Reconditioned Engines

Which reconditioned engine is the exact match for my vehicle?

The answer has nothing to do with the engine capacity or the power output shown on the registration document: it comes down to the engine code stamped on the block, which precisely identifies the variant produced for a specific market, model year or emissions standard. A single 2.0 TDI can cover more than fifty different codes — from AZV to DTSB — and a Renault 1.5 dCi lines up more than fifty K9K variants, each one specific to a particular combination of vehicle, power output and model year.

Why the engine code takes precedence over every other criterion

Let's look at a few concrete examples. The 1.6 HDi PSA comes in DV6ATED4, DV6BTED4, DV6C, DV6DTED, DV6ETED or DV6TED4 families depending on the generation and emissions standard — blocks with different internal dimensions and peripheral mountings. The 1.8 TDCi Ford covers codes FFBA, KKDA, KKDB, RWPA, RWPC or RWPD, which do not share the same mechanical characteristics. The same applies to the 1.2 PureTech Stellantis: codes EB2DT, EB2DTS, EB2ADTS or EB2ADTX correspond to distinct stages of development, with cylinder heads and valve train components that are not interchangeable. Searching by engine capacity alone will consistently lead to an ordering error.

The range covers diesel and petrol engines for the main European models — Transit, Golf, A3, Leon, Jumper, Boxer, 308, Focus, C-Max, Kangoo, Scénic, Mégane, Qashqai, Clio, Corsa, Astra, Duster and many more — spanning model years from 1992 to 2026. Each bare engine is available on an exchange basis or as a rebuild of your own unit, depending on available references: two distinct purchasing options suited to different situations (immediate replacement or reconditioning of your original block).

How to navigate this range

Start by filtering by make, then by model and engine to reach the dedicated page. Then locate your engine code — found on a plate or directly on the block, often beneath the cylinder head on the timing side — and check that it matches the reference listed on the product page. The diesel ranges cover families including K9K, DV6, DW10, M9R, F9Q, 2.0 TDI VAG and 2.2 TDCi / HDi / Multijet; the petrol ranges cover, among others, EB2, H4B, H5F, 1.0 EcoBoost, 1.2 TSI and 1.4 TSI. On heavy commercial vehicles (Transit, Jumper, Boxer, Ducato, Master), the 2.2 and 2.3 Multijet or TDCi units come in variants with different torque outputs and emissions treatments, resulting in distinct codes: do not rely solely on the horsepower figure quoted in vehicle sale listings.
