Reconditioned Volkswagen Golf 1.6 TDI Gearbox – Reference RTD

This reconditioned gearbox for the Volkswagen Golf 1.6 TDI, reference RTD, is a 5-speed manual unit designed for CAYB, CAYC, CLHA and CRKB engines with a 1598 cm³ capacity. Every gearbox bearing the reference RTD goes through the same process: full strip-down, thorough cleaning and inspection of every component, replacement of gears, synchros, bearings and seals, then reassembly to manufacturer tolerances before a bench test.

Signs That Your Gearbox Needs Replacing

On a Golf 1.6 TDI, several warning signs point to wear in the manual gearbox: stiff or crunching gear changes, clunking on downshifts, vibration under acceleration, a dull noise in neutral, oil leaking from the casing, or a gear jumping out whilst driving. These symptoms most often indicate advanced internal wear and call for a full replacement rather than a one-off repair.

Exchange Basis – No Waiting Around

This gearbox is sold on an exchange basis, rebuilt to 0 km. The reconditioned gearbox reference RTD is dispatched and fitted before the old unit is collected: the garage is never left without a gearbox and the vehicle is not off the road waiting. The old gearbox, with its casing intact, is only collected after the reconditioned unit has been delivered and fitted. Return of the old unit is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

Compatibility

Reference RTD is compatible with 1.6 TDI engines in the Volkswagen Golf fitted with engine codes CAYB, CAYC, CLHA and CRKB, with an engine capacity of 1598 cm³.

Warranty and Payment

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

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