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.

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 $2.5 L$ 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.

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 $3.2 L$ 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.

The Drivetrain: Harvesting the Heart

For any Ranger owner, the heart of the beast is the legendary $3.2 L$ 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.

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

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.

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.

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 $1.4 L$ petrol unit ( $G 4 F A$ ), 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 $15″$ 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.

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

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.

Here at WA Auto Parts, we are huge fans of cars with character. For over 15 years, we have served the Perth community as its leading auto parts buyer, seller, and wrecker, with a special place in our hearts for unique European vehicles.

Its journey as a complete car ended due to a front-end collision. While unfortunate, this scenario is ideal for recycling. The impact was contained to the very front, meaning the heart of the car—the cabin, the doors, the rear, and most of the valuable running gear—is in fantastic, undamaged condition.

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.

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.

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 $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

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.

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.

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.
The Smart Economic Choice: New genuine parts for European cars often come with a staggering price tag. Our recycled parts provide the exact same quality and fitment—the same German engineering—for a fraction of the cost. It’s the logical choice for any out-of-warranty repair.
Quality You Can Count On: We don’t just sell parts; we sell confidence. Every major component is thoroughly tested and inspected by our expert technicians before it’s placed on the shelf.
Your True One-Stop Shop: Our name is WA Auto Parts, and we stand by that. While we’re highlighting this Polo today, our yard is a treasure trove of parts for nearly every make and model on Australian roads.

Subaru Impreza 2009 White Wrecking

There’s a unique culture among Subaru owners. It’s in the friendly “Subie wave” on the road, the shared appreciation for that distinct Boxer engine rumble, and the quiet confidence that comes from having Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive on your side. These aren’t just cars; for many, they are trusted companions for daily life and weekend adventures.

Here at WA Auto Parts, we get it. With over 15 years of experience as Perth’s leading auto parts buyer, seller, and wrecker, we’ve seen firsthand the passion people have for their vehicles. Our mission has always been to support that passion. We believe that the end of one car’s journey is simply the beginning of a new chapter for many others. It’s about sustainability, affordability, and keeping great cars on the road.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce our latest arrival: a crisp, white 2009 Subaru Impreza. It’s a vehicle that perfectly represents the quality and potential that lies within our Perth workshop, and it’s a goldmine of parts for any Impreza owner.

The Story of This Impreza: More Than Just a Wreck

Every vehicle that enters our yard has a history. This 2009 Subaru Impreza RX 5-door hatchback, finished in classic Satin White Pearl, was clearly a well-maintained daily driver. With a respectable 162,000 km on the clock, it was in its prime, navigating the streets of Perth with reliability and style.

Unfortunately, an encounter with another vehicle resulted in significant rear-end damage, leading to its status as a statutory write-off. While its days as a complete car are over, the silver lining is immense. The front and mid-sections of the car were left untouched, preserving a wealth of high-quality mechanical and cosmetic parts.

Let’s break down the specifications of this donor vehicle:

Make: Subaru
Model: Impreza RX (GH Series)
Year: 2009
Body Style: 5-Door Hatchback
Colour: Satin White Pearl (Paint Code: 37J)
Engine: $EJ20$ 2.0L Boxer
Transmission: 4-Speed Automatic
Drivetrain: Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
Odometer: 162,000 km

Now, let’s take a virtual walk around and show you the incredible value waiting for you. For any questions or to check availability, your first point of contact should be our expert team at (08) 9358 1392.

The Heartbeat: The $EJ20$ Boxer Engine and its Components

At the core of every Subaru is the legendary Boxer engine. This Impreza is powered by the reliable and efficient $EJ20$ 2.0-litre, naturally aspirated version. Before a single bolt was turned, we put this engine through its paces. It started instantly, settled into a smooth, consistent idle, and revved cleanly without any hesitation, smoke, or concerning noises.

This is what’s available:

Complete $EJ20$ Engine Assembly: With only 162,000 km, this engine is a fantastic, cost-effective solution for someone whose Impreza has suffered a major engine failure. It’s a complete, tested, and verified unit ready to drop in and give your car a new lease on life.
Engine Ancillaries: Often, it’s the supporting parts that fail. We have meticulously checked and salvaged all the key components, including:
- The Alternator
- The Starter Motor
- The Air Conditioning Compressor (which was blowing ice-cold!)
- The Power Steering Pump
- The Radiator and Cooling Fans
- The full Engine Wiring Harness and ECU

Buying a used ancillary from WA Auto Parts means you get an original manufacturer part, known for its longevity, for a fraction of the price of a new one.

The Foundation of Fun: Symmetrical AWD and Drivetrain

Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system is its calling card. It provides unparalleled grip and stability, whether you’re navigating a wet roundabout in the city or exploring a gravel road down south. The drivetrain in this vehicle was fully intact and performed flawlessly in our workshop tests.

4-Speed Automatic Transmission: The transmission engaged smoothly into drive and reverse, shifting through its gears without any jolts or slips. It’s a perfect replacement for a worn or failing gearbox.
Front and Rear Differentials: These are crucial components of the AWD system. Both are in excellent condition, with no leaks or noises, ready to restore the balance and power delivery of your vehicle.
Driveshafts and Axles: We have the full set of driveshafts and axles, all inspected to be straight and true with their CV joints in good order.

