Elite Engines are renowned UK Volkswagen engine reconditioning specialists trusted by drivers, collectors, and enthusiasts nationwide.
All ServicesElite Engines began with a clear mission: to provide reliable, high-performance VW engine rebuilds built entirely in-house by technicians who care about their craft. With over 50 years of combined engineering experience, we’ve grown from a small Essex workshop to one of the UK’s go-to providers for reconditioned Volkswagen engines, engine fitting, and component fabrication.
From T2 and T25 classics to late-model Transporters, our team rebuilds air-cooled and water-cooled engines with unmatched attention to detail and mechanical integrity.
At Elite Engines, we don't just rebuild VW engines – we restore confidence in your vehicle.
If you're preserving a cherished classic or breathing life into a hard-working Transporter, we'll bring unmatched technical depth, engineering discipline and pride to every job. No sales pressure. No vague promises. Just honest advice, transparent pricing, and results that speak for themselves.
Every engine is stripped, inspected, machined, rebuilt, and tested in our Essex facility. No outsourcing, no compromises.
We offer fast UK-wide delivery and collect your old unit as part of our part-exchange service. International shipping also available.
All engines come with a 12-month or 12,000-mile guarantee – extendable with our in-house servicing plan.
Top service. Engine was built and fitted faster than expected. Over a year later it's still running like a dream.
Had some work done on a case and crank. Really very helpful, lots of advice. Clearly know their stuff, will be going back to them with any future work.
These guys saved my Transporter project. There were parts I couldn’t find anywhere, they machined from scratch.
Just had my Mk 1 Caddy worked on, wouldn't have gone anywhere else. Been going to them since 1998 with T2, T25's and Golf's... Engineering is to worship.
Top bunch of blokes. Again they saved my **** and kept by business running! If you know any one with a vw who has problems put them on to these guys!
Top notch workmanship. Friendly team. Worth the drive from Manchester - I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
