VW Touareg 4.2 TDI V8 engine for sale

VW Touareg 4.2 TDI V8 engine for sale

Product Overview

For sale is a complete Volkswagen Touareg 4.2-litre TDI V8 engine, code CKD, manufactured in 2011 and recording 72,393 kilometres. The engine is supplied complete as shown in the listing photographs, and is fully identified with a confirmed turbocharger number (057.145.874.J) and confirmed injector part number (057.130.277.AM) — providing buyers and workshops with independent means to verify all critical component specifications prior to purchase.

The CKD is the 4.2-litre V8 twin-turbo diesel— one of the most capable and highly regarded diesel engines ever fitted to a production SUV. Producing 250 kW (340 hp) and 800 Nm of torque, it was at the time of its introduction one of the most powerful diesel units available in a passenger SUV anywhere in the world, and it retains a strong reputation for pulling power, smoothness, and long-term durability when properly maintained.

Confirmed Component Part Numbers

Both part numbers are provided for independent verification through VAG parts databases, ETKA, or TecDoc prior to purchase. The turbocharger and injectors are the two most expensive and failure-prone components in the 4.2 TDI — confirming their specific part numbers allows buyers to verify exact specifications and compatibility before committing to the purchase.

Engine Specification

About the VW Touareg 4.2 TDI V8 CKD Engine

The Volkswagen 4.2 TDI V8 is a twin-turbocharged diesel engine that was offered in the Touareg during its second generation (7P) production run and in the first-generation Audi Q7 (4L). The engine represents one of the most ambitious diesel applications in VW Group’s history — a full V8 diesel configuration producing genuine SUV-grade torque and towing capability while remaining relatively refined in operation compared to the diesel V8s of previous generations.

In CKD specification, the engine produces 250 kW (340 hp) and 800 Nm of torque — figures that make the Touareg 4.2 TDI one of the strongest-pulling diesel SUVs of its era. The twin-turbo layout provides broad torque availability across a wide RPM range, suited to both the Touareg’s on-road motorway capability and its off-road and towing applications.

The 4.2 TDI is regarded as a durable engine when properly maintained — particularly with regard to regular oil changes and attention to the high-pressure fuel system. At 72,393km from 2011, this engine is at a stage in its service life where, with a known component specification (turbo and injector numbers confirmed), a buyer has a clear picture of what they are acquiring and what ongoing maintenance attention may be appropriate.
