Reconditioned Engines

Which reconditioned engine is the exact match for my vehicle and its engine code?

The answer comes down to two points: the model alone is not enough, and the engine code stamped on the block is the only reliable identifier. A Golf 2.0 TDI can carry a CFCA, a CJXC or another code depending on the year and power output, and these blocks are not interchangeable. The collection covers more than 1500 reconditioned bare engines on an exchange basis, from diesel to petrol, on vehicles produced between 1988 and 2026.

Vans and working vehicles: the most represented families

Vans account for a large share of the catalogue: Transit, Boxer, Master, Vivaro, Trafic, Movano, Transporter, Expert and Ducato concentrate recurring engine variants such as the 2.2 TDCi, the 2.3 dCi and the 2.2 HDi, with codes such as 224DT, M9T_710, M9T706 and P22DTE_4HV. Within these families, the year of first registration and the emissions standard (Euro 5 or Euro 6) often result in a different engine code at the same power output: a 2017 Vivaro 2.0 dCi and a 2020 model do not share the same block.

Passenger cars: diesel and petrol — engine codes not to mix up

On the passenger car side, diesel engines dominate with the 1.5 dCi, the 2.0 TDI, the 1.6 HDi and the 1.9 dCi across models such as the Mégane, Scénic, Laguna, Octavia and Qashqai. Petrol blocks are growing in volume with the 1.2 TSI (BLFB, BKFB), the 1.4 TSI, the 2.0 TSI and the 1.2 PureTech — the latter, fitted to the 308, 3008, 5008 and Clio among others, is well known for timing chain issues on early production runs. Rebuilding your own unit is available as an alternative to the standard exchange: useful if your engine code is rare or if the block has been modified from factory. In all cases, the engine is supplied as a bare unit: the turbo, alternator, starter motor and other ancillaries are not included and must be refitted from your old engine or replaced separately.
