Japanese cars come with petrol, diesel and hybrid engines, and the fuel type is only the start of the story. Two engines can share a fuel type and still differ in capacity, power output, mountings and the electronics that control them. That is why we ask for your car's details before we confirm anything.
Hybrid engines need extra care. The engine and the hybrid system work together, so the engine code and the year of the car matter even more. Tell us exactly what you drive and we will check the engine against it.
How to check an engine fits your car
The engine code is the single most useful piece of information you can give us. It is usually stamped on the engine itself or printed in your car's documents. With the code, plus your car's make, model and year, we can check whether an engine is the right one for your car.
If you cannot find the code, do not guess. Call us with the details you do have and we will talk through what to look for. A five-minute conversation before you buy is worth far more than a wrong engine delivered to your door.
What to check before buying a used engine
Before you commit to a used engine, look at the oil and the coolant, check for leaks around the seals, and ask about the engine's history — what car it came from and why that car was broken. Our guide to checking a used engine walks through each of these checks in detail.
Ask what comes with the engine, too. Some engines are sold bare, others with ancillaries such as the alternator or starter motor attached. Knowing what is included lets you compare prices fairly and avoids surprises when the engine arrives.
Engine codes and identification
An engine code is a short combination of letters and numbers that identifies the exact engine type. Two cars that look identical can carry different engine codes, and the code decides which parts, mounts and electronics the engine needs. If you are buying an engine, the code is the detail that matters most — more than the model name on the back of the car.
How much does a used engine cost?
Engine prices vary widely with the engine type, its condition and what is included. We do not list engine prices here for that reason. Call 07961 404768 with your engine code and car details and we will give you a price for the engine we hold.
Frequently asked questions
Will this engine fit my car?
It depends on your car's make, model, year and engine code. Give us those details when you call on 07961 404768 and we will check the engine against them. If the engine does not match your car, we will tell you rather than sell you the wrong one.
What information do I need before I call?
Your car's make, model and year, and the engine code if you can find it. The code is usually stamped on the engine or printed in your car's documents. If you cannot find it, call us with what you have and we will help you track it down.
What should I check before buying a used engine?
Check the oil and coolant, look for leaks around the seals, and ask about the engine's history — what car it came from and why it was broken. Our guide to checking a used engine explains each check step by step.
Do engines come with the ancillaries?
It varies from engine to engine. Some are sold bare and some come with parts such as the alternator or starter motor attached. Ask us when you call and we will tell you exactly what is included with the engine you are buying.
What if you do not have my engine in stock?
Stock changes as cars are broken, so it is always worth asking. Call 07961 404768 with your engine code and car details and we will check what we hold. If we do not have it, we will say so plainly rather than keep you waiting.
