Need a reliable replacement engine for your Volkswagen Sharan?
Engine Finders specializes in Sharan engines with solutions for common CAYA and CAYB timing chain failures.
Includes reinforced timing chains for CAYA/CAYB 2.0 TDI reliability.
Fully rebuilt to OEM specs with updated EGR and turbo components.
Restored with wear-prone parts replaced per VW Service Bulletin SWE-19-03.
Plug-and-play units for 7N Sharan (2010-2022) with DSG compatibility.
Performance-tuned with oil pump and tensioner upgrades for longevity.
Low-mileage pull-outs with full service history and leak-tested.
Engine Finders connects UK drivers with vetted specialists for reliable, reconditioned Volkswagen Sharan replacement engines. From the N47D20C diesel (2010-2015) to the B47D20A TDI (2015-2022), we address Sharan-specific issues like premature timing chain wear and EGR cooler cracking-common in the 7N chassis due to its unique thermal load profile.
We replace the OEM tensioner (11347585994) with an upgraded dual-spring unit per Volkswagen Service Bulletin SWE-19-02, addressing the accelerated wear seen in Sharan 2010-2015 models.
Our reconditioned B47D20A units include aluminium EGR coolers (OEM 04L145701F) that resist cracking-a known failure in Sharan 2015-2022 due to high exhaust backpressure from DSG tuning.
Unlike other VWs using the N47, the Sharan requires oil pump part 03L115105J to maintain pressure during extended idle-critical for family MPV use and addressed in all our rebuilt units.
Sharan engines paired with DQ250 gearboxes need reinforced hydraulic mounts (OEM 7N0199379B); we install these as standard to prevent drivetrain shudder post-installation.
All 2.0 TDI CAYA/CAYB engines undergo vacuum testing on VNT actuators (OEM 03G253016K), a common failure point in Sharan due to frequent short-trip driving patterns.
We fit Viton-coated injector sleeves (OEM 03L130051C) in all diesel Sharan engines to prevent carbon buildup-a documented issue in UK-spec vehicles per VW Technical Campaign TC-21-07.
Every engine is tested against Sharan-specific load curves (idle at 850 RPM, 220 Nm torque plateau) to ensure compatibility with the 7N’s heavier curb weight and climate control demands.
Our certified partners are trained on Sharan-specific procedures, including subframe alignment tolerances (±1.2mm) required after engine removal on 2010-2022 7N chassis.
Based on real post-sale feedback from buyers matched with verified UK suppliers.
Engine Finders connects UK Sharan owners with verified suppliers of replacement engines for the CFFB, CRKB, and CAEA variants. Whether you're facing DPF clogging in your 2012 Sharan TDI or turbocharger failure in the CAEA petrol, we help you find a direct-fit, bench-tested engine fast.
The Volkswagen Sharan (chassis code 7N) was produced from 2010 to 2022 as a single-generation MPV, sharing underpinnings with the SEAT Alhambra. Early models (2010-2015) used EA113 and early EA888 engines like the CFFB diesel and CAEA petrol, while post-2015 updates introduced the CRKB TDI and DJKA TSI Evo. The CFFB is notorious for EGR cooler cracking due to thermal stress in the Sharan’s tightly packed engine bay-a flaw addressed in Volkswagen Service Bulletin TDI-16-07. Unlike Golf or Passat applications, the Sharan’s frequent stop-start use in family driving accelerates DPF and HPFP wear.
Sharan-specific engine codes reflect its role as a family MPV, with tuning optimised for low-end torque and emissions compliance.
All listed engines are exclusive to the 7N Sharan platform-shared codes like the CFFB behave differently here than in Touran or Passat due to distinct ECU mapping and cooling demands.
We offer four engine types tailored to the Sharan’s high-mileage, family-use profile:
For Sharan owners, remanufactured or rebuilt engines are strongly recommended due to the model’s exposure to short-trip driving and emissions system stress.
Our in-stock Sharan reconditioned engines include critical upgrades addressing known failure points:
Every engine undergoes 2-hour bench testing simulating real-world Sharan conditions-including repeated cold starts and stop-start cycles-to ensure MoT compliance and long-term reliability.
All rebuilt, reconditioned, and remanufactured Sharan engines include a full 12-month parts-and-labour warranty.
Engine Finders is a price comparison and referral service. Final warranty terms are set by our verified partner suppliers, all of whom adhere to UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 standards.
When your engine fails, Volkswagen Sharan 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 Strip & Inspection: Every N47/B47 block is magnafluxed for cracks; cylinder bores measured to 0.01mm tolerance per VW repair manual 20-10.
2. Timing System Overhaul: N47D20C engines get upgraded tensioner (11347585994) and dual-rail guides-critical for 7N’s high-idle duty cycles.
3. EGR & Turbo Service: B47D20A units receive new VNT actuator (03G253016K) and EGR cooler (04L145701F), addressing Sharan-specific thermal stress failures.
4. Oil System Refresh: Oil pump (03L115105J) and pickup tube replaced on all diesel units to maintain pressure during school-run idling.
5. Precision Reassembly: Torque-to-yield head bolts tightened to 25Nm + 90° + 90° using VW tool 3366-never reused.
6. Bench Validation: Run-in on dyno simulating 7N load profile (220 Nm plateau, 3,500 RPM cruise) with oil temp logged for 45 mins.
