Reconditioned SEAT Altea 1.6 TDI Gearbox – 5-Speed Manual – Ref. LHW

Reconditioned gearbox for the SEAT Altea 1.6 TDI, reference LHW

This reconditioned gearbox is designed for SEAT Altea models fitted with the 1.6 TDI engine, engine code CAYC, with an engine capacity of 1598 cm³, and corresponds to reference LHW. The reconditioning process involves a full strip-down, thorough cleaning and inspection of every component; internal wear parts such as gears, synchros, bearings and seals are replaced, and the unit is then reassembled to manufacturer tolerances before undergoing a bench test.

Signs that your manual gearbox needs replacing

On an Altea 1.6 TDI, several warning signs point to gearbox wear: increasingly stiff gear changes, a crunching noise when changing down, difficulty finding neutral, unusual vibrations while driving, or a visible oil leak beneath the casing. A persistent metallic hum under acceleration or a jolt when engaging a gear are also indicators that warrant a prompt inspection.

The old gearbox — casing or block intact — is only collected after delivery and installation of the new unit; return of the old unit is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
