Reconditioned Opel Vivaro 1.6 CDTi Gearbox – Reference 20MB46

This reconditioned gearbox for the Opel Vivaro 1.6 CDTi, with an engine capacity of 1598 cm³, is compatible with engine codes R9M408, R9M450 and R9M452, and carries the reference 20MB46. The gearbox transmits power from the 1.6 CDTi engine to the wheels on this light commercial van – a role that typically involves intensive use, accelerating wear on internal components. Reconditioning involves a full strip-down, thorough cleaning and careful inspection of every component, followed by replacement of all internal wear parts including gears, synchros, bearings and seals. The unit is then reassembled to manufacturer tolerances and bench-tested before dispatch.

Signs That Your Gearbox Needs Replacing

On a Vivaro fitted with this 6-speed manual gearbox, several warning signs should not be ignored: stiff or crunching gear changes, a gear jumping out whilst driving, vibrations felt through the gear lever during changes, a dull rumble or whine in neutral, or difficulty engaging reverse. A gear lever that feels vague in neutral, a slipping clutch unrelated to the gearbox itself, or unusual resistance when selecting first gear from cold are further tell-tale signs. These symptoms are common on a heavily used commercial vehicle and indicate advanced internal wear – at which point replacement is the more reliable solution rather than a repair.

Exchange Basis: Immediate Dispatch, Return the Old Unit After Fitting

This 20MB46 gearbox is sold on an exchange basis: it is rebuilt and dispatched without waiting for the old unit to be returned first. The garage or owner receives the reconditioned part and can fit it straight away, with no need to leave the vehicle off the road waiting for a prior return. This means a professional never has to leave a vehicle sitting on the ramp waiting for a part to arrive. 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

This reconditioned gearbox is suitable for Opel Vivaro vehicles fitted with the 1.6 CDTi engine, identified by engine codes R9M408, R9M450 and R9M452.

Warranty and Payment

Reference 20MB46 is covered by a 24-month parts warranty, subject to fitting being carried out by a qualified professional. Payment for this gearbox can be spread over several instalments – pay in up to 10 instalments.

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