For example, loose wheel rattles.

I would never replace a component like a gearbox based on mere suspicion of it having an unclear history.

I would only consider a replacement if the installed part is actually broken; otherwise, I'll base my decision on the price.

I just bought a used gearbox for my daughter's Fox 1.4 TDI yesterday, including the starter motor, for €5.50. What could possibly go wrong?

We don't necessarily need to do that, but it's better to have it than to need it.

Well...

A gearbox for €5.50 is very cheap. But those are two different things. My concern wasn't about the financial cost, but about getting a targeted diagnosis. Because I thought this forum was focused on trying to find solutions. Of course, you can stock up on everything cheaply, that's clear.
