Toyota Camry Hybrid 2010 Blue Wrecking

Toyota Camry Hybrid 2010 Blue Wrecking

There are cars that you buy for passion, cars you buy for work, and then there are cars you buy for sheer, uncompromising intelligence. The Toyota Camry Hybrid falls firmly into that last category. When the AHV40R model arrived in Australia, it wasn’t just another family sedan; it was a quiet revolution. It took the futuristic concept of hybrid technology and placed it squarely into the driveways of everyday Australian families. Suddenly, incredible fuel economy wasn’t a novelty; it was a practical, reliable reality.

These cars have become legends on our roads. From silent, early morning commutes on the Kwinana Freeway to long, fuel-sipping family trips down south, the Camry Hybrid has earned its reputation for being one of the most dependable and economical vehicles ever built. Here at WA Auto Parts, we have a deep respect for this kind of engineering. And that’s why we see our latest arrival not as an end, but as a new beginning.

Currently in our Perth yard is a 2010 Toyota Camry Hybrid in a handsome shade of Dynamic Blue. After a life of loyal service, an unfortunate incident has retired it from the road. But the revolutionary technology that powered it is very much alive. This car is now ready to become an invaluable donor, providing its specialised components to keep countless other Camry Hybrids running efficiently across Western Australia and beyond.

Welcome to WA Auto Parts, your leading used auto parts buyer, seller & wrecker in Perth, Western Australia. For over 15 years, we have been committed to providing our community with a one-stop shop for an incredible array of used car parts at the lowest possible prices. As automotive technology has evolved, so have we. We have developed the expertise needed to safely and professionally handle complex modern vehicles, and this 2010 Camry Hybrid is a perfect showcase of the quality and specialised parts we offer.

A Closer Look at Our Donor Vehicle

Toyota Camry Hybrid 2010 Blue Wrecking

For a vehicle this specific, the details are everything. The parts from a Camry Hybrid are unique, and matching them correctly is the key to a successful repair.

  • Make: Toyota
  • Model: Camry Hybrid
  • Series: AHV40R
  • Year: 2010
  • Colour: Dynamic Blue
  • Powertrain: 2.4L 2AZ-FXE Petrol Engine with Hybrid Synergy Drive
  • Transmission: e-CVT (Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission)
  • Odometer: Approximately 195,000 km

Now, let’s delve into the heart of this machine – the parts that make it so special.

The Crown Jewels: Hybrid Synergy Drive Components

This is where the true value lies. The failure of a major hybrid component can often be a death sentence for an older hybrid vehicle due to the astronomical cost of new parts. This is where we step in. We are carefully dismantling the entire Hybrid Synergy Drive system, offering you genuine, tested components at a price that makes sense.

  • High-Voltage (HV) Battery Pack: This is the big one. The HV battery is the lifeblood of the hybrid system. A brand new battery from a dealer can cost thousands, often more than the car is worth. We have the complete HV battery pack from this vehicle available. It’s a genuine Toyota component that offers the most reliable and cost-effective solution for a vehicle with a failing battery.
  • Inverter with Converter Assembly: Think of this as the brain of the hybrid system. This complex unit manages the flow of electricity between the battery, the electric motors, and the petrol engine. It’s a common failure point, and a replacement is essential to get the car running. Our tested, OEM unit is ready to be installed.
  • Hybrid Vehicle Transaxle (e-CVT): This is far more than a simple transmission. The e-CVT is a marvel of engineering, seamlessly blending power from the 2.4L petrol engine and the electric motors. If your transaxle has failed, this low-kilometre unit is the perfect replacement.
  • Electric Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor: A little-known fact about hybrids is that their air conditioning runs directly off the high-voltage system, not a belt from the engine. This means you cannot use a standard A/C compressor. We have the genuine electric compressor, ready to keep you cool during our hot Perth summers.

A Serious Note on Safety

Before we go any further, it is our professional responsibility to include a critical safety warning. The components of a hybrid drive system operate at extremely high voltages. Mishandling parts like the HV battery or inverter can result in serious injury or even death. We strongly advise and insist that these specialised parts are only purchased and installed by qualified, experienced hybrid vehicle technicians. Your safety is paramount. At WA Auto Parts, we sell the parts; we trust certified professionals to handle the installation.

More Than Just a Hybrid: Standard Camry Parts

While the hybrid system is the star, this vehicle is still a Toyota Camry, known for its quality parts all around.

  • 2.4L 2AZ-FXE Engine: This is the Atkinson cycle version of Toyota’s bulletproof 2.4L engine, designed specifically for hybrid efficiency. It’s in excellent running condition and is available as a complete unit.
  • Exterior Panels & Lights: The Dynamic Blue body panels, including the doors, bonnet, and boot lid, are in great condition. We also have the unique, blue-accented headlights and the stylish clear LED taillights that set the hybrid model apart from the standard Camry.
  • Interior Components: Inside, we have the full set of seats, the dashboard assembly, and the hybrid-specific instrument cluster with its real-time energy monitor. The push-button start system and all its related components are also available.
  • Wheels & Brakes: The vehicle features the original 16-inch alloy wheels, which are unique to the hybrid model. We also have the complete electronically controlled regenerative braking system, from the actuator to the calipers.

The WA Auto Parts Advantage

Why buy used parts from us? The answer is simple: trust, experience, and value.

With over 15 years of experience, we have built a reputation in Perth for being honest, reliable, and knowledgeable. We don’t just sell parts; we provide solutions.

Suzuki Swift 2017 Black Wrecking

Suzuki Swift 2017 Black Wrecking

In the world of automobiles, every car has a personality. Some are rugged adventurers, built for the rough tracks of the outback. Others are dependable workhorses, the backbone of businesses across our state. And then, there are cars like the Suzuki Swift. Zippy, stylish, and incredibly smart, the Swift is the quintessential modern city car. It’s the perfect companion for navigating the bustling streets of Perth, finding those impossibly tight parking spots in Leederville, and cruising down to Cottesloe on a sunny afternoon with remarkable fuel efficiency.

Here at WA Auto Parts, we’ve seen countless vehicles come through our gates over the last 15 years. Each one has a story. Today, we want to introduce you to our newest arrival, a vehicle whose story we are determined to continue: a sleek, 2017 Suzuki Swift in Super Black Pearl.

This car was clearly someone’s pride and joy. You can tell by the clean interior and the overall condition of the parts that it was well-loved. Unfortunately, a recent rear-end collision means its days on the road as a whole car are over. For many, this would be the end of the line. But for us, and for you, it’s an incredible opportunity. This Swift is about to become an organ donor, offering its high-quality, genuine parts to give dozens of other Swifts a new lease on life.

