About Us

Aircooled Hut UK is a small business based in Mansfield, focusing primarily on Aircooled Volkswagen & Porsche engines.

My passion for tinkering with engines started as a teenager, tuning 50cc motorcycles. Upon leaving school, I enrolled at the local college for motor engineering. Over the years, my love of petrol engines has progressed to high-performance cars and Sports Motorcycles & of course, Volkswagen's. With a love for building engines and speed, it was inevitable that the high-performance Aircooled engine would become part of my working week.

Aircooled Hut UK stems from a love of tinkering with my own Volkswagen engines while working as an engineer in another field (Almost 20 years) to eventually going full-time several years ago. Since then, my waiting list has steadily grown by word of mouth and repeat customers who own several Volkswagens.

As the workload has grown, I have moved from working in the home garage and workshop to an industrial unit and soon will have no choice but to move again due to the ever-increasing machinery bought to enable us to do almost all aspects of engine work in-house.

I have also invested a large amount of time finding the right candidates to work alongside me to ensure customers' expectations are met regarding waiting times and quality of work.

All Type 1 builds from a 1950s 1200cc engine right up to an all-new parts 2332cc engine. (Bigger sizes are available)

Our Type 4 engines are also getting very popular with engine capacities of 2.3 litres and above available.

Then there are the WBX T3 engines, which can also be built with increased capacity and HP.

We also supply part or full Engine kits & parts are available to order, along with parts sales and machine work.
