you have difficulty shifting gears, both hot and cold. You should also check whether the transmission is resistant when you change gears or if you hear squeaking/crackling. Likewise, a burning smell should keep you alert. This applies just as much to the Gearbox of a polo 4 as it does to the other versions, whether you are using a Gearbox dsg 7 polo shirt or any other type.
In the case of an automatic Gearbox Volkswagen Polo, the concern may be a longer reaction time when you start cold.
The loss of oil from the Gearbox Volkswagen Polo is another warning signal. It can be seen at a standstill, since leaks inevitably leave traces of black fluid on the ground.
In other cases, the car loses responsiveness. Shocks can also occur while driving. It is also possible that the automatic Gearbox of your Polo 1.6 tdi suddenly breaks down. This problem may occur with the Gearbox automatic of a Polo 1.4 petrol and other references. In this case you must keep your hand on the lever while driving.
If you encounter any problems with Gearbox VW Polo, it would be best to have the part checked as soon as possible. Indeed, the symptoms we have just mentioned are not exhaustive but they are the most frequent.
The different Gearboxes of the Volkswagen Polo
Marketed since the 1970s, the Polo is one of the most reliable city cars on the market. The German manufacturer is committed to combining aesthetics, comfort and performance, which has led to numerous modifications.
If Volkswagen is based on a timeless design and a cabin that combines space and functionality, the technical aspects are far from being neglected. So it's only natural that the parts are revised on each edition and the transmission system is no exception to this rule.
Caution, it is imperative that the replacement gearbox is compatible with the vehicle. Please distinguish between a Gearbox for Polo 4 diesel and a Gearbox for Polo 4 petrol etc. This rule applies to all editions of the Polo. In concrete terms, therefore, the reference of the Gearbox of your Volkswagen Polo depends on the precise model of your car. The engine, the fiscal power... different parameters influence the choice of the right part.
For example, it is possible that the Gearbox Polo 1.6 petrol-powered car offers 5 gears while the Gearbox Polo 1.6 tdi has 4 gears for cars built in the same year. Similarly, if you're looking for a Gearbox for a 2002 Polo 1.4 petrol car, it could be a 4-speed automatic or a 5-speed mechanical version. As for the Gearbox for a 2002 Polo 1.9 d 64, it's probably a 5-speed manual.
Your concern may be related to the automatic Gearbox of your Polo shirt. Since 2003, VW has been equipping its vehicles with the DSG, a dual-clutch gearbox with robotic control, and some versions of the Polo benefit from this. This technology is available on petrol and diesel engines, bearing in mind that the Gearbox dsg of a Polo can be fitted with 6 to 7 gears, depending on the year of construction of the vehicle. It systematically guarantees fast, smooth and seamless gear changes. If you own this type of Gearbox for Polo IV or an earlier/exterior version, your driving pleasure is certainly optimal. However, there should be no problems with Gearbox for Polo.
How do I put a Gearbox used Volkswagen Polo?
As explained above, the gearboxes are different. This does not only concern the mode of transmission but the configuration itself. The method of changing the Gearbox on a Polo 1.4 tdi may therefore differ from the technique used to change the Gearbox on a Polo 1.9 sdi. This is the complexity of the operation and is reason enough not to attempt the replacement by yourself.
In addition, it is important to know that several steps are to be expected. The installation of a Gearbox for Polo 1.4 with second-hand petrol, for example, requires dismantling beforehand. Each component must be carefully removed to avoid damaging other mechanical parts. Attention must also be paid to the fasteners so that they are not lost during the replacement process. This applies to other references but the procedure may be subject to variations.
In some cases, an automatic emptying of the Gearbox of your Polo shirt can avoid replacement. However, it is important that a professional take an expert look at the system to be able to confirm this.
Add to this that reprogramming is sometimes necessary to solve a problem on the automatic Gearbox of a Polo shirt. Therefore, specific tools and knowledge are needed to guarantee the performance of the box after it has been changed.
The best solution is to hire a professional. The installation can be carried out by a local craftsman or by your usual garage. If you order the part you need yourself, the professional will be able to devote himself entirely to labour. He or she cannot act as an intermediary or make a profit on the price of the Gearbox of your Polo 4 (or other version). Beyond this economic aspect, you benefit from a guarantee! If a problem occurs during the period covered by this warranty, the garage is responsible for the problem and not you.
What price for the Gearbox of a Polo shirt?
For a Gearbox of Polo the price is difficult to define beforehand.

This is why it is strongly recommended to go through experts.
