Reconditioned Volkswagen Polo 1.6 Gearbox

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

5 reconditioned references on an exchange basis, from €649 to €1055 — up to 24 months' warranty, delivery across France & Europe.

On the Polo 1.6 petrol from 1994 to 2001, the 5-speed manual gearbox is the only option — but four engine codes mean it is not always the same unit

No automatic, no automated manual gearbox in this range: the 1.6 petrol Polo of the Mk III and Mk III facelift generations is fitted exclusively with a 5-speed manual transmission. The manual/automatic question simply does not arise here. What determines the exact part is the engine code: AEE, AFT, AUR and ARC all appear across this 1994–2001 period, and they do not all share the same gearbox. References FFW, LVA, JHL, HXL or DKE correspond to specific pairings depending on that code.

Before any identification, locating the engine code stamped on the block is essential — engine capacity and year alone are not enough to tell AEE from ARC, two units that can appear on close model years without sharing the same gearbox.
