Modern drive units and parameters

Car engines vary in design, power, and fuel delivery. The most common types are:

• Gasoline engines – generate power from 75 to 450 HP, are characterized by high operating smoothness and rotational flexibility.
• Diesel engines – offer more torque at low revs (200–700 Nm), which translates into better performance under heavier loads.
• Hybrid and electric drive units – integrating a combustion engine with an electric motor or electric motors alone, providing fuel savings and lower CO₂ emissions – generate power from 75 to 450 hp, are characterized by high operating refinement and engine speed flexibility.

Characteristics of popular engine units

Examples of modern designs include the BMW B58 engines, which range from 326 to 374 hp and feature a twin-scroll turbocharger and direct injection. The popular N47 diesel engine, on the other hand, generates 143 to 204 hp and up to 400 Nm of torque. Audi's 35 TFSI engines, meanwhile, are These are 1.5 TSI petrol engines with 150 HP, which, thanks to cylinder-on-demand technology, provide an optimal balance between dynamic performance and fuel economy. Global Parts also offers VW TDI engines, which remain among the most popular solutions for users seeking durability and economy.

What makes car engines unique?

Car engines are advanced units that combine many key functions:

• Power Generation – The process of burning the fuel-air mixture in the cylinders generates driving energy.
• Fuel economy – Modern engines are designed for the lowest possible fuel consumption.
• Ecology – Advanced systems such as turbocharging and direct injection reduce exhaust emissions and meet increasingly stringent environmental standards.
• Durability and reliability – Solid construction and proper maintenance ensure many years of trouble-free operation. Every engine is made up of key components such as pistons and rings, crankshafts, cylinder heads and timing parts that must work in perfect harmony.

Performance and fit

Modern engines are designed for maximum vehicle efficiency and optimal fit for a specific vehicle model. Selecting an engine with the appropriate engine power and torque ensures not only driving comfort but also reduces operating costs thanks to improved fuel consumption and longer component life.

Technical parameters and comparisons

Different engine types offer different performance characteristics. The 2.0 TFSI petrol engine (190 hp, 320 Nm) offers flexibility and quiet operation, while the 2.0 TDI diesel (150 hp, 340 Nm) excels in fuel economy on long journeys. Hybrids, such as the 1.4 eTSI (110–150 hp), reduce fuel consumption by up to 15% in urban driving. Choosing the right engine depends on the vehicle's intended use – dynamic driving requires high-performance engines, while cost-effective installation in company fleets favors diesel or fuel -efficient TSI engines.

Why is it worth taking care of your car engine?

The engine is the most important component of a vehicle, and its failure can result in high repair costs. Regular maintenance and replacement of worn parts can help avoid problems such as:

• Decrease in vehicle power and performance.
• Excessive fuel consumption.
• Serious damage such as engine seizure or crankshaft damage. At Global Parts we offer original used car engines which have been thoroughly tested for performance and durability.

Parameter control and OEM matching

Regularly checking oil pressure, coolant level, and filter condition helps maintain your vehicle's full performance. By matching your engine to your VIN or OEM number , you can ensure that your engine is perfectly matched to your vehicle's electronics and mechanical systems.

Definitions and assembly procedures

Engine selection requires consideration not only of displacement and power, but also of the OEM number, which ensures full compatibility with the vehicle's control system and accessories. The standard engine replacement procedure includes: dismantling the old engine , comparing parameters (engine code, OEM, torque), preparing components (accessories, clutch, wiring harness), and then assembly and computer adaptation (ECU). Using the correct OEM numbers minimizes the risk of errors when matching the engine to a specific model.

How to choose the right engine?

When choosing a car engine, it is worth paying attention to several key factors:

• Vehicle-specific fit – Every car make and model has specific technical requirements. At Global Parts, you'll find engines perfectly suited to BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini, and more.
• Technical condition – Used engines should be fully functional, and their mileage and operating history must be documented.
• Engine Type – Depending on your needs, you can choose from petrol, diesel, hybrid or electric engines.

Selection criteria and technical parameters

It's also worth considering engine power, torque, timing belt type, and turbocharging system . Each of these parameters impacts vehicle performance and fuel consumption. Selecting an engine based on the OEM ensures compatibility and correct installation, minimizing the risk of operational issues.

Why choose used car engines?

Used car engines are an economical solution that allows for significant savings while maintaining high quality. Choosing used engines, you gain:

• Lower costs – They are significantly cheaper than new units, but offer comparable performance.
• Ecology – You contribute to the recycling of car parts, reducing the amount of waste.
• A wide range – In our store you will find engines matching the most popular car brands and models.

How to take care of your vehicle's engine?

To keep your car engine running reliably for a long time, you must follow a few basic rules:

• Change the oil and filters regularly to ensure proper lubrication and protection from contamination.
• Monitor the levels of operating fluids such as coolant to avoid engine overheating.
• Service the timing system according to the manufacturer's recommendations to avoid costly breakdowns.
• Listen to the engine – unusual sounds may be the first sign of problems requiring attention. If your vehicle needs an engine replacement, you'll find the right used car parts at Global Parts. that will restore your vehicle to full working order.

Regular maintenance and parameter checks

Regularly checking engine parameters such as engine power, vehicle efficiency, and torque helps maintain optimal performance . Replacing consumables according to the manufacturer's schedule ensures engine longevity and reduces operating costs.
