Urgent! Gearbox casing - leon 20vt mk1

[Daniel Deeb]

Hello guys. Hope my message finds you well.

I had a problem with my Seat Leon's MK1 20VT FZQ 6-speed gearbox (grinding noise) and i took it for a check. The mechanic told me that the gearbox casing was destroyed (seems to be a common fault).
The dealership says they can sell me a reconditioned gearbox for 3000 euros (2 years warranty) + giving mine to them
So, does anyone know where i can buy an FZQ gearbox casing?
Keep in mind i live in Cyprus, so i need a seller who ships to EU.

Thank you

I replaced mine recently.. went through my mechanic, they had it on backorder from german - new £450

Do you have any contact info?
450 (700-800 euros) is a very reasonable price, 3000 euros is not...

Went through a place called stealth racing in southam.. google them for contact infor.. must stress that was just the cost of the casing. Still had to pay for bearing ect ect and labour and the casing was a 2 weeks backorde

Found a couple of FZQ gearboxes online, however ordering one is a big risk.

Try these maybe? Has 100% feedback so must be doing something right.

Thanks a lot guys. I really appreciate your help.
I also got a quaote from 24/7 Spares and found a company in Germany that sells reconditioned/rebuilt gearboxes. I will keep you informed.

Still no news . Finding a better offer than dealership's is very hard.

How much are dealers quoting?

 

[Daniel Deeb]

3000 euros (2 years warranty) + giving mine to them

Wow £2500!

Used ones' price is around 1000 euros.
For remanufactured ones, none of the sellers i communicated with does not ship to Cyprus, and if they ship it costs around 600 euros, an amount that must be paid twice since all require sending mine to them for rebuilding and reselling.
