VW and Audi 2.0 TDI repair and rebuild

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.

How this engine fails

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.

How we put it right

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.

The process

How your engine gets rebuilt

01

Tell us what happened

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.

02

We collect the vehicle

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.

03

Strip down and video inspection

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.

04

Rebuild with OEM parts

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.

05

Test certified and returned

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.

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.
Sandra K, Manchester
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.
