Reconditioned Volkswagen Polo 1.4 TSI Gearbox

Polo 1.4 TSI CAVE (2010–2014): the DSG 7 has two well-documented faults that explain how frequently it needs replacing

Within this scope, only one engine code is involved — CAVE — paired exclusively with a DSG 7 dry-clutch gearbox (DQ200). This gearbox is known for two widely documented structural weaknesses: juddering and hesitation at low speed caused by the mechatronic unit, and premature wear of the dry clutches resulting in shuddering on pull-away or slipping during manoeuvres. These symptoms typically appear between 80,000 and 150,000 km.

The gearbox offered here is supplied without the mechatronic unit and with a new dual-clutch assembly. If the symptoms point solely to the mechatronic unit, replacing the complete gearbox is not necessarily the right course of action: it is essential to identify the faulty component precisely before placing an order. The available references (PMT, PMP, NTW, NQH, NAY, MPS, MPP, MLL) cover production from 2010 to 2014.

We currently list 8 references reconditioned for this model. Availability depends on the exact engine: enter your number plate to confirm stock in real time, or request an online quote.

How can I be sure it is compatible with my Volkswagen?

Compatibility depends on the engine / gearbox code, not just the model. The most reliable way is your number plate or registration document: our advisers confirm the right gearbox for your vehicle before you order.

Do I need to send back my old unit?

Yes, that is the principle of an exchange unit: you return your old gearbox (the core), which we recondition in turn. We arrange transport both ways, so you don't have to handle any logistics.

Once compatibility is confirmed and depending on the availability of the reference, the part leaves our workshop ready to fit, delivered throughout France and Europe, with payment in instalments available (up to 10 payments).
