Volkswagen Crafter

VW's large van - two generations, two engine worlds

The VW Crafter is the top-line van in the 3.0 – 5.5 t segment. The first generation (Mk1, 2006–2016) was built on the Mercedes Sprinter platform but with VW running gear - 5-cylinder 2.5 TDI and later 4-cylinder 2.0 TDI. The second generation (Mk2, 2017+) is a pure VW design shared with the MAN TGE, exclusively running the 2.0 TDI EA288 family.

We supply brand-new engines direct from the original manufacturer - not reman, not „as-new“. Every unit comes with full service documentation, compatibility verified by VIN, and we deliver it across the EU within 5 working days.

Parts

Parts for the VW Crafter

In addition to whole engines we supply all key components - so you avoid sourcing parts from five different suppliers and losing days waiting for „the last one“.

Garrett / BorgWarner / IHI turbo

VNT turbo for the 2.0 TDI EA189 and EA288, sequential Bi-Turbo (Garrett + IHI) for the Bi-TDI variants CSL / CSN and DAUF / DAVF. Including actuators and gaskets.

Bosch CRI2 / CRI3 common rail for the 2.0 TDI and Pumpe-Düse units for the 2.5 TDI BJJ–BJM. With coding data for IMA programming into the ECU.

High-pressure pump

Bosch CP4.1 for the EA288 (Mk2), CP3 for the EA189 (Mk1). On the 2.5 TDI it is a tandem vacuum + fuel pump. Prone to fuel contamination - we recommend filtration as well.

Timing

The 2.0 TDI EA288 uses chain timing (~150,000 km interval), the 2.5 TDI uses a toothed belt with a 120,000 km service interval. Kits include the water pump and tensioners.

Cylinder head

Fully assembled 2.0 TDI and 2.5 TDI 5-cylinder heads. Heads for BJK / BJL / BJM are specific to the Crafter Mk1. A solution for engine overheating or a cracked head.

Why new

A reman for the Crafter usually does not pay off

The VW Crafter is a typical fleet and trade van that exceeds 40,000+ km a year. With a reman you have no certainty about how many kilometres the original block did, what quality the replacement parts were or whether it was overheated. The 2.0 TDI EA288 has a fuel system that is sensitive to component quality on top of that - the second repair usually arrives within six months.

A new engine has a clear 0 km, full warranty and no doubts. Under intensive use it works out cheaper in the long run - the Crafter sits at the workshop once, not four times.