Welcome to WA Auto Parts, your leading used auto parts buyer, seller & wrecker right here in Perth, Western Australia. We offer you a one-stop used auto parts shop where you will find an array of used car parts at the lowest prices available. This 2017 Swift is a prime example of the value and quality we are passionate about providing to our community.

A Closer Look at Our Donor Swift

Suzuki Swift 2017 Black Wrecking

To ensure you get the exact part you need, details are everything. This isn’t just any Swift; it’s a specific model with a fantastic set of features.

  • Make: Suzuki
  • Model: Swift
  • Series: AZ (The modern 2017+ shape)
  • Year: 2017
  • Trim Level: GLX Turbo – This is the top-of-the-line model with all the best features!
  • Engine: 1.0L K10C Boosterjet Turbo – The sought-after, powerful, and efficient turbocharged engine.
  • Transmission: Automatic (CVT with Paddle Shifters)
  • Colour: Super Black Pearl
  • Odometer: A low 85,000 km – This means there is minimal wear on all mechanical and interior parts.

Now, let’s explore the treasure trove of components this generous vehicle is ready to share.

The Modern Soul: Interior & Technology

In a car from 2017, the technology inside is just as important as the engine. The GLX Turbo was packed with features, and these components are now available to repair or even upgrade your own Swift.

  • Infotainment System: Does your base model Swift have a simple radio? Here is your chance to upgrade. We have the complete 7-inch touchscreen infotainment unit from this GLX. This system features built-in Satellite Navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. It’s a plug-and-play way to completely modernize your car’s interior, giving you seamless access to maps, music, and messaging.
  • Seats & Trim: The GLX boasts supportive and stylish seats. If your driver’s seat is worn, stained, or torn, a replacement from this low-km vehicle will make your cabin feel brand new again. We have the complete front and rear set available.
  • Steering Wheel & Controls: The leather-wrapped steering wheel from the GLX is a joy to hold. It’s equipped with controls for audio, cruise control, and your phone. This is not just a replacement part; it’s an upgrade that adds functionality and a premium feel to your daily drive.
  • Safety Systems: Crucially, this vehicle sustained a rear impact, meaning the forward-facing airbags are intact and in perfect condition. We have the complete set of steering wheel, passenger dash, and curtain airbags available. Replacing deployed airbags with genuine OEM units is the only way to ensure your vehicle’s safety systems are restored to factory standards.
  • Instrument Cluster: The GLX features a premium instrument cluster with a central LCD information display. If your gauges are faulty or your screen is damaged, this is the perfect, tested replacement part.

Suzuki Swift 2017 Black Wrecking

The Heart of the Matter: Engine Bay & Mechanicals

The 1.0L Boosterjet Turbo engine is the star of the show in the GLX. It’s a marvel of modern engineering, providing the power of a larger engine while sipping fuel like a much smaller one.

  • Complete Engine Assembly: With only 85,000 km on the clock, this K10C Boosterjet engine is just getting started. If your Swift’s engine has failed, this low-kilometre, well-serviced unit is the perfect heart transplant. It’s a cost-effective solution that will provide years of reliable and punchy performance.
  • Automatic (CVT) Transmission: Replacing a modern CVT transmission can be an incredibly expensive job. Our unit is in excellent working order, ready to be fitted to your vehicle to solve any transmission woes you might be experiencing.
  • Turbocharger & Ancillaries: We can also supply the turbocharger, alternator, starter motor, and AC compressor individually. All these parts have been tested and are ready to get your car back to peak condition. A working air conditioner is non-negotiable in a Perth summer, and we have the genuine part to make it happen.

The Sleek Exterior: Body Panels

Finished in the stunning Super Black Pearl, the front-end panels of this Swift are in fantastic condition. This is a perfect opportunity to fix collision damage or cosmetic issues on your own black Swift, potentially saving you thousands on panel beating and respraying.

  • Doors, Bonnet, and Guards: We have both front doors, the bonnet, and the front guards available. They are straight, with their original factory paint in great condition.
  • Side Mirrors: The GLX model features electric-folding side mirrors with integrated LED indicators. This is another fantastic upgrade for a base model or a direct replacement for a damaged unit.
  • Headlights: This car is equipped with the premium LED projector headlights with Daytime Running Lights (DRLs). These provide superior night-time visibility and give the car a sharp, modern look. If you have a damaged halogen headlight, this is the ultimate upgrade.

The Foundation: Wheels, Brakes & Suspension

  • 16-Inch Alloy Wheels: The GLX Turbo rides on a set of beautiful two-tone 16-inch alloy wheels. If you’re tired of the steel wheels on your base model, this set of four alloys (complete with quality tyres) will instantly transform the look of your car. They are a direct fit for any AZ series Swift.
  • Brakes & Suspension: All the suspension components, from the front struts to the rear shocks, are in excellent, low-km condition. We also have the complete brake assemblies, including calipers and discs, ready to go.

Nissan Navara 2009 White Wrecking

Nissan Navara 2009 White Wrecking

Here at WA Auto Parts, we see stories every day. They roll into our Perth yard not on four wheels, but on the back of a tow truck. These aren’t just collections of steel, plastic, and glass; they are the vessels of countless memories, the silent partners in daily life. They’ve been on the school run, the long-haul drive up to the Pilbara, the weekend trip down to Margaret River, and the daily grind across the city. For over 15 years, our passion has been to ensure that the end of one vehicle’s road is just the beginning of a new chapter for many others.

Welcome to WA Auto Parts, your leading used auto parts buyer, seller & wrecker in Perth, Western Australia. We pride ourselves on being the one-stop used auto parts shop where you’ll find an incredible array of used car parts at the lowest prices available. And today, we want to share the story of our newest arrival: a tough, honest, 2009 White Nissan Navara.

This isn’t just any ute. The Nissan Navara, especially the D40 model, is woven into the very fabric of Australian life. It’s the tradie’s mobile office, the adventurer’s getaway vehicle, and the reliable family workhorse. This particular 2009 model, finished in classic white, has clearly lived a life of purpose. You can see it in the solid build and the components that still hum with potential. It has faced an unfortunate end to its life as a whole vehicle, but its spirit and its strongest parts are now ready to serve the West Australian community.

Think of it as an organ donor. While the main body can no longer continue, its vital parts – the strong heart of an engine, the sturdy limbs of its suspension, the clear eyes of its headlights – can give a new lease on life to other Navaras out there.

A Closer Look: The Specs of Our Donor Vehicle

Nissan Navara 2009 White Wrecking

Before we dive into the treasure trove of parts this Navara has to offer, let’s get specific. Understanding the exact model is crucial for ensuring you get the perfect part for your vehicle.

