Volkswagen Transporter

Three generations, one gold standard for the working van

The Volkswagen Transporter has been synonymous with the tradesman's van in Europe since 1990 - across three main modern generations (T4, T5, T6 / T6.1) the line-up has moved from 5-cylinder 2.4 D / 2.5 TDI engines to modern 4-cylinder 2.0 TDI units of the EA189 and EA288 ranges.

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 Transporter

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 turbo

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

Bosch / Siemens injectors

Bosch CRI2 / CRI3 common rail for the 2.0 TDI and Pumpe-Düse units for the 1.9 TDI and 2.5 TDI. With coding data for IMA programming.

High-pressure pump

Bosch CP4.1 for the EA288, CP3 for the EA189. On the 2.5 TDI / 1.9 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), older 1.9 / 2.5 TDI units use a toothed belt with a 90,000 - 120,000 km service interval. Kits include the water pump.

Cylinder head

Fully assembled 2.0 TDI, 1.9 TDI and 2.5 TDI heads - the 5-cylinder heads for older generations are specific. A solution for engine overheating or a cracked head.

Clutch and flywheel

Three-piece clutch kits and dual-mass flywheels for both manual (5/6-speed) and automatic (DSG 7-speed) for the entire T4, T5 and T6 range.

Why new

A reman for the Transporter usually does not pay off

The VW Transporter is often deployed in trade and fleet duty that pushes the engine to 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 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 Transporter sits at the workshop once, not four times.

Reman vs. new - full comparison
  • 12-month warranty

    Full manufacturer warranty - no exceptions, no curtailment for normal wear and tear.

  • Delivery within 5 days

    Standard for 2.0 TDI and 2.5 TDI. Special codes within 7 - 10 days.

  • Free VIN check

    Before ordering we verify the exact engine code so it fits your Transporter.
