SEAT gearbox repair — Transmisijas.lv

SEAT cars, as part of the Volkswagen Group, widely use DSG dual-clutch gearboxes, as well as Aisin classic automatic gearboxes in some models.

What gearboxes are used in SEAT cars?

DSG 7-speed (DQ200) – dry clutch, Ibiza, Arona, Leon, Toledo.
Aisin AT6/AT8 – in some diesel or 4×4 versions.

How is the repair going?

Diagnostics – error codes, pressure, mechatronics and clutch testing.
Disassembly and troubleshooting – clutch kit, mechatronics module, gears.
Clutch replacement (DSG) – required when worn (~100,000–150,000 km).