  • Make: Nissan
  • Model: Navara
  • Series: D40 (Thai Built) – This is critical for parts compatibility.
  • Year: 2009
  • Colour: White
  • Body Style: Dual Cab
  • Engine: 2.5L YD25DDTi Turbo Diesel – The legendary, torque-heavy heart of so many Navaras.
  • Transmission: 6-Speed Manual
  • Drivetrain: 4×4
  • Odometer: Approximately 210,000 km – Plenty of life left in these mechanicals.

Now, let’s walk through what this generous donor has to offer.

The Heartbeat: Engine Bay & Mechanical Components

The YD25 engine is a legend for a reason. It’s the powerhouse that has hauled trailers, climbed dunes, and reliably started every morning for years. We are currently assessing the complete engine assembly from this Navara. If your ute is feeling tired, has high kilometres, or has suffered a catastrophic failure, this complete engine could be the most cost-effective and reliable transplant you could ask for. It’s a genuine, factory-spec heart waiting to beat in a new chest.

But it’s not just about the whole engine. We know that sometimes you only need a specific component.

  • Turbocharger & Intercooler: Is your Navara feeling sluggish or blowing smoke? A faulty turbo could be the culprit. A quality, tested OEM turbo from our donor vehicle can restore that power and performance without the breathtaking cost of a brand-new unit.
  • Gearbox & Transfer Case: The 6-speed manual gearbox in this D40 is a robust unit. If you’re dealing with grinding gears or a slipping clutch has caused internal damage, a complete replacement gearbox is a straightforward fix. For the 4×4 enthusiasts, the transfer case is also available, ready to get you back out on the tracks.
  • Ancillaries: Often, it’s the smaller parts that bring a vehicle to a standstill. We have the tested alternator, the powerful starter motor, the essential AC compressor (a must-have for our summers!), and the radiator and fan assembly all ready to go. Don’t let a small failure cause a big headache – we have the OEM solution.

Nissan Navara 2009 White Wrecking

The Tough Exterior: Body Panels & More

A work ute will inevitably pick up a few battle scars. A misplaced forklift tine, a tight multi-story car park, or a stray shopping trolley can leave a lasting mark. This is where our 2009 Navara can help restore your vehicle’s pride.

  • Ute Tub & Tailgate: The business end of the Navara often sees the most action. Our donor vehicle has a straight and solid ute tub, a perfect replacement for one that’s been dented or damaged. The tailgate is also in great condition, ready to be bolted on.
  • Doors & Guards: We have all four doors from this dual cab available. They are straight, finished in white, and could be the simplest way to fix a significant side scrape. The front guards are also ready for a new home.
  • Side Steps & Mirrors: A broken side step or a smashed side mirror is a common occurrence. These are essential for both safety and convenience, and we can supply you with quality, original replacements.

The Foundation: 4WD, Suspension & Wheels

For a 4×4, the underpinnings are everything. This is what connects you to the road, or the dirt track.

  • Differentials: We have the complete front and rear differentials available. If you’re hearing a whine or a clunk from your drivetrain, this could be the fix you need to drive with confidence again.
  • Leaf Springs: Has your Navara’s rear end started to sag after years of carrying heavy loads? A set of genuine leaf springs with moderate use from this donor vehicle can restore your ride height and load-carrying capacity.
  • Wheels & Tyres: The vehicle is sitting on a set of factory 17-inch alloy wheels. These could be a fantastic upgrade from steel wheels or a replacement for a damaged rim. We’ll also assess the tyres for tread depth and condition.

The Command Centre: Interior Components

You spend a lot of time inside your vehicle; it should be a comfortable and functional space. Years of use can lead to worn seats, broken switches, and tired-looking trim.

  • Seats: The driver’s seat, in particular, often shows the most wear. We have the full set of seats from this dual cab, which can instantly refresh your entire cabin.
  • Dashboard & Instrument Cluster: Are your gauges acting up? Is the speedometer intermittent? A faulty instrument cluster is a common issue, but a replacement from our donor vehicle is a simple, plug-and-play solution.
  • Accessories & Controls: From the steering wheel and centre console to the stereo head unit and the electric window switches, we are carefully dismantling the entire interior to provide you with the exact part you need to get everything working as it should.

Honda CRV 2008 Grey Wrecking

Honda CRV 2008 Grey Wrecking

For over 15 years, here at WA Auto Parts, nestled right here in Perth, Western Australia, we’ve been passionate about more than just cars – we’re dedicated to giving vehicles a second chapter. We believe that even when a car’s journey on the road comes to an unexpected halt, its story doesn’t have to end there. That’s why we’ve built our business on being your leading used auto parts buyer, seller, and wrecker, offering a treasure trove of pre-loved components for all sorts of vehicles.

Today, we want to introduce you to our latest arrival: a 2008 Grey Honda CR-V. Now, this trusty SUV has seen better days. Maybe it was a sudden downpour that led to a slippery situation, or perhaps an unexpected encounter on the bustling streets of Perth. Whatever the reason, this particular CR-V has unfortunately reached the point where a complete repair just isn’t the most viable option.

But here at WA Auto Parts, we don’t see a write-off; we see a wealth of valuable resources. We see perfectly good parts that can breathe new life into another Honda CR-V, or perhaps even another make and model. This 2008 grey beauty, a familiar sight on Australian roads, still has so much to offer.

More Than Just Scrap: The Potential Within

This isn’t just about dismantling a vehicle; it’s about carefully assessing each component, ensuring that anything still in good working order gets a chance to live again. This particular 2008 Honda CR-V, a third-generation model known for its reliability and practicality, was actually quite well-maintained before its recent mishap. While we’re still in the process of our thorough inspection, we can already tell that many of its parts are in excellent condition, just waiting for a new home.

Under the bonnet, we find a robust 2.4L K24Z1 i-VTEC petrol engine. These engines are known for their longevity and smooth performance, and we’ll be meticulously checking its condition. Perhaps your own CR-V of a similar vintage is starting to show its age, and a replacement engine with fewer kilometers could be the perfect solution to keep you on the road. We’ll also be examining the 5-speed automatic transmission, another crucial component that could save someone a significant amount compared to a brand-new unit.

Honda CRV 2008 Grey Wrecking

Peeling Back the Layers: What Treasures Lie Within?

The exterior, though bearing some marks of its recent experience (we believe it sustained some front-end impact), still holds a surprising number of usable parts. The doors, for instance, particularly the rear passenger side, appear to be in great shape. If your CR-V has suffered a dent or scrape, one of these could be a direct and cost-effective replacement. The tailgate, complete with its glass and even the wiper motor, is another potentially valuable piece. Let’s face it, accidents happen, and a damaged tailgate can be a real inconvenience.

