Reconditioned SEAT Altea 1.6 Petrol Gearbox – Reference GVY

The reconditioned gearbox for the SEAT Altea 1.6 petrol, reference GVY, is a reliable solution for replacing a worn 5-speed manual gearbox without having to rely on an uncertain original part. This gearbox is compatible with 1595 cm³ engines bearing engine codes BSE, BGU and BSF as fitted to this model. Reference GVY corresponds precisely to this mechanical configuration.

Signs That Your Gearbox Needs Replacing

  • Stiff or crunching gear changes, particularly on first or second gear
  • Crunching or grinding when selecting reverse
  • Unusual vibrations through the gear lever whilst driving
  • Clutch judder or unexpected gear jumping
  • Persistent metallic noise from the gearbox, more pronounced when cold

The reconditioning of this gearbox follows a rigorous process: complete strip-down of the mechanism, thorough cleaning and inspection of every component, replacement of internal wear parts such as gears, synchros, bearings and seals, followed by reassembly to manufacturer tolerances and bench testing prior to dispatch.

Exchange Basis

This GVY gearbox is sold on an exchange basis, rebuilt to 0 km. The reconditioned unit is dispatched to the garage first, avoiding any vehicle downtime whilst you wait. The old gearbox, with its casing intact, is only collected after delivery and fitting of the new unit. Return of the old unit is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

Warranty and Payment

This reconditioned gearbox for the SEAT Altea 1.6 is covered by a 24-month parts warranty, valid subject to fitting by a qualified professional. Payment for this GVY reference can be spread over several instalments, with up to 10 instalments available.
