Reconditioned Volkswagen Passat 1.6 TDI Gearbox – Reference MDM

This reconditioned 5-speed manual gearbox fits Volkswagen Passat models powered by the 1.6 TDI engine (1598 cm³), compatible with engine codes CAYC, CXXB and DFGA; it carries the reference MDM. Reconditioning involves a full strip-down of the gearbox, followed by thorough cleaning and inspection of every component, replacement of internal wear parts such as gears, synchros, bearings and seals, then reassembly to manufacturer tolerances and bench testing.

Signs that your gearbox needs replacing

  • Stiff or crunching gear changes, particularly between second and third
  • Knocking or metallic noises when the clutch is released
  • Gears jumping out or refusing to engage on the Passat
  • Unusual vibrations felt through the clutch pedal
  • Visible gearbox oil leak beneath the vehicle

Exchange basis: gearbox rebuilt to 0 km

This gearbox is sold on an exchange basis: it is rebuilt to 0 km and dispatched before the old unit is collected. The garage therefore receives the reconditioned gearbox first, avoiding any unnecessary downtime while waiting for the old unit to be returned. Once the MDM gearbox has been fitted to the Passat, the old gearbox – with its casing intact – must be returned; return of the old unit is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

Compatibility

Reference MDM is suitable for Volkswagen Passat models fitted with the 1.6 TDI engine and engine codes CAYC, CXXB or DFGA.

Warranty and payment

This reconditioned gearbox is covered by a 24-month parts warranty, subject to fitting by a qualified professional. Payment for this MDM gearbox 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.
