How do I know which engine fits my car?

Enter your registration plate or VIN in the quote form. We confirm compatibility manually before quoting. If we ship the wrong reference, we cover the swap and the transport.

Can I fit the engine myself?

A professional fit is strongly recommended and is what activates the warranty. Experienced fitters with the right tooling can self-install — contact us first to confirm conditions.

What is and isn't included with the engine?

Included: complete block with cylinder head, intake and exhaust manifolds, new gaskets, four-test report. Not included: turbo, injectors, harness, ECU, clutch, flywheel — these transfer from your original or are quoted separately.
