VW Golf Complete Engines

Get Better Performance With VW Golf Complete Engines

When it launched in 1974, the VW golf paved the way for a whole new type of car: The hot hatch. More than four decades later, it still stands as an iconic classic. You can find an impressive selection of VW golf complete engines on eBay.

Working VW Golf engines on the eBay platforms can be grouped into three main categories as per their condition:

• New engines: These are engines that have not been used, and are in the same condition they were when released by the manufacturer. All parts are from the manufacturer with no aftermarket spares included.
• Remanufactured engines: These are car engines that have been used, but before being offered, they were repaired to optimum conditions. Worn out parts have been replaced and the engine can make a decent attempt at performing at the same levels as a new engine.
• Used engines: These are engines that have been used, but are still functioning. Some may have parts that need replacement or repair since they haven't been restored professionally.

In terms of cost, new engines are expensive, remanufactured engines are less costly, while used engines tend to be the on the lower price scales.

Age also has a big impact on engine price. When looking at older models such as the Mk2 golf engine, they tend to cost less than a more recent VW Golf 1.4 TSI engine. However, some engines that are rare to find might be costlier than new generation models.

Finally, the fuel type should also be considered. A petrol 1.6 16v VW engine, for example, will cost more than a diesel VW Golf 4 1.9Tdi engine.

A VW Golf 1.4 engine will cost less than a Mk4 Golf 1.8t engine. Though they might be the same age, the 1.8t has a larger capacity and is turbocharged. A 'standard' performance engine, such as a PD150 engine, will always cost less than high-performance versions. The Golf R engine and the R32 engines are other high-performance engines. The Golf 1.4 TSI engine costs more, not just for its performance, but also because it comes in the Mk6 and Mk7 Golf models.

Make sure that you are working with a reputable seller. A complete VW Golf engine is a considerable expense, you want to work with a seller that does not misrepresent engine conditions. Also, consult with a mechanic to ensure that the engine you are buying is the right one for your VW Golf.
