Reconditioned Volkswagen Golf 1.6 TDI Gearbox – 5-Speed Manual – Ref. 4T

Reconditioned Volkswagen Golf 1.6 TDI Gearbox – Reference 4T

This reconditioned gearbox for the Volkswagen Golf 1.6 TDI, with an engine capacity of 1598 cm³, is sold under reference 4T and is compatible with engine codes CAYB, CAYC, CLHA and CRKB. Reconditioning follows a rigorous process: the gearbox is fully stripped down, every component is cleaned and inspected, gears, synchros, bearings and seals are replaced, and the unit is then fully reassembled to manufacturer tolerances before undergoing a bench test. This exacting standard ensures a reliable gearbox suited to everyday use.

Signs that your 5-speed manual gearbox needs replacing

On a Golf 1.6 TDI fitted with a 5-speed manual gearbox, certain warning signs are hard to ignore: increasingly stiff gear changes, crunching or resistance in 2nd gear, gears jumping out whilst driving, vibrations through the clutch, or a metallic noise in neutral. These symptoms typically point to advanced internal wear that calls for a full replacement rather than a one-off repair.

Exchange basis: a gearbox rebuilt to 0 km

This gearbox is sold on an exchange basis, rebuilt to 0 km. The reconditioned unit is delivered first, so the garage is never left without a gearbox and any prolonged vehicle downtime is avoided. Your old gearbox – casing and block intact – is only collected after the 4T gearbox has been delivered and fitted. Return of the old unit is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

Compatibility with engine codes CAYB, CAYC, CLHA, CRKB

Reference 4T is compatible with 1.6 TDI engines bearing the engine codes CAYB, CAYC, CLHA and CRKB. We recommend verifying the exact match with your vehicle before placing an order, in particular by checking the reference 4T stamped on your original gearbox.

Parts warranty and payment options

This reconditioned gearbox is covered by a 24-month parts warranty, valid subject to fitting being carried out by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over multiple instalments – pay in up to 10 instalments – to make your purchase more manageable.

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