Frequently Asked Questions

What is a used car engine?

A used car engine is a second hand engine removed from a vehicle that is no longer in use. Used engines have not been rebuilt; they retain the original manufacturer’s components but are inspected and tested for defects.

How long does a car engine last?

The life of a car engine depends on many factors, including the quality of its design, how well it is maintained and driving conditions. With regular servicing, modern petrol and diesel engines often last for more than 150,000 miles. Replacing your engine with a used or reconditioned unit can extend the life of your vehicle without the cost of buying a new car.

How can I tell if my engine is damaged?

Signs of a damaged engine include knocking or tapping noises, excessive smoke, oil or coolant leaks, loss of power, overheating, or the engine warning light on the dashboard. If you notice these symptoms, have a specialist inspect the engine to determine whether repair or replacement is the best option.

Is it worth buying a second-hand engine?

Of course, when sourced from a reliable supplier. Used engines are typically cheaper than brand new units and can give your vehicle a new lease of life. However, you should always check the mileage, overall condition and whether a warranty is offered.

What is the difference between a used and reconditioned engine?

A used engine is a serviceable engine removed from a vehicle and sold with minimal refurbishment. A reconditioned engine strips to its block, replaces worn pistons, piston rings, crankshaft bearings and seals, machines the block if necessary, and rebuilds the unit using OEM car parts. After assembly, we run the engine on a dynamometer to simulate real-world loads and check oil pressure, coolant temperature and exhaust gases. Reconditioned engines are more expensive up front but often come with longer warranties.

Is it worth repairing an engine, or should I replace it?

The choice depends on the extent of the damage and the cost of repair. If the engine has suffered major damage like a broken block or bent crankshaft, replacement is usually more economical than repair.

What should I look for when buying a used engine?

Check the engine’s mileage, condition and documented history, and ensure a warranty is offered. You should also confirm that the engine code matches your vehicle and ask whether the engine has been compression tested.

Why is mileage important when buying an engine?

Mileage indicates the amount of wear a used engine has experienced. Engines with lower mileage tend to have less wear and therefore a longer remaining life. When buying a used engine, always ask for the recorded mileage and choose a unit with lower mileage and a reliable service history.

How can I find a reputable engine supplier in the UK?

Look for suppliers that specialise in engine replacement, offer warranties and have positive customer reviews. Dieselenginerus Ltd is a specialist supplier with a large selection of used and reconditioned engines, in-house testing, recovery services and up to 12 months warranty.

Is it cheaper to replace an engine or buy a new car?

In most cases, replacing an engine is cheaper than buying a new car. The total cost of engine replacement depends on the engine type, vehicle make, and labour involved, but it is generally lower than the price of a new vehicle. Fitting a quality used or reconditioned engine from Dieselenginerus Ltd can extend the life of your existing car, van or minibus at a fraction of the cost of purchasing a replacement vehicle.
