Reconditioned Volvo V40 Gearbox

Diesel or petrol, one gearbox architecture — but references that vary by engine code

On the V40 from 2012 to 2015, the three engine variants listed — the 1.6 D2, the 1.6 T3 and the 2.0 T4 — all come with a 6-speed manual gearbox. There is no automatic, no dual-clutch and no automated manual option here: the choice is not about transmission type, but about finding the exact match for your engine code. Diesel and petrol units do not share the same gearboxes, and within the 1.6 D2 alone (code D4162T), seven distinct references are listed in this collection — which shows just how much the year and configuration of the vehicle can affect the part.

What sets the three engine variants apart on the gearbox side

The 1.6 D2 (D4162T) accounts for the bulk of the catalogue with seven references: it is the most common engine on this model, and the one with the greatest number of gearbox variants. The 1.6 T3 (B4164T3) and the 2.0 T4 (B4204T Drive-E, e.g. B4204T47) each have one reference. These petrol units from the Drive-E family share no gearboxes with the diesel: internal dimensions, gear ratios and mountings all differ. Identifying the correct engine code stamped on the block — not just the engine capacity — is therefore the essential first step before placing any order.

Two service options available

The gearboxes in this collection are available on an exchange basis or as a rebuild of your own unit. The second option involves sending us your original gearbox to be reconditioned and returned to you: this can be the right choice when the part has a reference that is difficult to source, or a configuration specific to your vehicle.
