Volkswagen Audi Group · Diesel
The 2.0 TDI is one of the most common diesel engines on UK roads, fitted to the Golf, Passat, Tiguan, Audi A3, A4, Skoda Octavia and SEAT Leon. Different versions have different weak points. Earlier PD engines suffer camshaft and follower wear, while later common rail engines can suffer oil pump drive failure, stretched timing chains and turbocharger problems. High mileage examples often need injector and dual mass flywheel attention too.

Oil pump drive failure on the common rail engines is the big one. The balancer shaft drive can wear and fail, starving the engine of oil and wrecking the bottom end. Camshaft wear on PD engines shows as rough running and poor starting. A failing turbo whistles, smokes and eventually sheds its bearings. Caught early, many of these faults are repairable without a full rebuild. Left too late, the engine usually needs one.
We repair and rebuild every generation of the 2.0 TDI. That means honest diagnosis first, because not every TDI needs a rebuild. When a rebuild is the right answer we machine the head and block to factory tolerances and rebuild with OEM bearings, pistons, chains and gaskets. The work is documented with photographs, test certified and covered by our 12 month transferable warranty. Collection is available anywhere in the UK.
Tell us the model, the year and the symptoms. An engineer who knows this engine will come back with a fixed price.
Before you decide on any repair, read our repair versus used engine guide and the guide to timing chain and belt failure causes. Both were written by the engineers who will work on your engine.
The process
Call or send the form and describe the symptoms. A rattle, smoke, a warning light or a complete failure. We will ask a few questions about the vehicle and give you an honest first view over the phone.
Our collection service picks the vehicle up directly from your home, your workplace or your garage, anywhere in the UK. Non runners are no problem. Recovery to one of our workshops is all part of the service.
We dismantle the engine and record a video inspection of every component. You see exactly what failed and why before you spend a penny on parts. Then you approve a fixed written quote.
Our engineers rebuild the engine with OEM parts and photograph every stage. The photographic rebuild report becomes your record of the work and supports your warranty and the vehicle’s resale value.
Every rebuild is test certified before the engine leaves the workshop. We return the vehicle to your door with the report, the certification and a 12 month warranty that transfers to the next keeper.
Reviews
Five star rated engine repair and rebuild service
“The video of my stripped engine showed exactly why it failed. The rebuild was finished in a week and the car has been perfect since.”
“My Transit is my living. They collected it from my depot, rebuilt the EcoBlue and had me back working inside ten days.”
“Two garages told me to scrap the car or fit a used engine. Engine Repairs rebuilt it properly and the warranty transferred when I sold it.”
