In the world of Australian utes, few vehicles have made an entrance quite like the Volkswagen Amarok. When it arrived, it changed the game. It brought a level of European refinement, comfort, and engineering to a segment traditionally dominated by rugged, no-frills workhorses. The Amarok—whose name means “wolf” in the Inuit language—proved that you could have a tough, capable 4×4 that was also a pleasure to drive on the tarmac. It was, and still is, a ute for the discerning driver.
Here at WA Auto Parts, we have a deep respect for well-engineered vehicles. For over 15 years, our team in Perth has seen firsthand which cars stand the test of time. The Amarok is one of them. That’s why it’s with a mix of professional appreciation and a touch of melancholy that we introduce our latest arrival: a 2014 Volkswagen Amarok dual cab, finished in classic Candy White.
This particular “wolf” has run its last mile as a complete vehicle. After a significant front-end collision made an insurance repair uneconomical, its road-going days are over. But its story is far from finished. For us, this is where the next chapter begins. This Amarok is about to become an invaluable source of life for its pack, donating its high-quality, undamaged components to keep other Amaroks running strong on worksites, highways, and off-road tracks across Western Australia.
This is the heart of our mission. Welcome to WA Auto Parts, your leading used auto parts buyer, seller & wrecker 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. We specialize in parts for Japanese, European, Australian, Korean And American cars, trucks, SUV’s, 4wds, van, wagons & dual cabs. We believe that every end-of-life vehicle holds the potential for a new beginning.
So, let’s take a deep dive into the mechanical soul of this 2014 Amarok and uncover the premium parts now available for your vehicle.
The Heart of the Beast: The Bi-Turbo Engine & 8-Speed Auto
The drivetrain is what truly set the early Amarok apart from the competition. While others relied on larger displacement engines, Volkswagen opted for a sophisticated, smaller, and smarter powertrain that delivered exceptional performance.
The 2.0L Bi-Turbo Diesel Engine (TDI420/TDI400)
Don’t let the 2.0-litre capacity fool you. This is a marvel of German engineering. The “Bi-Turbo” system uses two sequential turbochargers to provide a seamless wave of torque across the entire rev range. A smaller, highly responsive turbo spools up instantly to eliminate low-speed lag, providing pulling power right from a standstill. As the revs climb, a larger turbo takes over to deliver the high-end horsepower needed for highway overtaking and heavy hauling.
Our 2014 model features this sought-after engine, which was in perfect running order before being decommissioned, with [e.g., 155,000] well-maintained kilometres on the clock. We have video of the engine running to prove its health. If your Amarok is feeling tired, has suffered a major engine failure, or you’re looking for a reliable replacement, this complete unit is a golden opportunity. It’s a chance to get a genuine VW powerhouse for a fraction of the dealer price.
The 8-Speed ZF Automatic Transmission
This is, without a doubt, one of the most desirable components in this vehicle. The 8-speed automatic gearbox, built by renowned German transmission specialist ZF, is the same family of transmission found in high-end luxury vehicles from BMW, Jaguar, and Audi. It’s known for its incredibly smooth, almost imperceptible shifts, its robust strength, and its intelligent design that keeps the engine in its most efficient powerband.
Replacing or rebuilding one of these gearboxes is an incredibly expensive undertaking. This tested, fully functional 8-speed automatic from our donor Amarok represents incredible value. It’s the perfect solution for anyone experiencing transmission issues, allowing you to restore that smooth, factory-fresh driving experience.
The Muscle: 4MOTION Drivetrain Components
The Amarok’s capability isn’t just about the engine and gearbox; it’s about how that power gets to the ground. The 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system is famously robust. We have the entire drivetrain available, including:
- Transfer Case: The core of the 4×4 system, ready to restore off-road capability.
- Front & Rear Differentials: These crucial components are in excellent condition. If your Amarok is equipped with the highly-valued factory rear differential lock, this is a chance to secure a complete, hard-to-find unit.
- Driveshafts and Axles: All driveshafts, prop shafts, and axles have been inspected and are ready for installation.
More Than Just Mechanicals: Body, Tray, and Interior
While the drivetrain is the star of the show, this Amarok offers a complete range of parts to get your ute looking and feeling its best.
The Dual Cab Tub: A ute’s tray is its business end, and it often bears the brunt of hard work. This Amarok’s white dual-cab tub is in fantastic condition, free from major dents and damage. It comes complete with the tailgate, taillights, and [mention any accessories like a genuine tub liner or sports bar]. For anyone with a damaged tray or looking to convert a cab-chassis model, this is a straightforward, bolt-on solution.
The Refined Interior: Step inside, and you’ll find the components that made the Amarok a leader in cabin comfort. We have the complete interior available, including:
- Seats: The full set of durable and comfortable [Cloth/Leather] seats, front and rear. Perfect for replacing worn or torn upholstery.
- Dashboard and Infotainment: The complete, uncracked dashboard assembly, instrument cluster, and the factory RNS315 infotainment head unit.
- Steering Wheel & Console: The steering wheel with controls and the full centre console assembly are available to refresh your worn interior.
Exterior Panels: Finished in Candy White, we have a range of straight panels ready to go, including all four doors, guards, side steps, and wing mirrors.
