Understanding the Options
Petrol TFSI
The EA888 1.8T / 2.0 TFSI and the smaller 1.4 TFSI power most Audi A1, A3, A4, A5 and Q5 models. Plentiful, well-priced and the easiest swap to source.
Diesel TDI
The 2.0 TDI and 3.0 TDI V6 are the workhorses of the A4, A6, Q5 and Q7 range. Strong torque and economy, popular replacement engines in SA.
Five-Cylinder & V8
The 2.5 TFSI five-cylinder (RS3, TT RS) and 4.2 V8 / 3.0 supercharged units are the performance and luxury motors, rarer, sourced through our specialist network.

Buying a Used Audi Engine in South Africa
An engine is the single most expensive part on any Audi, so the choice between a new unit, a reconditioned one and a quality used motor matters enormously. We strip Audi vehicles in Centurion every week, which keeps a steady flow of tested second-hand engines moving through the yard. For most owners a low-kilometre used engine is the sensible middle ground — far cheaper than new, and quicker to fit than waiting on a full rebuild.
Fitment is all about the engine code, not just the model year. The same 2.0 TDI badge can hide several different codes, so always quote with your VIN. If your block is cracked but the head is fine, a used cylinder head or a used cylinder head alone may be all you need; if the bottom end is healthy but the turbo has let go, a replacement turbocharger is the cheaper repair.
Plan for the whole drivetrain
When a car has covered serious distance, it pays to think past the engine alone. Owners fitting a used motor to a high-mileage Audi A4 spares project often quote a matching used gearbox at the same time — doing both jobs together usually works out cheaper than two separate workshop visits months apart. Tell us what the car needs and we’ll quote the lot honestly.

Engines — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a used Audi engine cost in South Africa?
It depends entirely on the engine. A 1.4 TFSI starts around R8,000, a 2.0 TDI or 2.0 TFSI runs roughly R12,000–R50,000, a 3.0 TDI V6 R25,000–R65,000, and the rare 2.5 TFSI five-cylinder can reach R85,000+. We quote each engine individually, delivery included.
Do you sell complete engines or just the block?
We supply complete used engines as standard, block, head, and the ancillaries that come off with it. Sub-assemblies like a short block, cylinder head or turbo can be sold separately if that is all you need. Tell us exactly what your build requires.
Is a used engine better value than reconditioning mine?
Often, yes. A tested second-hand engine from a low-mileage donor usually costs less than a full recon and gets your car back on the road faster. If your existing block is sound, a reconditioned short-block or a used cylinder head may be the cheaper route, we’ll advise honestly.
How do I know the engine will fit my Audi?
Engine fitment comes down to the engine code, not just the model. Send us your VIN, registration or the code stamped on your block (e.g. CAGA, CDH, CGLC) and we’ll confirm the exact match before anything ships.
Do the engines come with a warranty?
Yes. Every engine is inspected and, where possible, compression- or run-tested before dispatch, and sold with our standard 30-day warranty. We’ll explain exactly what the warranty covers when we quote you.
Can you deliver an engine to my town?
We palletise and freight engines nationwide from our Centurion premises, to Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and every smaller centre in between. Collection from the yard is also welcome.
