Reconditioned Audi A3 1.6 TDI DBKA Engine

This reconditioned engine for the Audi A3 1.6 TDI, engine code DBKA, with a capacity of 1598 cm³, is available under reference DBKA as a reliable alternative to a costly new unit. The reconditioning process involves a full strip-down, thorough cleaning and inspection of every component, followed by replacement of internal wear parts as required by their condition; the exact details of parts replaced are specified on the quote. The engine is then reassembled to manufacturer tolerances and bench-tested before dispatch, ensuring performance in line with manufacturer requirements.

Signs that your engine needs replacing

  • Black or blue smoke from the exhaust under acceleration
  • Noticeable loss of power on the road or on hills
  • Engine warning light coming on repeatedly
  • Unusual metallic noise at idle or when cold
  • Abnormal oil or coolant consumption

Exchange basis: delivery before return of the old unit

This engine is sold on an exchange basis: it is supplied as a bare engine, with the exact details of what is included with reference DBKA specified on the quote. The old unit is not collected before delivery; the reconditioned engine is dispatched first so that the garage is never left without a part and the vehicle is not kept off the road. The old unit — sump or intact block — is only collected after delivery and fitting of the reconditioned engine, and its return is required in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

A deposit is required at the time of ordering. It is refunded after delivery, fitting, and the return and receipt of the old unit.

Compatibility

This reconditioned engine is compatible with Audi A3 1.6 TDI vehicles fitted with engine code DBKA. This reference makes it straightforward for garages and private customers to find a reliable replacement for this specific model.

Warranty and payment

This engine comes with a 24-month parts warranty, subject to fitting by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over up to 10 instalments.

EDEN BOITES supports you from quote through to collection of the old unit.
