Reconditioned SEAT Leon 1.2 TSI Gearbox

Reliable under moderate use, vulnerable at high revs: the Leon 1.2 TSI 6-speed manual between 2010 and 2018

The 1.2 TSI is well known for timing chain failures, and the 6-speed manual gearbox that accompanies it is not without its own issues: 2nd and 3rd gear synchromesh wearing prematurely, stiff or notchy gear changes, and gear noise when cold. These symptoms often appear before 150,000 km on vehicles used in spirited driving or heavy urban traffic. Three engine codes cover this period: CBZA and CBZB for Leons produced from 2010 to 2014, CYVB for later versions up to 2018. The associated gearbox is a 6-speed manual in all three cases, but the internal references (RKC, RGN, PRL, NBX, MYF, LNY) vary according to the engine code and year of production: precise verification of the code is essential before placing any order.
