What this guide covers

Buyers search for reconditioned engines when they want a unit that has been opened or checked, not a scrapyard pull with no file. This shop lists inspected engines with photographs and a price.

Reconditioned, refurbished, and used are searched as if they were separate products. Here they point at the same rule: the listing states what was done, and the photographs show the unit.

Fitment

A reconditioned label does not widen fitment. The engine code and the gearbox still have to match.

What the workshop checks

Read the product page for the inspection notes on that unit. A family guide cannot list the readings of every engine in the building.

How to choose a listing

Order the unit whose page matches the car. Use this guide to understand the word, then use the listing to confirm the engine.

Warranty

Eligible engines carry a warranty of up to 12 months after a correct installation by a workshop. The warranty covers eligible internal failure. It does not cover a mismatched fitment, a dry start, the wrong oil, or damage caused after the crate is opened.

Shipping

Door-to-door shipping from Hamburg is a flat 299,00 €. The engine is packed for freight and delivered to the address on the order. A forklift or an engine crane is required at delivery. The shipment is arranged to the destination the buyer provides.
