Hello, im writing this because the manual  transmission on my 2014 1.2 TSI yeti stopped working, the service center opened it up and found a lot of damaged, and the parts in the transmission were not original ? ( And some aluminum parts were found too )I mean, noone ever opened my transmission, and now i need to replace it, spending 6500 euros-ish ( 5500 for the new transmission and 1000 of work time ) AND possibly even more due to the clutch being burned, the car has 140k km and is 10 years old, i dont think it is normal, now my question is, is it really worth spending this kind of money on a yeti this old or is It better trading it in for a 1 year old montecarlo kamiq with a 1.0 TSI 7-DSG?costing around 20k? It has 22k km ( That the service center and dealer have on their lot? )

Based on your report, I'd say "neither".

So what do you suggest? ( I really dont know what car Is "Better" and what is "worse" ( im in italy btw )

Is the yeti worth being repaired or not, i mean, its a good car

It may just make economic sense to obtain a used transmission from a car breaker and have it fitted by an independent garage that do not charge top labour rates. Nobody buys a brand new transmission for a 10 year old car unless an insurance company is paying.

the service center proposed a regenerated transmission for about 5200, i mean i dont trust generic mechanics as some of them took away some parts ( 1 time they stole all the tools in the trunk and the second time they stole the motor oil check rod

UPDATE: The service center mounted everything back, we are gonna bring it to a TRUSTED ( ypu, trusted ) generic mechanic ( will replace the transmission for under 2200€-ish ) Problems solved i think,