While the front bumper took the brunt of the impact, the rear bumper might just be what someone needs to tidy up their vehicle’s appearance. We’ll also be carefully checking the condition of the headlights and taillights. Replacing damaged lighting units is crucial for safety, and a genuine OEM part from this 2008 model could be a perfect match. And for those who appreciate a bit of extra practicality, the roof racks or rails might still be in excellent condition, ready for your next adventure.

Stepping inside, even with the signs of its final journey, reveals a wealth of interior components. The seats, whether they’re the durable cloth or a more premium leather option, could be a fantastic upgrade or replacement for worn or damaged upholstery in another CR-V. The dashboard assembly, instrument cluster, and centre console are all items we’ll be carefully inspecting. A faulty instrument cluster can be a real headache, and a genuine replacement can save you from costly dealership repairs.

Don’t overlook the smaller details either! The steering wheel (we’ll check the airbag status meticulously), glove box, and even the interior door panels could be just the part someone needs to complete their repair or restoration project. And who knows, the original floor mats might even be in good enough condition to spruce up another vehicle’s interior!

Honda CRV 2008 Grey Wrecking

From Wheels to Wiring: No Part Too Small

We’ll also be taking a close look at the mechanical and drivetrain components. Beyond the engine and transmission, the alternator, starter motor, and even the air conditioning compressor could still have plenty of life left in them. With the Perth heat, a functioning AC system is non-negotiable! The radiator and cooling fans are also critical for keeping your engine running smoothly, and we’ll be assessing their condition.

The power steering rack and pump, driveshafts, axles, and even parts of the exhaust system will be carefully evaluated. Depending on the nature of the accident, these components can often remain perfectly functional.

And let’s not forget the wheels and suspension! This 2008 CR-V likely rides on a set of alloy wheels (we’ll specify the size and condition once inspected), which could be a great upgrade or replacement for someone. We’ll also check the tyres, noting the brand, size, and approximate tread depth. Even a single good tyre can be a lifesaver in an emergency. The suspension struts, control arms, hubs, and bearings will all be examined for wear and tear.

Subaru outback 2009 White Wrecking

Subaru outback 2009 White Wrecking

In the world of cars, some models are simply transport, while others become part of the family. They’re a trusted companion for the daily commute, the weekend hardware store run, and the long-haul holiday trip down to Margaret River. Here in Western Australia, the Subaru Outback, particularly the third-generation (BP) model, is one of those cars. It’s a true automotive Swiss Army knife, and for over 15 years, our team at WA Auto Parts has developed a deep respect for its clever engineering and enduring practicality.

As Perth’s leading used auto parts buyer, seller, and wrecker, we see vehicles from every corner of the globe—Japanese, European, Australian, you name it. But there’s always a special kind of excitement when a vehicle with a true cult following like this Outback rolls into our yard.

Today, we invite you to join us as we get acquainted with our latest arrival: a 2009 Subaru Outback Premium in Satin White Pearl. Its life as a complete car has come to an end, but its journey is far from over. This is a story of preservation, of carefully salvaging the best components to help keep dozens of other beloved Subarus on the Perth roads where they belong.

Subaru outback 2009 White Wrecking

The Assessment & The Elephant in the Room

This 2009 Outback didn’t arrive with the quiet burble of its signature boxer engine. It was towed in, a non-runner with a story familiar to many Subaru enthusiasts—a suspected engine issue. To the uninitiated, this might seem like the end of the line. For our experienced technicians, it’s simply the first chapter.

The initial walk-around is a meticulous process. We’re not just looking for damage; we’re looking for potential. The Satin White Pearl paint, though showing signs of a 15-year life, still held a deep lustre. The passenger side panels were straight, the rear bumper and tailgate were undamaged, and the factory alloy wheels were all in good shape.

Then we moved to the Subaru-specific details. The frameless windows on all four doors—a hallmark of this generation—retracted smoothly. We tested the enormous factory sunroof, and it tilted and slid open without a single stutter. Inside, the cabin was a time capsule. The full black leather interior was immaculate, the MOMO steering wheel showed minimal wear, and the premium 6-stacker CD player powered on, ready to play.

Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: the engine. The EJ25 boxer engine in this generation is a fantastic motor, but it has a known Achilles’ heel: the head gaskets. Our diagnostics confirmed this was likely the cause of the failure. Many wreckers might just label the engine as scrap, but that’s not how we do things at WA Auto Parts.

We understand the value in every component. While we would never sell this engine as a running “drop-in” unit, we recognise it as a treasure trove of parts for DIY mechanics and professional workshops. The engine block itself is sound, the heads are perfect candidates for reconditioning, and every single ancillary part—the alternator, the power steering pump, the A/C compressor, the ignition coils, the sensors—is a tested, working component ready to solve another Subaru owner’s problem. This transparency is fundamental to our business; we believe our customers deserve to know exactly what they are buying.

Harvesting the Best Components: The Premium Experience

With the assessment complete, our team began the careful process of dismantling, preserving the best parts that make this Premium model so desirable.

The Interior Upgrade Package: One of the first things we did was remove the complete interior. For an owner of a base model Outback or Liberty wagon, this car represents a complete luxury upgrade. We salvaged:

  • The Full Leather Seats: Heated front seats and a clean rear bench, all carefully removed and wrapped to protect them.
  • The MOMO Steering Wheel: A genuine, leather-wrapped wheel with integrated audio and cruise controls, offering a much more premium feel.
  • The Premium Audio & Climate System: The 6-stacker head unit and the dual-zone automatic climate control unit were both tested and removed, ready for a plug-and-play installation into a compatible vehicle.
  • The Sunroof Assembly: This is a major prize. We removed the entire sunroof cassette—the glass, the motor, the tracks, and the headliner. It’s a complex but highly sought-after part.

Symmetrical AWD Gold: While the engine had an issue, the rest of the drivetrain was bulletproof. The 4-speed Sportshift automatic transmission was smooth and responsive before the engine failed. We drained its fluid, which was clean and free of contaminants—a great sign. The transmission, along with the tailshaft, driveshafts, and the famously robust rear differential, were all carefully removed. These are the core components of Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, and having a supply of tested, reliable parts is essential for keeping these cars safe and capable on the road.

Body, Glass, and Wheels: The straight, undamaged panels from the passenger side and rear were meticulously unbolted. The tailgate, complete with its spoiler and wiper, was taken off. The unique frameless door glass panels were removed and inspected for scratches before being put into inventory. Finally, the set of factory 17-inch alloy wheels were taken off, cleaned, and are now ready to replace a damaged set or upgrade an older model.

The Value Proposition: A Smart Choice for a Modern Classic

Why buy used parts for a car that’s over 15 years old? For owners of these modern classics, it’s the smartest choice you can make.

