Reconditioned Volkswagen Golf 2.8 Gearbox – 5-Speed Manual – Ref. CHN

Reconditioned Volkswagen Golf 2.8 Gearbox – Reference CHN

This reconditioned gearbox is designed for Volkswagen Golf models fitted with the 2.8 petrol engine (engine code AAA, 2792 cm³), and corresponds to reference CHN. The reconditioning process involves fully stripping the gearbox, cleaning and inspecting every component, then replacing internal wear parts such as gears, synchros, bearings and seals, before reassembly to manufacturer tolerances and bench testing. This process ensures the unit performs to original specification before reference CHN is dispatched.

Signs That Your Gearbox Needs Replacing

On a Golf 2.8 fitted with a 5-speed manual gearbox, several warning signs point to a worn unit: stiff or crunching gear changes, gears jumping out whilst driving, clunking in neutral, vibrations through the gear lever, or a metallic noise under acceleration. A slipping clutch combined with these symptoms, or persistent difficulty selecting certain gears, often confirms advanced internal wear — making replacement of the CHN gearbox the right course of action rather than a one-off repair.

Exchange Basis – No Waiting Around

This gearbox, rebuilt to 0 km, is sold on an exchange basis: the reconditioned unit is dispatched straight away, without waiting for the old gearbox to be returned first. The garage is never left without a part, and the vehicle remains available for other work. 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

Reference CHN is compatible with Volkswagen Golf models fitted with the 2.8 petrol engine, engine code AAA. We recommend verifying the exact match with your old gearbox before placing an order, in particular by checking the engine code and the reference CHN marked on the old unit.

Warranty and Payment

This gearbox comes with a 24-month parts warranty, subject to fitting being carried out by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over multiple instalments, 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.
