Specifically, our Volkswagen WE 2.2L long block comes with: precision-reground crankshaft with new main and rod bearings, new or reground camshaft, cylinder head(s) that are resurfaced and pressure tested, new timing chain or belt with gears and tensioners, new lifters, new valve seals, new front and rear main seals, and new freeze plugs. Every component meets or exceeds OEM specifications.

Question 3

What are the most common problems with the Volkswagen WE 2.2L engine?

Accepted Answer

The most common Volkswagen WE 2.2L engine problems are timing chain/belt wear, oil consumption issues, coolant leaks from gaskets, spark plug and ignition problems. These are well-documented failure points that affect many Volkswagen WE engines in service. Our remanufacturing process specifically addresses each of these known issues by using updated components, improved gaskets, and enhanced machining techniques. When you purchase a remanufactured Volkswagen WE long block from US Engine Production, these common problems have been corrected during the rebuild process, giving you a more reliable engine than a simple repair would provide.

Question 4

What warranty comes with a remanufactured Volkswagen WE engine?

Accepted Answer

Every remanufactured Volkswagen WE engine from US Engine Production comes with a comprehensive parts-and-labor warranty backed by over 40 years of remanufacturing experience. Our warranty reflects our confidence in the quality of our process — every Volkswagen WE 2.2L engine is dyno tested before shipping to verify horsepower, torque, oil pressure, and overall performance. Warranty terms may vary based on the specific application and whether the engine is for a passenger vehicle, truck, or commercial application. Contact us at (631) 991-7700 for specific warranty details for your 1981 Audi 5000.

Question 5

How long does a remanufactured Volkswagen WE engine last?

Accepted Answer

A remanufactured Volkswagen WE engine typically lasts 150,000 to 300,000+ miles with proper maintenance — comparable to a brand new engine. The longevity of your remanufactured Volkswagen WE 2.2L depends on regular oil changes, proper cooling system maintenance, using the correct fuel and fluids, and following the manufacturer's recommended service intervals. Our remanufactured long blocks are built to OEM specifications using all-new internal components, which is why they deliver the same service life as a factory-new engine.

Question 6

Is a remanufactured Volkswagen WE better than a used or rebuilt engine?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a remanufactured Volkswagen WE is significantly better than a used or rebuilt engine because every component is replaced or restored to OEM specifications. A used engine has unknown history and remaining life. A rebuilt engine only replaces worn-out parts. Our remanufactured Volkswagen WE 2.2L engines are completely disassembled down to the bare block, every component is cleaned and inspected, and all wear items are replaced with new parts — including pistons, bearings, gaskets, seals, timing components, and the oil pump. The engine block and crankshaft are precision machined to factory tolerances, delivering better reliability, longer life, and a stronger warranty than used or rebuilt alternatives.

Question 7

Will a remanufactured Volkswagen WE fit my 1981 Audi 5000?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our remanufactured Volkswagen WE long block engines are built to be a direct, bolt-in replacement for the original engine in your 1981 Audi 5000. We match the engine to your specific year, make, model, and configuration to ensure proper compatibility with your vehicle's computer, wiring harness, emissions equipment, and mounting points. When you call us at (631) 991-7700, our specialists will verify the exact engine configuration for your 1981 Audi 5000 using your VIN to ensure a perfect match.

Question 8

Do I need to return my old Volkswagen WE engine core?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a core return is required when purchasing a remanufactured Volkswagen WE long block engine. A refundable core deposit is collected at the time of purchase and is returned to you once we receive your old Volkswagen WE 2.2L engine in rebuildable condition. We make the core return process easy and hassle-free. The core return program helps us keep remanufactured engine prices affordable by recycling engine blocks and other reusable components. Your old engine core should be complete and not have any cracked or damaged major castings.

Question 9

How fast can I get a remanufactured Volkswagen WE engine shipped?

Accepted Answer

Most remanufactured Volkswagen WE engines ship within 1-3 business days with delivery in 3-7 business days to all 50 states. Expedited shipping options are available for an additional charge. Your remanufactured Volkswagen WE 2.2L engine is carefully crated and secured on a pallet for safe transport. Call (631) 991-7700 to check current availability and get an estimated delivery date for your 1981 Audi 5000.

Question 10

How is a remanufactured Volkswagen WE engine tested before shipping?

Accepted Answer

Every remanufactured Volkswagen WE long block engine undergoes comprehensive quality testing before it leaves our facility. This includes dynamometer (dyno) testing to verify horsepower output, torque specifications, oil pressure readings, and overall performance meet or exceed OEM specifications for the Volkswagen WE 2.2L. We also perform compression testing across all cylinders, leak-down testing, cooling system pressure testing, and a thorough visual inspection. Our quality assurance process ensures that every remanufactured engine we ship performs like a factory-new Volkswagen WE engine. We are committed to delivering engines that meet ISO 9001 quality standards.
