How much does a reconditioned VW T2 engine cost?
The cost of a reconditioned VW T2 Bay engine can vary depending on a variety of factors. This includes the engine's specifications, the extent of the reconditioning, and any performance upgrades included. On average, the cost of a reconditioned T2 Bay engine typically ranges from approximately £2,600 to £4,500.
Here's a quick summary of the factors influencing cost:
Engine Type: Stock reconditioned engines, rebuilt to original factory specifications, are generally more affordable. These engines are ideal for those wanting to preserve the classic performance and feel of their T2 Bay.
Performance Upgrades: Enhanced components like high-performance camshafts or improved carburettors can increase the price.
Inclusions: Some reconditioned engines are available as turnkey packages, which include essential components like the carburettor, distributor and ignition system. While these packages raise the overall cost, they do offer the convenience of a fully assembled engine that’s ready to install.

The 2.0 TDI engine (diesel) usually has a timing belt, which requires replacement according to the vehicle's maintenance schedule, typically every 60,000 to 100,000 miles.
