Reconditioned Audi A3 1.6 TDI Gearbox – Ref. MDZ

This 5-speed manual gearbox, reference MDZ, fitted to the Audi A3 with the 1.6 TDI engine (1598 cm³), is fully reconditioned before being returned to service. The reconditioning process involves complete disassembly, thorough cleaning and in-depth inspection of every component, followed by replacement of internal wear parts such as gears, synchros, bearings and seals, before reassembly to manufacturer tolerances and bench testing.

Signs That Your Gearbox Needs Replacing

On an Audi A3 1.6 TDI fitted with the MDZ reference, several symptoms should raise the alarm: crunching or grinding when changing gear, difficulty engaging a gear or a gear jumping out, unusual vibrations through the gear lever, or an oil leak beneath the vehicle. These signs typically indicate advanced wear of the synchros or internal bearings and require prompt attention to prevent more serious damage.

Exchange Basis: Your Unit Is Dispatched Before Collection

This gearbox is sold on an exchange basis, rebuilt to 0 km: the old unit is not collected before delivery. The reconditioned gearbox is dispatched first so that the garage is never left without a part and the vehicle is not kept off the road unnecessarily. The old gearbox, with its casing intact, is only collected after delivery and fitting of the EDEN BOITES unit; return of the old unit is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

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, in up to 10 instalments.