Firstly, there’s the cost. A new part from a dealer, if it’s even still available, can cost a fortune. A quality, tested OEM part from us costs a fraction of that price. Secondly, it’s about authenticity. A genuine Subaru part is guaranteed to fit and function exactly as it was designed to, something that can’t always be said for cheaper, aftermarket alternatives.

Finally, it’s the most sustainable option. Every part we salvage is one less part that needs to be manufactured, saving an enormous amount of energy and raw materials. By choosing used parts, you are actively participating in a circular economy, reducing waste and preserving our environment.

A Catalogue of Opportunities from This 2009 Outback

This single vehicle has now yielded a huge inventory of high-quality parts. Here is just a partial list of what is now available on our shelves:

  • Interior: Full Black Leather Interior (Heated Fronts), MOMO Steering Wheel, Sunroof Assembly, Premium Head Unit, Dual-Zone Climate Control.
  • Drivetrain: 4-Speed Automatic Transmission, Rear Differential, Driveshafts, Axles.
  • Engine Components: Alternator, A/C Compressor, Power Steering Pump, Intake Manifold, Coils, Sensors. (Engine block/heads available for rebuilders).
  • Exterior: Passenger Doors, Tailgate, Rear Bumper, Roof Rails, Alloy Wheels.
  • Suspension & Brakes: Struts, Shocks, Control Arms, Brake Calipers.

We are your one-stop shop for used auto parts, covering an immense range of Japanese, Korean, Australian, European, and American cars, trucks, utes, and vans.

Ford Ranger 2016 White Wrecking

Ford Ranger 2016 White Wrecking

Here in Western Australia, some vehicles are more than just transport. They are tools, business partners, and tickets to adventure. They’re part of the landscape, caked in Pilbara red dust or navigating the tight laneways of a Perth worksite. Right at the top of that list is the Ford Ranger. It’s the undisputed king of the modern ute, a machine built for hard yakka and weekend escapes.

But what happens when a workhorse can no longer run the race? For over 15 years, WA Auto Parts has been answering that question. We believe that even when a vehicle’s journey on the road is over, its best parts deserve a second life. We are Perth’s leading used auto parts buyer, seller, and wrecker because we see the potential and value where others might only see a wreck.

Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on our process. Come and join us in the yard as we introduce our latest arrival: a 2016 Ford Ranger PX MkII. This isn’t a eulogy for a written-off ute; it’s the origin story for hundreds of high-quality, affordable parts that will keep other Rangers on the road for years to come. Welcome to the one-stop shop where value and reliability meet.

The Assessment: More Than Just a “Wreck”

This Cool White Dual Cab Ranger didn’t arrive under its own power. It came to us as a statutory write-off, the unfortunate victim of a rollover. To the average person, the buckled roof and pillars told a terminal story. But for our team, this is where the treasure hunt begins.

Our senior technician, Dave, grabbed his clipboard and began his methodical walk-around. This is a critical first step honed by years of experience dismantling everything from Japanese Kei cars to American muscle. It’s an automotive autopsy, determining what can be saved and given a new purpose.

“The roof’s a goner, obviously,” he started, making a note. “But look lower down.” He ran a hand along the driver’s side doors. “Straight as a die. No impact here. Glass is good, mirror’s intact.”

He continued his circuit. The front end? Untouched. The powerful turbo diesel engine sat there, seemingly unfazed by the drama above it. The rear tub had a few scratches in the liner—signs of an honest working life—but the tailgate was straight, the handle functional, and the reversing camera was still perfectly in place. The interior, protected from the main impact, was in remarkable condition.

This initial assessment is everything. It allows us to see beyond the damage and build a clear picture of the life left in the vehicle. This Ranger wasn’t just a wreck; it was a goldmine of genuine Ford components, and our job was to harvest them with the care and precision they deserved.

Ford Ranger 2016 White Wrecking

The Drivetrain: Harvesting the Heart

For any Ranger owner, the heart of the beast is the legendary P5AT 5-cylinder turbo diesel engine. It’s the reason so many people buy these utes—for its low-down torque, its reliability, and its towing muscle. Securing a healthy one is our top priority.

Before a single spanner touches the engine bay, the real work begins. We hooked up our advanced diagnostic scanner to the OBD-II port, checking for any stored fault codes in the engine’s ECU. The report came back clean—a fantastic sign.

Next, the crucial test. We checked the fluids, connected a temporary fuel source, and turned the key. The 3.2L engine fired into life instantly with that distinctive 5-cylinder grumble. We let it run, bringing it up to operating temperature, listening intently for any unusual noises, watching for any smoke from the exhaust, and ensuring it held a steady idle. It performed flawlessly. With just over 112,000 km on the clock, this engine was just getting warmed up.

The same rigorous testing was applied to the 6-speed automatic transmission. We engaged all gears—Drive, Reverse, Sport mode—ensuring each shift was smooth and decisive. The 4×4 system was also checked, engaging the transfer case into 4-High and 4-Low to confirm its perfect operation.

Only after passing every single one of these tests did we give the green light. Our mechanical team then began the painstaking process of disconnecting the wiring harnesses, fluid lines, and mounts. The entire engine, transmission, and transfer case assembly was lifted cleanly from the chassis. This complete, tested, and warrantied drivetrain is now ready to be the solution for someone facing a catastrophic engine failure or a costly transmission rebuild, potentially saving them thousands of dollars.

Ford Ranger 2016 White Wrecking

Beyond the Engine: Salvaging the Best Bits

With the mechanical heart safely removed, our focus shifted to the rest of the vehicle. A modern ute is a complex puzzle of electronics, durable panels, and comfortable interiors, and we salvage it all.

The Tub, Tailgate, and Exterior Panels: A damaged ute tub is a common sight on Perth worksites. A replacement from the dealer can be eye-wateringly expensive. This Ranger offered up a perfectly straight well body, complete with a factory plastic liner and tie-down points. The tailgate, with its integrated handle and camera, was removed and is ready to go. The four doors, all undamaged, were carefully unbolted. We sell them as complete units (with glass, window regulators, and speakers) or as bare shells, giving our customers maximum flexibility.

The Tech and Interior Comforts: The work ute of today is a mobile office. This Ranger was an XLT model, equipped with the desirable SYNC 2 infotainment system. The 8-inch touch screen, the command centre for navigation, audio, and phone calls, was tested and removed with its corresponding modules. This is a hugely popular upgrade for owners of lower-spec models with the basic radio.

The interior itself was immaculate. We salvaged:

  • A complete set of seats: Clean, supportive, and free from rips.
  • The steering wheel: With all its buttons for cruise control and audio fully functional.
  • The entire dashboard assembly and centre console: Providing a massive range of parts, from air vents and switches to the console bin and lid.

These parts are perfect for refreshing a tired interior that’s seen a few too many dusty boots and spilled coffees.

