Why Wagner Motoren?
Many people wonder why there are such striking price differences for overhauled engines online. We will tell you openly why that is – and what to look for when judging the quality of replacement engines.
Where Do the Low Prices Come From?
One reason is that these engines are not overhauled in Germany. That does not mean that all engines from abroad are poor. The real problem lies with companies in Germany that trade under impressive-sounding engine reconditioning names but are in fact purely trading companies. Some of them do not even have permanent business premises – they are letterbox companies.
These trading companies buy in the cheapest possible quality in order to extract the greatest possible margin from their low-price offers. Even for a poorly paid worker abroad it is simply not possible to deliver high-quality work at those prices.
Poor-Quality Engines – What Happens to You
If you have such engines fitted, or fit them yourself, you will not enjoy them for long. As a rule these engines either do not run at all or last a few kilometres at best. That is when the trouble starts:
- You will be accused of having made a fitting error
- If you are lucky you will receive a replacement engine – also of poor quality
- The companies play for time whilst you keep losing money and time on removal and refitting
- The structures are set up so that you only obtain your rights with considerable persistence
Our Recommendation
Check the reviews of these engine reconditioning companies beforehand and compare notes in forums. Do not make the mistake that others have made before you. These companies cannot be stopped by legal means, but the problem can be brought to light.
How We Safeguard the Quality of Our Replacement Engines
We have positioned our engines in a healthy mid-price range. Because we hold large stocks of spare parts, we do not have to fit an expensive new original part or carry out a complex repair in the event of major damage – for example a seized bearing seat in the cylinder head or on the valve cover. Those parts are scrapped and replaced with sound ones.
We employ skilled specialists who measure and assess these parts. That is how we make sure you receive a flawless product.
Two Documented Quality Inspections
During reconditioning, every replacement engine undergoes two documented quality inspections and is only fitted or despatched once it has been released:
- The cylinders are pressure-tested individually to check compression
- A visual inspection confirms that everything has been assembled correctly
- Finally, the valve timing is checked once more
