Reconditioned Volkswagen Golf 1.6 TDI Gearbox (MDZ)

This reconditioned gearbox is designed for the Volkswagen Golf fitted with the 1.6 TDI engine (1598 cm³), compatible with engine codes CAYB, CAYC, CLHA and CRKB, reference MDZ. Every 5-speed manual gearbox is fully stripped, cleaned and inspected in detail; gears, synchros, bearings and seals showing wear are systematically replaced, before the unit is reassembled to manufacturer tolerances and bench-tested prior to dispatch. The MDZ reference guarantees an exact match with the original gearbox fitted to your Golf.

Signs That Your Gearbox Needs Replacing

On a Golf 1.6 TDI, a worn manual gearbox typically makes itself known through several tell-tale symptoms:

  • Stiff or resistant gear changes, particularly on the lower ratios
  • Crunching or grinding when engaging second or third gear
  • Abnormal vibrations felt through the gear lever
  • Clutch judder accompanied by jerking under acceleration
  • Gearbox oil leak visible beneath the vehicle

Exchange Basis – No Waiting Around

This gearbox is rebuilt to 0 km and delivered before your old unit is collected. Your garage is never left without a vehicle: the reconditioned gearbox is dispatched first, and the old gearbox – casing intact – is only collected after delivery and fitting. Return of the old unit is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

Compatibility

This gearbox, reference MDZ, is suitable for Volkswagen Golf models fitted with the 1.6 TDI engine, engine codes CAYB, CAYC, CLHA and CRKB.

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 – pay in up to 10 instalments.

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