Wheels, Suspension, and Brakes: A full set of genuine Ford XLT alloy wheels were removed. While they had minor marks, they were straight and fitted with decent all-terrain tyres. The standard suspension—front struts and rear leaf springs—was also in great condition, perfect for an owner looking to return their modified ute to stock specifications.

The Result: From One Ute, A Thousand Solutions

The process is now complete. The bare shell of the white Ranger, stripped of all its value, will be responsibly depolluted and sent for recycling. But its legacy is now sitting on our shelves, catalogued and ready.

What was once a single, written-off vehicle has been transformed into hundreds of individual solutions. The tested engine will bring another Ranger back to life. The straight door will fix an accident victim’s ute. The SYNC 2 screen will bring modern tech to an older model. This is the essence of what we do at WA Auto Parts. It’s the most sustainable, cost-effective, and intelligent way to keep the vehicles of Western Australia moving.

We specialize in parts for a massive range of Japanese, European, Australian, Korean, and American cars, trucks, SUVs, 4WDs, vans, and dual cabs. This Ford Ranger is just one example of the quality and care we put into every vehicle we process.

Kia Rio 2012 Red Wrecking

Kia Rio 2012 Red Wrecking

Every car has a story. It’s written in the scuffs on the door sill, the faint coffee ring on the centre console, and the odometer’s steadily climbing numbers. For some cars, that story ends abruptly. A bad turn, a mechanical failure, an unfortunate collision. But at WA Auto Parts, we believe that the end of one story is simply the beginning of many others. It’s a belief we’ve built our reputation on for over 15 years here in Perth.

Today, we want to take you behind the scenes and share the journey of one such vehicle: a vibrant Signal Red 2012 Kia Rio that recently rolled into our yard. This isn’t a story of loss, but one of transformation—of turning a “wreck” into a valuable resource for drivers all across Western Australia.

Welcome to WA Auto Parts, your leading used auto parts buyer, seller & wrecker in Perth. We’re more than just a shop; we are automotive recyclers. We see the potential in every vehicle, whether it’s Japanese, European, Australian, Korean, or American. From sedans and SUVs to 4WDs and commercial vans, our mission is to give quality components a second life. This little red Kia Rio is a perfect example of our process in action. So, grab a cuppa, and let’s get our hands dirty.

The Arrival and Initial Assessment

When this 2012 Kia Rio (UB series) arrived at our Maddington facility, it was clear its days as a complete car were over. It had sustained a significant front-end impact. The bonnet was crumpled like a piece of paper, the radiator support was pushed in, and the driver’s side headlight was shattered. To an untrained eye, it looked like a write-off destined for the crusher.

But for our experienced team, this is where the real work begins. This is a treasure hunt.

Our lead technician, Dave—who has probably dismantled more cars than most people have owned—began the initial assessment. This is a meticulous, almost forensic process. He walked the perimeter, his eyes scanning every panel, every piece of trim, every pane of glass.

“The front is a loss, no doubt,” he noted, clipboard in hand. “But look here.” He pointed to the passenger side. “The door is straight. No dings. The mirror assembly is perfect, indicator and all. The rear passenger door? Same story. That’s good news for a Rio owner who’s been sideswiped in a car park.”

He moved to the rear. The tailgate was untouched, the spoiler still glossy, and the rear glass intact. The tail lights were pristine, and the rear bumper had only the lightest of scuffs, easily polished out. The odometer read just over 145,000 kilometres—relatively low for its age. This told us that the parts that weren’t involved in the collision likely have plenty of life left in them.

This initial walk-around is critical. It allows us to build a preliminary inventory and understand the car’s potential. It’s the difference between seeing a wreck and seeing a dozen future repairs for other Kia owners at a fraction of the cost of new parts.

Kia Rio 2012 Red Wrecking

The Teardown: Stage 1 – Rescuing the Interior

Once the assessment is complete, the careful process of dismantling begins. We always start with the interior. It’s the most delicate part of the car, and preserving its condition is paramount.

The cabin of this Rio was in surprisingly excellent shape. The seats, both front and rear, were free of tears and significant stains. With a professional clean, they would look nearly new. Our team carefully unbolted them, wrapped them in protective plastic, and catalogued them for inventory. A complete set of seats in this condition is a fantastic find for someone looking to upgrade a worn-out interior.

Next came the dashboard and centre console. This is intricate work. You can’t just pull and rip. Every screw, every hidden clip, every wiring harness has to be disconnected with precision. The goal is to remove the entire assembly without a single crack or scratch. We salvaged:

  • The Head Unit: A standard factory CD player/radio, fully functional. Perfect for someone whose original unit has failed.
  • The Steering Wheel: The airbag was intact (a crucial safety check), and the steering wheel-mounted audio controls were in perfect working order.
  • The Instrument Cluster: Clean, clear, and fully operational, ready to be transplanted.
  • The Centre Console, Door Cards, and Trim: Every piece was carefully removed, cleaned, and inspected. Even small parts like window switches and gear knobs are saved, because we know from experience that these are the exact items that break and frustrate drivers every day.

By the end of Stage 1, the car’s cabin was a bare metal shell, but our shelves were stocked with high-quality, affordable interior parts ready to give another Kia Rio a new lease on life.

Kia Rio 2012 Red Wrecking

The Teardown: Stage 2 – Panels, Lights, and Glass

With the delicate interior safe, we moved to the exterior. This is where the contrast between the damaged and the pristine becomes even more apparent.

The undamaged passenger-side doors were removed with care, complete with their internal mechanisms—window regulators, speakers, and locking actuators. We test every single component before it gets our seal of approval. The electric side mirror was also removed, its motor tested and its casing polished.

The tailgate was next. Removing a modern tailgate is a two-person job. It’s heavy and contains complex wiring for the rear wiper, brake light, and licence plate lights. We disconnected it all carefully before unbolting the hinges. This single assembly provides a dozen potential spare parts.

Finally, the lighting. The rear tail light assemblies were perfect—no cracks, no moisture ingress. They were unbolted, their bulbs checked, and the units were cleaned and prepared for sale. These are high-demand items, as a minor rear-end tap can easily cost hundreds of dollars in new parts and labour. Offering a perfect, used original equipment (OEM) part for a fraction of that price is what WA Auto Parts is all about.

The Teardown: Stage 3 – The Mechanical Heart

This is the final and most technical stage. The front-end collision meant the radiator and A/C condenser were beyond saving. However, the engine and transmission, set back from the initial impact zone, looked promising.

Our mechanics performed a series of diagnostic tests. We checked the engine oil for metal shavings and the transmission fluid for any signs of burning. Everything looked clean. The engine, a reliable petrol unit (), was deemed a good candidate for salvage, either as a complete unit or for its valuable components.

