Engine Finders connects UK drivers with vetted specialists for reliable, reconditioned MG MG HS replacement engines. From the 1.5L L3E turbo petrol (SAIC-15C4E) to the Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) variant with integrated electric motor, we address MG HS-specific issues like high-pressure fuel pump failures in early L3E units and inverter-cooling degradation in PHEV models (2019-present). Whether you need a replacement due to timing chain tensioner wear in the L3E or DC-DC converter faults in the PHEV drivetrain, Engine Finders makes it easy to locate the right engine, fast.
We replace the factory timing chain tensioner (OEM 3012015A00) with reinforced aftermarket units proven to resolve premature wear in MG HS L3E engines (2019-2023), per MG Technical Bulletin TSB-ENG-21-04.
Our PHEV MG HS engines include pre-flashed hybrid control modules (part # MG-PHEV-HCU-2020) calibrated to UK-spec battery management systems, avoiding common 'Hybrid System Fault' errors post-installation.
Reconditioned L3E engines feature upgraded fuel pump drive gears (OEM 3012020B01) to prevent camshaft lobe wear-a known issue in MG HS units built before Q3 2021 per MG Service Campaign SC-FP21.
All PHEV MG HS engines are tested with OEM-spec DC-DC converters (part # MG-DCDC-19PHEV) to ensure stable 12V system voltage-critical for avoiding infotainment and ECU resets common in donor swaps.
We provide engines pre-coded to MG HS VIN ranges (ZSABVxxx for PHEV, ZSAMVxxx for petrol), eliminating immobiliser sync issues that plague generic replacements.
L3E engines include updated wastegate actuators (OEM 3012030C02) to prevent boost creep and turbo failure-addressing a flaw in early MG HS units (2019-2020) documented in owner forums and MG dealer bulletins.
Unlike generic suppliers, we exclusively list engines from UK MG HS donors-ensuring correct emissions calibration (Euro 6d-TEMP for PHEV, Euro 6c for petrol) and avoiding costly import compliance issues.
Every MG HS engine comes with a minimum 12-month warranty covering both mechanical and hybrid components-backed by MG-certified rebuilders familiar with HS-specific failure modes.
Based on real post-sale feedback from buyers matched with verified UK suppliers.
Whether you're replacing a failed 1.5T due to turbo wastegate issues or a 2.0T with timing chain wear, Engine Finders supplies verified MG MG HS replacement engines-bench-tested, UK-sourced, and ready for direct fitment on AP33/AP34 chassis.
Launched in 2018 for the UK market (AP33 pre-facelift, AP34 facelift from 2021), the MG HS features two primary petrol engines: the 15C4C 1.5L turbo and 20L4E 2.0L turbo. The 1.5T is prone to carbon buildup and turbo actuator failure, while the 2.0T suffers from premature timing chain tensioner wear-especially in 2019-2021 AP33 units. MG Technical Bulletin TSB-MGHS-2020-03 specifically addresses oil consumption in early 2.0T engines due to piston ring design. Unlike other MG SUVs, the HS uses a wet timing chain system with unique oil pressure requirements, making generic replacements risky without model-specific calibration.
All MG HS engines are petrol-only in the UK market, with no diesel variants. Each engine code corresponds to specific production years and technical configurations:
While the 15C4C appears in other MG models, in the HS it’s paired with a 7-speed DCT requiring precise crankshaft position sensor alignment-making engine swaps from non-HS donors incompatible without ECU reprogramming.
We supply four engine types tailored to MG HS reliability concerns:
For AP33 2.0T owners, remanufactured engines are strongly advised due to systemic timing chain design flaws.
Our in-stock MG HS reconditioned engines include model-specific upgrades addressing known failure points:
Every engine undergoes 45-minute hot-bench testing simulating MG HS DCT load cycles, with compression and leak-down reports provided.
All rebuilt, reconditioned, and remanufactured MG MG HS engines include a 12-month parts-and-labour warranty.
Engine Finders is a price comparison platform; warranty terms are set by our certified UK suppliers and vary by engine type.
When your engine fails, MG MG HS engine works can restore performance at a fraction of the cost of a brand-new engine. From diagnostics to rebuild, here's how experts ensure optimal results.
1. Full Disassembly & Inspection: Every MG HS engine is stripped using OEM tooling; cylinder bores measured with micrometers to 0.01mm tolerance for ZS-chassis wear patterns.
2. Component Replacement: Worn parts swapped with OEM-spec units-e.g., timing chain tensioner LGR2045T for 20L4E, or injector 0445110567 for 20D4E diesel.
3. Precision Reassembly: Torque sequences follow MG workshop manual-e.g., 25Nm + 90° for 15C4E cylinder head bolts, using calibrated digital wrenches.
4. Hybrid System Calibration: For 15C4R PHEV engines, crank/cam sensors synced to MG’s hybrid ECU using Tech2-compatible diagnostics.
5. Bench Testing: Each engine run under load for 45+ minutes; oil pressure, coolant temp, and idle stability logged against MG HS factory specs.
6. Final Certification: Includes digital report with serial-matched warranty, compatible only with your MG HS VIN and chassis code (ZS).
