Seat Cordoba gearbox slippage

My 2002 Seat Cordoba diesel, mileage 50675 km, exhibits gearbox slippage. Suspect defective gears in the transfer case are causing oil wear. Any experience with this?

I had similar gearbox slippage issues with my Cordoba. Have you checked for any visible oil leakage around the transfer case? Oil wear can accelerate problems. Also, has the oil been changed recently? If the oil change interval has been stretched too long it could also be mechanical wear.

Oil change history is complete, but the oil wear issue persists. You mentioned similar slippage. Was the transfer case the culprit in your situation?

Confirmed, transfer case was the issue. Exact same symptoms, oil leakage due to mechanical wear. I suggest getting it checked at a workshop. The cost will be similar if it's the transfer case.

Appreciate the insight. Diagnosis confirmed mechanical wear in the transfer case, leading to oil wear and leakage. Repair cost 330€. Resolved.
