Reconditioned Engines

Which reconditioned engine is the exact match for my vehicle?

The answer comes down to two criteria: the engine code stamped on the block and the year of first registration — not just the engine capacity shown on the logbook. A single commercial designation — 2.0 TDI, 2.0 HDi, 2.0 dCi — can cover several distinct blocks depending on the vehicle's generation, and engine codes such as CFCA, DW10FUD_AHN or M9T_710 are not interchangeable, even where the capacity is identical.

A vast range: vans, saloons, MPVs and hatchbacks

The catalogue spans vehicles as varied as the Ford Transit (codes 224DT, 244DT, P22DTE_4HU, P22DTE_4HV), the Volkswagen Golf and the Peugeot 308, as well as heavier commercial vehicles such as the Renault Master (M9T_710), the Fiat Boxer (DW12RUD / 4HB, DW12RUE / 4HK) and the Citroën Jumper. Diesel engines dominate — 1.5 dCi, 1.6 HDi, 1.7 CDTi, 2.2 TDCi, 2.3 dCi, 2.2 HDi — but petrol is well represented too, with the 1.2 TSI (XXGA), 1.2 PureTech (EB2F), 1.4 TSI, 2.0 TSI and 2.0 TSI (CJXC). Model years run from 1988 to 2026, meaning that several generations of the same model are available at the same time.

The most common mistake: confusing engine capacity with block reference

A Seat Leon 2.0 TDI and a Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDI may share the same engine capacity yet use blocks from different families depending on the year of manufacture — the engine code resolves the ambiguity where the spec sheet falls short. The same logic applies to PSA diesels: the 2.0 HDi covers the DW10 and DW12 families, which share no internal components whatsoever. Locating the engine code on the block (typically stamped on a machined flat at the top of the crankcase) before placing an order prevents any misidentification. Every bare engine offered on an exchange basis or for rebuild of your own unit is referenced by this code, not by engine capacity alone.

Bare engine: exactly what this term covers

All reconditioned engines in this catalogue are sold as bare units: the block, cylinder head and reconditioned internal components, without ancillaries (turbo, injection system, alternator, starter motor, auxiliary belt). This definition is consistent regardless of make or engine type. Two purchasing options are available depending on the reference: the standard exchange, and a rebuild of your own unit — where your block is reconditioned and returned to you. Both options are not available on every reference; the product page will indicate which applies.
