Reconditioned Volkswagen Caddy 1.6 TDI Gearbox – Reference MLU

This reconditioned gearbox for the Volkswagen Caddy 1.6 TDI (1598 cm³), compatible with CAYD and CAYE engines, is supplied under reference MLU. Each unit is fully stripped, cleaned and inspected part by part; any gears, synchros, bearings and seals showing wear are replaced before the gearbox is reassembled to manufacturer tolerances and validated on a test bench to confirm correct operation across every gear.

Signs that your manual gearbox needs replacing

On a Caddy 1.6 TDI, several warning signs point to a gearbox that is past its best: increasingly stiff gear changes – particularly into second or fifth – crunching or grinding when changing gear, unusual vibrations in neutral, a gear jumping out on the motorway, or difficulty finding neutral when stationary. These symptoms indicate internal wear that is best addressed before more serious damage occurs.

  • Stiff or jerky gear changes
  • Crunching when changing gear
  • A gear jumping out whilst driving
  • Abnormal noise in neutral
  • Difficulty engaging first gear from cold

Exchange basis: the fast solution for your Caddy

This gearbox is sold on an exchange basis: the reconditioned unit is dispatched first, so the garage is not left without a vehicle. The old gearbox, with its casing intact, is only collected once the new unit has been delivered and fitted. Return of the old unit is required in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

Compatibility

Reference MLU is suitable for Volkswagen Caddy vehicles fitted with CAYD and CAYE engines, with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Please verify the match with your original reference before ordering.

Warranty and payment

This gearbox, rebuilt to 0 km, comes with a 24-month parts warranty, valid provided fitting is carried out by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over multiple instalments – pay in up to 10 instalments.

EDEN BOITES supports you from quote through to collection of the old unit.
