At 108,000 miles our Fabia 1.9 diesel started crunching when changing from 1st to 2nd and I assumed the worst.... New synchro at the very least. We've had it for 15 years, it's had 2 learners try to kill it and one even tried to engage 1st gear at 40mph so I assumed it was toast! Not so. I was told by a local garage that these gearboxes hardly ever fail so they changed the oil for modern synthetic and bingo. It's as if it has a replacement gearbox now! Might be worth trying if anyone out there has this problem.....
