No two gearboxs are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
The T-Roc runs from 2017 onwards, with a facelift arriving for the 2022 model year, so a 2019 unit and a 2022 unit sit either side of that facelift boundary. Fitment is driven primarily by engine code rather than year, so if both cars share the same engine code and gearbox type (manual or automatic) the mechanical unit may well interchange, but mounting points and ancillary connections can change across a facelift revision. Supply your registration and engine code to the breaker and ask them to confirm compatibility against your specific car before buying.
The engine code matters above everything else — the T-Roc was sold with a range of petrol and diesel engines across identical model years, and the gearbox is matched to the engine, not the badge or the year. You'll find the engine code on your V5 logbook or via a VIN check, and it's the single most useful piece of information you can give a breaker. Year alone is not sufficient and could result in you buying a unit that won't bolt up correctly.
Trim level does not affect gearbox fitment on the T-Roc — SE, SE Technology, R-Line, R-Line Edition and other trim grades are cosmetic and equipment-based distinctions, not mechanical ones. What matters is that both vehicles share the same engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type (manual or DSG automatic). Expect cosmetic differences between stripped donor cars from different trim levels, but the gearbox unit itself is unaffected by trim.
The mechanical fitment of a DSG unit from a matching engine-code donor is one question, but whether the replacement gearbox requires ECU pairing or immobiliser coding to your specific vehicle is something you must confirm with the breaker and your fitting garage before purchase. This varies by build date and specification and isn't something we can state as fact here. A good breaker will be able to advise on what programming work is typically needed for the unit they're selling.
The T-Roc launched in the UK for the 2018 model year and all pre-facelift cars run through to the 2021 model year before the 2022 facelift, so a 2018 and a 2021 car sit within the same generation. If the engine codes and gearbox types match, there is a reasonable basis for compatibility, but whether ancillary connections and mountings are identical across that production span is something to confirm with the breaker against your registration. Never assume fitment without that check.
Yes — petrol and diesel T-Roc variants use different gearboxes, so you must match fuel type as well as engine code when sourcing a used unit. Even where two engines share a similar displacement, a gearbox from a petrol donor will not be the correct unit for a diesel car. Always give the breaker your full engine code alongside your registration so they can pull the right unit from their stock.
