Reconditioned Volkswagen Polo 1.6 TDI Gearbox – Reference RZU

This reconditioned gearbox for the Volkswagen Polo 1.6 TDI is supplied under reference RZU, compatible with CAYB and CAYC engines with an engine capacity of 1598 cm³; it corresponds to the 5-speed manual version fitted to this model. The reconditioning process includes a full strip-down of the mechanism, thorough cleaning and inspection of every component, replacement of worn gears, synchros, bearings and seals, followed by reassembly to manufacturer tolerances and a bench test before dispatch under reference RZU.

Signs That Your Gearbox Needs Replacing

On a Polo 1.6 TDI, several warning signs can appear before the gearbox fails completely:

  • Increasingly stiff gear changes, particularly when starting from cold;
  • Crunching or grinding in first gear or reverse;
  • A gear jumping out or refusing to stay engaged;
  • Unusual vibrations felt through the gear lever;
  • A dull rumble or whine that intensifies with vehicle speed.

Exchange Basis – No Vehicle Downtime

This RZU gearbox is sold on an exchange basis: the reconditioned unit is dispatched to the garage first, avoiding any unnecessary downtime while you wait. The old gearbox, with its casing intact, is only collected once the reconditioned unit has been delivered and fitted. Return of the old unit is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

Compatibility

Reference RZU is suitable for Volkswagen Polo models fitted with 1.6 TDI engines coded CAYB or CAYC, with an engine capacity of 1598 cm³, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Warranty and Payment

This reconditioned gearbox comes with a 24-month parts warranty, subject to fitting by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over multiple instalments – pay in up to 10 instalments.

EDEN BOITES supports you every step of the way, from your initial quote through to collection of the old unit.
