No compromise: every engine is tested.

No exchange engine leaves our facility without a test bench run. On our engine dyno every engine goes through a hot or cold running test to measure oil pressure, compression, tightness and smoothness.

Why MotorRevo

Factory-supplied is only the beginning. We upgrade it right at the factory too.

An off-the-shelf exchange engine simply builds the same weak points back in — the ones that killed your old engine. Our exchange engines are built as standard around exactly those weak points — and run warm on the test bench before delivery.

Factory-supplied — available immediately

No waiting while your engine is stripped, measured and rebuilt. The exchange engine is ready, it ships out, and your old engine comes back in exchange. Your vehicle is back on the road sooner.

Upgraded as standard

An upgraded oil pump, reinforced bearing shells, an optimised timing drive, revised pistons — the known failure points of your engine family are eliminated at the factory. Not as a paid-for option, but built in as standard.

Hot Running Test before delivery

Every exchange engine is run warm on our test bench: oil pressure, compression, tightness and smooth running at operating temperature. You don't get an engine that runs for the very first time in your car.

2-year warranty

A full 2-year warranty on the exchange engine. With no mileage limit when we fit it. You drive with the confidence that we stand behind every engine we deliver.

Fixed price in 5 minutes

„My T5 with the 2.0 BiTDI had the well-known oil pump death. Instead of fitting the same weak point all over again, I got a factory exchange engine with an upgraded oil pump. The price was fixed in 5 minutes and the engine had already run on the test bench. It has been running flawlessly for 14 months."

„Finally a provider that doesn't spend weeks taking my engine apart, but had a tested exchange engine ready to go. Collection, exchange, return delivery — all organised. The 2-year warranty was what tipped the scales."

„OM642 in the Sprinter, bearing damage. MotorRevo delivered the exchange engine including an upgraded oil pump, with a documented Hot Running Test. No comparison to the cheap used engine others tried to palm off on me. A clear recommendation."

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Answers to the most common questions about factory exchange engines.

What does factory-supplied and upgraded mean for an exchange engine?
Factory-supplied means the exchange engine is built or remanufactured to factory standard — depending on engine family and availability either newly built at the factory or factory-remanufactured, in both cases tested and technically equivalent. On top of that we replace the known weak points of the engine family as standard with better components — an upgraded oil pump, reinforced bearing shells, an optimised timing drive, coated pistons. The engine leaves us better than stock.
What is the Hot Running Test?
Before delivery, every exchange engine is run warm on the test bench at our workshop. We measure oil pressure, compression, tightness and smooth running at operating temperature and document it. That way you don't get an engine that runs for the first time in your car — but one that has already passed its test run.
What warranty comes with the exchange engine?
A 2-year warranty on the exchange engine. With no mileage limit when fitted by our workshop. When fitted by another workshop, the warranty applies provided the installation is properly documented. If a problem arises, we collect the vehicle free of charge within the warranty period.
Exchange engine or rebuild — which is better?
An exchange engine is the faster solution: the engine is ready and waiting, and your vehicle is back on the road sooner. A rebuild of your original engine is worthwhile when matching numbers count (collectors, leasing, high-value used cars) — that is offered by our sister company MIK Motoren. In the configurator we advise you honestly on what is more economical for your vehicle.
What does an exchange engine cost at MotorRevo?
Prices start from around €4,290 net for common 2.0 four-cylinder engines and, depending on the engine family, rise to over €9,000 for Mercedes V6 or BMW six-cylinder diesels. The price includes built-in upgrades, the Hot Running Test and a 2-year warranty. Your binding fixed price comes from the configurator in 5 minutes.
How does the exchange work — what happens to my old engine?
We deliver the factory exchange engine and take your old engine back in exchange. If you wish, we handle removal and fitting in our workshop. The pickup & delivery service is organised EU-wide and fully insured — you don't have to travel anywhere.
Can I get the exchange engine without fitting too?
Yes. We also supply the exchange engine without fitting — with a full warranty on the engine. We recommend fitting by our workshop or a certified master workshop so that the installation warranty with no mileage limit applies.
Which brands and engines does MotorRevo offer?
All the major European and Japanese brands: VW, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Seat, Škoda, MINI, CUPRA and more. Petrol, diesel, TSI, TDI, TFSI, CDI. Inline-four through to V8. Rare engines on request too — we build the right exchange engine for you.
Who is behind MotorRevo?
MotorRevo is part of the MIK Motoren family — the certified master workshop that has built over 8,500 engines. The same engine engineering, the same test-bench expertise, the same quality promise. MotorRevo specialises in factory exchange engines, MIK Motoren in rebuilding your original engine.
What documents do I need for the quote?
Nothing. A number plate or VIN is enough. We pull the model and engine code automatically and find the right exchange engine. If you already have fault codes or a workshop report — feel free to upload a photo and we'll calculate even more precisely.
Behind the scenes

How your exchange engine is built.

Built to factory standard, upgraded as standard, tested on the bench. Here is a look inside.

In conversation

The man behind MotorRevo.

Marvin Kobus
Marvin KobusManaging Director, MotorRevo

An exchange engine must not build back in the same weak point that killed the old one. That is exactly where we start.

Why MotorRevo — aren’t there enough exchange engines already?
Because most come off the shelf, with the same series weaknesses. Every engine we supply is built to factory standard and the known weak points are swapped for better parts as standard. That is the difference between runs for now and runs for years.
What do you do differently from a normal workshop?
We come from engine rebuilding — over 8,500 engines across the MIK family. That experience goes into every exchange engine. And every one runs on our dyno before it reaches the customer.
Why a 2-year warranty?
Because I stand behind what we ship. If you upgrade as standard and test every engine, you can give a 2-year warranty. That is not marketing, it is consistency.
