Reconditioned Audi A1 1.6 TDI Gearbox – Reference RSY

This reconditioned gearbox is designed for Audi A1 models fitted with the 1.6 TDI engine (1598 cm³), associated with engine codes CAYB and CAYC. Sold under reference RSY, it is a direct replacement for the original 5-speed manual gearbox, restoring smooth, precise gear changes without the need to replace the vehicle entirely. It is aimed at Audi A1 1.6 TDI owners dealing with a worn gearbox after heavy use in town or on the motorway.

Signs That Your Gearbox Needs Replacing

On an Audi A1 1.6 TDI, several warning signs point to wear in the 5-speed manual gearbox:

• Gears crunching or difficult to engage, particularly second and third
• Gear lever becoming stiff, spongy or vague in its movement
• Grinding or whining noise noticeable in neutral or under acceleration
• Unusual vibrations felt through the gear lever or through the floor of the vehicle
• Gearbox oil leak visible beneath the casing or oil traces on the ground
• Gear changes becoming increasingly stiff, especially when cold

Gearbox Reconditioning

Every RSY gearbox is fully stripped, cleaned and inspected component by component. Gears, synchros, bearings and seals showing signs of wear are systematically replaced based on the condition found during disassembly. The gearbox is then reassembled to manufacturer tolerances and bench-tested to verify that all gears function correctly before dispatch.

Exchange Basis: Immediate Delivery, Return of Old Unit Later
