If you need a new engine and you want the ultimate peace of mind, our range of Preservation Parts engines could be just what you're looking for. Our Turnkey unit offers additional ease for fitting as it's supplied with the ancillaries listed below, already fitted, and has been run and hot tested before leaving our facility.


The engine timings etc. are all pre-set so the engine is ready to install and run straight out of the crate. We're so confident in the quality that they all come with a 12-month, unlimited mileage warranty.


We do reuse some original VW parts during the rebuild, as you'll see from the specification below.


This isn't a cost-cutting exercise, it’s just that in some cases the original parts are better than the new parts available. All reused original parts are thoroughly tested and checked to be well within manufacturers' tolerances. We wouldn't use them if they weren't right.
