Reconditioned Volkswagen Golf 1.6 Petrol Gearbox – Reference GMW

This reconditioned gearbox for the Volkswagen Golf 1.6 petrol is listed under reference GMW and is compatible with engines BSE, BSF, BGU and CMXA, with an engine capacity of 1595 cm³. This type of manual gearbox is fitted to a large number of Golf 1.6 petrol models, and choosing a reconditioned unit means you can restore smooth, precise gear changes without waiting for a new part to be manufactured – increasingly hard to come by on this model. The reconditioning process involves fully stripping the gearbox, cleaning and inspecting every component, then replacing all wear parts – including gears, synchros, bearings and seals – before reassembling everything to manufacturer tolerances and bench-testing the unit prior to dispatch.

Signs That Your 6-Speed Manual Gearbox Needs Replacing

On a Golf 1.6 fitted with this 6-speed manual gearbox, the following warning signs should not be ignored:

  • Stiff or notchy gear changes, particularly when cold
  • Crunching or grinding noises when changing gear
  • Gear jumping out whilst driving, especially third or fourth
  • Unusual vibrations felt through the gear lever
  • Difficulty engaging reverse
  • A dull rumble or whining noise from the transmission
  • Neutral becoming increasingly difficult to find
  • Visible oil leak from the gearbox casing

Exchange Basis: Your Vehicle Is Never Off the Road

This gearbox is sold on an exchange basis: the reconditioned unit is dispatched first, before your old unit is collected. Your used gearbox – casing intact – is only collected after the new gearbox has been delivered and fitted, ensuring the vehicle is never left off the road and the axle is never left waiting on a return. This arrangement allows you to schedule the work without being dependent on the return lead time of the old unit. Return of the old unit is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

Compatibility

This reconditioned gearbox, reference GMW, is suitable for Volkswagen Golf 1.6 petrol models fitted with engines BSE, BSF, BGU and CMXA, with an engine capacity of 1595 cm³. Before ordering, please verify that your OEM reference matches reference GMW to ensure a perfect fit.

Warranty and Payment

This gearbox comes with a 24-month parts warranty, subject to fitting by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread across multiple instalments, with up to 10 instalments available.

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