Used or reconditioned?
Used EA288 units are widely available for the transverse compact applications (Groups 1), offering good value across the Golf/A3/Leon/Octavia range. For longitudinal applications (Group 2\) and higher-output variants, reconditioned units are more commonly selected given higher replacement cost and vehicle value. The 2.0 TDI EA288 engine is VAG's current-generation diesel, fitted across SEAT, Audi, Volkswagen and Škoda's compact and mid-size ranges from 2012 onwards. Replacement demand is driven by common-rail fuel system wear, turbocharger degradation, and timing chain stretch on higher-mileage examples. Every prepared unit we supply has injectors tested, the timing chain assembly inspected, and the turbocharger checked as standard before dispatch.
