Used VW Amarok Spares & Parts

The Amarok earned its following in South Africa on torque and towing, and the current generation is assembled at Silverton in Pretoria, so it is a genuinely local bakkie. On the used-parts side the enquiries split cleanly. Earlier 2.0 BiTDI cars — CDCA and the later CNEA — are known for turbo failures on the small high-pressure turbo, cracked or warped cylinder heads, and oil pump chain wear that can end an engine, so complete second-hand engines and heads move constantly. The 3.0 V6 TDI cars have a different shopping list: timing chains, EGR coolers and intercooler pipework. Mechanically, 8-speed automatic gearboxes, front and rear diffs, propshafts and transfer components are regular requests from owners who tow or run gravel. Bodywise, gravel-road life means windscreens, headlights, front bumpers, bull bars and load-bin liners. If your Amarok is a Highline or Extreme, say so — the trim, lights and bumper mouldings differ from the Trendline.
