Bringing Beetles and buses back to life: The right engine makes all the difference.

Should I overhaul my old engine or buy a refurbished one directly?

Many classic VW owners face the same question sooner or later:
Is it worth having the old engine refurbished – or is a completely overhauled engine the better choice?

The answer depends on the condition of your engine and your requirements. A worn engine with oil consumption, poor starting, or rough running can quickly become more expensive than expected – especially if hidden damage such as cracks in the casing or warped cylinders is discovered.

With a WAGENWERKS™ Stage 1 engine, you get complete peace of mind: a fully overhauled, tested unit with new wear parts , optimized oil circulation , and guaranteed functionality . You save time, hassle, and in many cases even money – because the engine is ready to install immediately, without any unpleasant surprises.

Especially for restoration projects , but also for vehicles that are intended to run reliably in everyday use , a professionally built engine is the best decision.

This is how a project becomes a vehicle that simply brings joy – kilometer after kilometer , with the good feeling of relying on solid technology.