The engine and transmission were carefully disconnected from the driveshafts, exhaust, and wiring loom and lifted out of the engine bay as a single unit. Once on the stand, we could harvest the “bolt-on” components that are always in demand:

  • Alternator
  • Starter Motor
  • A/C Compressor
  • Ignition Coils
  • Throttle Body

The 4-speed automatic transmission was separated and inspected, proving to be in excellent condition. For someone facing a costly transmission rebuild, a guaranteed, low-kilometre used unit like this can save them thousands.

The wheels, a set of four factory alloys, were also removed. They had some minor curb rash, as expected, but were straight and true. After a good clean, they represent a fantastic upgrade for someone with basic steel wheels.

Kia Rio 2012 Red Wrecking

The Result: From One Car, Many Solutions

The journey of this red Kia Rio is now complete. What was once a single, damaged vehicle has been transformed into hundreds of individual solutions. The empty shell will be responsibly depolluted and sent for metal recycling, ensuring nothing goes to waste.

But its best parts live on. The straight passenger door will fix another family’s car. The pristine tail light will help someone pass their roadworthy inspection. The reliable alternator will get a commuter back on the road.

This is the power of automotive recycling. It’s environmentally responsible, it’s sustainable, and it provides incredible value to our customers. It’s a win-win-win, and it’s the core of everything we do at WA Auto Parts.

Mini Cooper 2007 Red Wrecking

Mini Cooper 2007 Red Wrecking

Some cars are appliances, designed to move you from A to B with as little drama as possible. The Mini Cooper is not one of those cars. The Mini is an experience. It’s a shot of adrenaline on a mundane commute, a flash of personality in a sea of beige sedans. It’s the cheeky grin, the iconic design, and that legendary “go-kart handling” that plasters a smile on your face every time you tackle a corner. Owning a Mini is being part of a culture, a community of “MINIacs” who understand that driving should be, above all else, fun.

Its journey as a complete car ended due to a front-end collision. While unfortunate, this scenario is ideal for recycling.

Toyota corolla 2011 Grey Wrecking

Toyota corolla 2011 Grey Wrecking

In the world of motoring, some cars shout for attention with flashy designs and roaring engines. And then, there’s the Toyota Corolla. It’s the quiet achiever, the unsung hero of Australian roads. It’s the car that starts every single morning without fuss, gets you to work through the thickest traffic, handles the school run with ease, and never asks for much in return. It’s not just a car; for thousands of families in Perth, it’s the dependable, ever-present backbone of daily life.

Here at WA Auto Parts, we have a profound respect for that kind of reliability. For over 15 years, we have built our business on the very same principles: trust, dependability, and providing outstanding value. As Perth’s leading auto parts buyer, seller, and wrecker, our mission is to help you keep these heroes on the road. We believe that a quality repair shouldn’t cost a fortune, and there is no smarter way to maintain a car like a Corolla than with genuine, recycled parts.

That’s why we’re excited to walk you through our latest arrival. It’s a vehicle that represents the pinnacle of reliability and a treasure trove of opportunity for Corolla owners: a 2011 Toyota Corolla ZRE152 in a sleek graphite grey.

The Story of a Trusted Companion

This particular Corolla, a 2011 Conquest 5-door hatchback, has lived a full life on Perth’s roads. With 155,000 kilometres on the odometer, it has faithfully navigated everything from the Kwinana Freeway during rush hour to weekend trips down to Mandurah. It’s a perfect example of a car that has been well-used but also well-cared for.

Toyota corolla 2011 Grey Wrecking

Its journey as a whole vehicle concluded due to a side-impact collision on the driver’s side. While this damage rendered the car a statutory write-off, it’s a best-case scenario for auto recycling. The entire front end, including the legendary engine, the rear of the vehicle, and the entire passenger side, remain completely unscathed. This means a huge inventory of pristine, undamaged parts is now available.

Let’s look at the specifications of this fantastic donor vehicle:

  • Make: Toyota
  • Model: Corolla Conquest
  • Year: 2011
  • Series: ZRE152
  • Body Style: 5-Door Hatchback
  • Colour: Graphite Grey (Paint Code: 1G3)
  • Engine: $1.8L 2ZR-FE Petrol
  • Transmission: 4-Speed Automatic
  • Odometer: 155,000 km

Our team has already meticulously inspected this vehicle, and we’re ready to help you find the exact part you need. Give us a call anytime at (08) 9358 1392.

The Heart of Reliability: The $1.8L 2ZR-FE Engine

If there was a hall of fame for automotive engines, the Toyota 2ZR-FE would be a first-ballot inductee. This $1.8L, 4-cylinder engine is the reason Corollas are famous for reaching 300,000, 400,000, or even 500,000 kilometres. It’s a masterpiece of simple, robust engineering, featuring a timing chain (not a belt that needs costly replacement) and a design honed over decades.

At WA Auto Parts, we don’t just assume it’s good because it’s a Toyota. We prove it. Our technicians have thoroughly tested this engine. It started instantly, idled with perfect smoothness, and revved cleanly with no smoke, leaks, or hesitations. It runs as well today as it did the day it left the factory.

Available Engine & Mechanical Parts:

  • Complete 2ZR-FE Engine Assembly: With just 155,000 km, this engine is barely broken in. It’s the perfect heart transplant for a Corolla with a tired or failed engine, offering you hundreds of thousands of kilometres of future worry-free motoring.
  • 4-Speed Automatic Transmission: This is reliability you can feel. No complex dual-clutches or CVTs, just a solid, conventional automatic that we’ve tested to ensure it shifts smoothly through all gears.
  • Engine Ancillaries: We have the full suite of genuine Denso and Aisin parts that Toyota is famous for, including the alternator, starter motor, AC compressor (tested and cold), radiator, and all associated sensors and wiring.

Restoring the Look: Panels, Lights, and Exterior Trim

A minor bingle shouldn’t mean driving a dented car forever, and it certainly shouldn’t mean paying a fortune at a body shop. Because of the nature of the damage to this Corolla, we have a huge range of perfect, factory-painted panels.

  • Front End: The bonnet, front bumper, and front-left guard are all in excellent, undamaged condition.
  • Passenger Side: The front and rear passenger-side doors are straight and complete with glass and internals.
  • Rear End: The tailgate (hatch) and rear bumper are also in fantastic shape, offering an easy and affordable fix for a common rear-end nudge.
  • Lights & Mirrors: The headlights are clear and bright, not faded or yellowed. The tail lights are uncracked, and the passenger-side mirror is fully functional. Finding parts in this popular Graphite Grey colour is a major win for any owner needing a cosmetic repair.

A Clean & Tidy Cabin: Interior Components

The interior of the Corolla is designed for one thing: to last. This Conquest model features comfortable, durable seating and quality plastics that hold up brilliantly to the WA sun.

