DEUTZ Xchange Engines and Parts

When a DEUTZ engine or a major component wears out, a new one isn’t the only option. DEUTZ Xchange engines and parts are remanufactured at the factory to current specifications, tested like new, and sold with a full warranty, for considerably less than new.

As the DEUTZ partner for Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, we supply Xchange engines, blocks and parts and fit them on site or in our workshops in Tallinn, Riga and Klaipėda.

DEUTZ Xchange engine before and after

How the exchange works

The name says it: you get a remanufactured unit, and your old engine or part goes back to DEUTZ to be remanufactured for the next customer.

1. You send us the engine number from the type plate, and we find the matching Xchange unit.
2. We order it and agree a time to fit it.
3. We fit the Xchange unit and send your old one back to DEUTZ.

Because the remanufactured unit is ready before your old one comes out, downtime is short. DEUTZ quotes two to eleven days, depending on the engine type and whether old units are available.

Xchange engines are available for DEUTZ engines going back about 40 years.

What you can get

Xchange parts. Turbochargers, cylinder heads, injectors, high-pressure pumps, starters, alternators, air compressors, EGR modules and other major components. Up to 40% cheaper than new parts.

Short blocks. The core engine: crankcase, crankshaft, camshaft, connecting rods and pistons, plus the gasket set. A good fit when the cylinder head and attachments are still in good shape.

Long blocks. A short block plus the complete cylinder head and valve train.

Xchange engines. A complete remanufactured engine, test-run at the factory. Up to 30% cheaper than a new replacement engine. Available for DEUTZ engines going back about 40 years, so also for engines that have long been out of production.

How DEUTZ remanufactures

Every Xchange unit is fully stripped and cleaned. Each part is inspected and either reused, reconditioned or replaced, and all wear parts are replaced with new genuine DEUTZ parts. The engine is brought up to the current technical standard, assembled under production conditions and test-run. Compared with building a new engine, DEUTZ puts the CO₂ saving at more than 50%.

DEUTZ Xchange engine manufacturing process

When Xchange makes sense

• The machine is in good condition but the engine is worn out.
• The machine needs to be back at work quickly.
• The engine is an older type and new parts are scarce or expensive.
• A major component such as the turbo or cylinder head has failed, and repairing it would take longer or cost more than an exchange unit.

It makes less sense when a smaller repair with a repair kit will do, or when the machine needs a newer engine to meet emission rules. In that case a repower is the better route. We look at the engine’s hours and condition, how long you plan to keep the machine and how much downtime you can accept, then lay out repair, Xchange and new engine side by side with prices.
