What sets us apart
Parts nobody else makes
We reproduce discontinued VW components — timing covers, brackets, fittings — that are simply unavailable anywhere else new.
Engine build credibility
Super-finished internals, balanced rotating assemblies, genuine OEM components from Elring, Mahle, Febi, and VW.
We restore these cars
We know exactly which parts fail, which are impossible to source, and what the market actually needs. Because we do this every day.
1.8 KR 16v Reconditioned Engines
Factory-spec Mk2 Golf 1.8 KR 16v engine rebuilt to as-new condition. £4,495 engine + £450 refundable core surcharge. Every component replaced with OEM parts, mating surfaces machined, line honed bottom end, original 1.8 bore retained. 8–12 week lead time.
What our customers say
The KR build Mark did for my Big Bumper went in last month and it's like a different car — starts first turn hot or cold, pulls cleanly to the red, and the finish under the bonnet actually looks better than factory. Worth the wait.
