Reconditioned Volkswagen Golf 1.8 Petrol Gearbox – Reference 2A

This reconditioned 5-speed manual gearbox is available for the Volkswagen Golf 1.8 Petrol, fitted with the AGN or AGU engines, with an engine capacity of 1781 cm³. The reference 2A identifies this specific unit precisely, and the rebuild is carried out using the gearbox you send us. Paired with the AGN and AGU engines, this unit is subjected to considerable stress during repeated gear changes in urban driving, which can accelerate internal wear of the gears and synchros.

Signs That Your Gearbox Needs Replacing

On a Golf 1.8 fitted with this 5-speed manual gearbox, several signs point to advanced internal wear:

  • Gear changes that have become stiff or are accompanied by crunching noises
  • A gear jumping out spontaneously, particularly third or fourth
  • Grinding or whining noises in neutral or under load
  • Abnormal vibrations felt through the gear lever or clutch
  • Gearbox oil leak spotted beneath the vehicle

Your Unit Rebuilt and Ready to Fit

With this service, you send us your own 2A-referenced gearbox; it is neither exchanged nor replaced with another unit. The casing is fully stripped, cleaned and inspected point by point. Worn gears, synchros, bearings and seals are then replaced according to the condition found during inspection. The gearbox is reassembled to manufacturer tolerances and bench-tested before being returned to you, ready to be fitted to your Golf 1.8. This approach lets you keep your original unit, with the configuration specific to your vehicle, rather than replacing it with an unknown unit.

Compatibility

Reference 2A applies to Volkswagen Golf 1.8 Petrol models fitted with the AGN and AGU engines, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. It corresponds to the original unit fitted to these engine variants.

Warranty and Payment

The rebuilt 2A gearbox comes with a 24-month parts warranty, subject to fitting being carried out by a qualified professional. This warranty covers the internal mechanical components restored during the rebuild. Payment for this service can be spread over several instalments, in up to 10 instalments.

EDEN BOITES supports you from quote through to the return of your rebuilt unit.