  • Seats: The full set of front and rear seats are clean, free of rips, and ready to be installed.
  • Dashboard & Console: The entire dashboard assembly, instrument cluster, and centre console are in excellent condition. This is perfect for replacing sun-damaged or cracked components.
  • Steering Wheel: As a Conquest model, it features a steering wheel with integrated audio controls – a great upgrade for an Ascent owner.
  • Wheels: This vehicle is equipped with a full set of 16-inch genuine Toyota Conquest alloy wheels. This is one of the most popular upgrades for Corolla owners with standard steel wheels, instantly improving the look of the car.

Volkswagen polo 2011 Red Wrecking

Volkswagen polo 2011 Red Wrecking

There’s something special about a well-made European hatchback. It’s a combination of clever design, solid build quality, and a driving experience that feels a cut above the rest. Here in Australia, the Volkswagen Polo has long been a champion of this ethos. It’s the car that proves “small” doesn’t have to mean “basic.” It’s for the driver who appreciates German engineering, sharp handling, and a touch of class in their daily commute.

At WA Auto Parts, we share that appreciation for quality engineering. For over 15 years, we have been Perth’s most trusted source for used auto parts, building our reputation on expertise, honesty, and an unmatched inventory. While we are a one-stop shop for Japanese, Australian, Korean, and American vehicles, our team has a special passion for European cars. We understand their complexities, their common issues, and most importantly, the immense value locked away in their components.

Today, we’re pulling the cover off a fantastic new arrival that’s sure to get the attention of VW owners across Western Australia: a vibrant “Flash Red” 2011 Volkswagen Polo 6R.

A Story of City Life: Meet Our 2011 Polo Donor

This isn’t just an anonymous car on a hoist; it’s a vehicle with a story. This 5-door 2011 Polo 77TSI Comfortline was a zippy and efficient city navigator. You can imagine it darting through Perth traffic, making parking a breeze, and providing a safe, solid cocoon for its owner. With its advanced turbocharged engine and quick-shifting DSG gearbox, it represented the best of modern compact car technology.

Volkswagen polo 2011 Red Wrecking

Its journey as a whole car came to an end due to a common and notoriously expensive issue: a fault in the DSG mechatronics unit. For the previous owner, the repair bill was prohibitive. For the wider Perth VW community, it’s a golden opportunity. Because the rest of the car—from its healthy engine to its pristine panels and immaculate interior—is perfectly preserved and ready to give a new lease on life to other Polos.

Here are the vital statistics of this donor vehicle:

  • Make: Volkswagen
  • Model: Polo Comfortline
  • Year: 2011
  • Series: 6R
  • Body Style: 5-Door Hatchback
  • Colour: Flash Red
  • Engine: $1.2L TSI (Turbocharged Stratified Injection)
  • Transmission: 7-Speed DSG Automatic
  • Odometer: 145,000 km

Our team of experts is ready to answer any of your questions. Don’t hesitate to call us directly at (08) 9358 1392 to check on the parts you need.

The Heart of the Matter: The $1.2L TSI Engine

Volkswagen’s TSI engines revolutionized the small car market. This $1.2L turbocharged powerhouse delivers the punch of a much larger engine while sipping fuel, making it both fun and economical. With 145,000 well-maintained kilometres, this engine is in fantastic health.

Our process at WA Auto Parts goes far beyond just checking the oil. We started the engine, let it come to temperature, and listened for any irregularities. It ran whisper-quiet and smooth. We then connected our VAG-specific diagnostic tools to scan the Engine Control Unit (ECU) for any current or historic fault codes, and it came back with a clean bill of health.

Available Engine Parts:

  • Complete $1.2L TSI Engine Assembly: A fully tested, ready-to-install engine is the perfect solution for a Polo with major engine trouble. This is German engineering you can depend on, for a fraction of the cost of a new motor.
  • Turbocharger: The turbo is the key to the TSI’s performance. This unit is in excellent condition, with no signs of oil leaks or excessive shaft play.
  • Engine Ancillaries: We have the full suite of high-quality, genuine VW parts available, including the alternator, starter motor, AC compressor, ignition coils, and high-pressure fuel pump. Choosing a used OEM part over a cheap aftermarket alternative often means better reliability and a perfect fit.

The Intricacies of the DSG Transmission

The 7-Speed DSG gearbox is a marvel of engineering, providing lightning-fast shifts and excellent efficiency. However, they are complex, and the mechatronics unit is a known failure point. As this was the issue with this vehicle, we are offering a unique opportunity.

  • DSG Mechanical Components: While the electronic mechatronics unit is faulty, the gearbox itself—the clutch packs, gears, and casing—is in excellent mechanical condition. For workshops or individuals undertaking a DSG repair, these components are invaluable.
  • Gear Shifter Assembly: The complete shifter mechanism, a common point of interior wear, is in perfect working order.

If you have questions about DSG components, call our experienced team at (08) 9358 1392. We understand these complex systems and can help you get exactly what you need.

A Flawless Finish: Red Panels and Exterior Trim

Nothing is more satisfying than finding a perfectly colour-matched panel for your car. This Polo’s Flash Red paint is bright and deep, and its panels are straight and true.

  • Doors: We have all four doors from this 5-door model, available as complete units or bare shells. They are free from dings and major scratches.
  • Bonnet and Guards: The bonnet and both front guards are in exceptional condition, ready to bolt on and transform the look of a damaged car.
  • Tailgate and Bumper: The rear tailgate, complete with glass and wiper, and the rear bumper are also available and in great shape.
  • Lights and Mirrors: The headlights are clear and bright, and the tail lights are uncracked. Both power-adjustable side mirrors are fully functional.

The Command Centre: A Clean and Classy Interior

Stepping inside this Polo, you’re reminded of Volkswagen’s commitment to quality. The materials are top-notch, and everything feels solid and well put together.

  • Seats: The full set of comfortable and supportive cloth seats are clean and free from rips or stains.
  • Dashboard and Cockpit: The dash is in perfect condition, and we have the full instrument cluster, steering wheel, and centre console available.
  • Infotainment: The factory RCD310 head unit is in perfect working order, offering a simple plug-and-play replacement for a faulty radio.
  • Switches and Trims: We have all the small bits and pieces that often wear out, like window switches, headlight switches, and interior door handles. These small details can make a big difference in how you feel about your car.

The WA Auto Parts Advantage: European Expertise in Perth

Fixing a European car can be intimidating and expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. For over 15 years, we’ve built our business on being the solution.

  1. Specialist Knowledge: Our experience means we understand the specific needs of European vehicles. We know the difference between a TSI and a TDI, and we can help you navigate the complexities of parts matching for makes like VW, Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz.
