2011 6R 1.2 TDI - noisy gearbox

[louisb1]

Had my clutch and gearbox oil changed by a mobile mechanic, then 1 month later I took it to another garage for a separate issue, and they noticed I had a ‘noisy gearbox’ in 1-3 gears

Given the timing of the job and this problem, I rung up the original mechanic and was told my gearbox was already on its way out.

This is the first time I had my gearbox oil changed in 150,000 miles so I can see that I suppose, just funny coincidence with the clutch job.

so, my options are buy another car or get a gearbox put in - anyone had experience with this and cost estimates? guessing i can buy off ebay and get someone to put it in?

thanks