Pristine Panels and a Flawless Face

Finding straight, clean, and colour-matched body panels can be one of the biggest challenges in vehicle repair. This white Impreza offers a fantastic opportunity to replace damaged parts on your own car without the high cost of painting.

Front End: The bonnet, both front guards, and the front bumper are in excellent condition, with only the most minor signs of use you’d expect from a car of this age.
Doors: All four doors are straight and undamaged. They are available as complete units (with glass, regulators, and interior trims) or as bare shells.
Lights and Glass: The headlights are crystal clear, a huge cosmetic and safety upgrade over the faded, yellowed lights common on older cars. The mirrors and all side glass are also in perfect condition.

Step Inside: A Clean and Tidy Interior

The interior of this Impreza RX is a testament to its careful ownership. It’s clean, complete, and offers a host of parts to refresh a tired or damaged cabin.

Seats: The full set of factory cloth seats are in great shape, with firm bolsters and no rips or tears. They offer a significant comfort and aesthetic upgrade over worn-out base model seats.
Dashboard and Console: The dashboard is free from the cracks and sun damage that can plague cars under the harsh WA sun. We have the complete assembly, glove box, and centre console available.
Steering Wheel and Controls: The steering wheel, complete with its airbag, is in excellent condition. All the essential controls, from the window switches to the indicator and wiper stalks, have been tested and are fully functional.
Infotainment: The original factory CD player and radio head unit works perfectly, providing a simple plug-and-play fix for a faulty stereo.

Nissan Navara 2012 Blue Wrecking

Here at WA Auto Parts, we believe every vehicle has a story. Some are tales of daily commutes and school runs. Others are epic adventures etched in mud and red dust. And some, like the vibrant blue 2012 Nissan Navara D40 that recently rolled into our Perth yard, have reached the end of their road as a whole vehicle but are about to begin a new chapter, piece by piece.

For over 15 years, our team at WA Auto Parts has been the trusted heart of auto recycling in Western Australia. We’re not just wreckers; we are automotive custodians. We see the potential and life left in every component, and our mission is simple: to connect you with high-quality, reliable, and affordable used auto parts. Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast with a weekend project, a trade professional keeping a client’s vehicle on the road, or a 4WD adventurer looking for a tough-to-find replacement, we are your one-stop shop.

Today, we want to take you on a deep dive into this Nissan Navara. It’s more than just a list of parts; it’s a tour of opportunity for Navara owners across Perth and beyond.

Meet Our Latest Arrival: The 2012 Nissan Navara D40

The Nissan Navara holds a special place in the Australian motoring landscape. It’s the quintessential ute – a dependable workhorse from Monday to Friday and a rugged chariot for family adventures on the weekend. This particular model, a 2012 D40, represents a generation known for its blend of toughness and comfort.

This vehicle arrived at our workshop as a statutory write-off, a common story for many of the cars we see. While an unfortunate front-end incident means it can’t be re-registered for road use, it also means that a huge number of its components—from the robust engine to the pristine interior—are perfectly preserved and ready for a new home.

Let’s look at the specs, because as any good mechanic knows, the details matter.

Make: Nissan
Model: Navara D40 (Thai-Built)
Year: 2012
Colour: A stunning, deep Blue
Engine: YD25DDTi $2.5 L$ Turbo Diesel
Transmission: 6-Speed Manual
Drivetrain: $4 \times 4$
Odometer: 185,000 km

An odometer reading of 185,000 km on a well-maintained YD25 diesel is just getting into its stride. It’s a testament to the vehicle’s life on the open roads of WA, and it signifies that there is immense value locked away in its mechanical heart. Now, let’s get our hands dirty and explore what’s available.

The Heart of the Beast: Engine and Mechanical Components

The YD25DDTi engine is the stuff of legend for Nissan owners. It’s known for its solid torque, reliability, and widespread use, making it a prime candidate for replacements or even conversions into other vehicles. Before we pull any engine, our expert team at WA Auto Parts performs a series of rigorous checks.

This Navara’s engine started on the button and ran smoothly, with no concerning noises, smoke, or leaks. We were able to test it thoroughly, giving us the confidence to stand behind its quality.

Available Engine & Mechanical Parts:

Complete YD25DDTi Engine Assembly: This is the prize. A complete, running engine with 185,000 km is perfect for someone whose Navara has suffered a major engine failure. It’s a cost-effective way to get your ute back on the road without the astronomical cost of a brand-new crate motor.
Turbocharger: The turbo spooled up perfectly during our tests, with no excessive shaft play. If your Navara is feeling sluggish or blowing smoke, a quality used turbo can restore its lost power.
Ancillaries: We have the full suite of engine accessories, all tested and confirmed working. This includes the alternator, starter motor, power steering pump, and the AC compressor, which was blowing cold right until the end.
Cooling System: The radiator and intercooler (essential for that turbo performance) are in great shape and ready to be installed.

When you buy a mechanical component from us, you’re buying peace of mind. You’re buying a part that our experienced team has personally inspected and signed off on. Don’t hesitate to call us at (08) 9358 1392 to discuss your engine needs.

Putting the Power Down: Drivetrain and Suspension

A Navara is only as good as its ability to tackle the tough stuff, and that comes down to the drivetrain. This model features the sought-after 6-speed manual transmission paired with a robust part-time $4 \times 4$ system.

6-Speed Manual Gearbox & Transfer Case: The transmission shifted cleanly through all gears, and the clutch felt strong. The transfer case engaged smoothly between $2 H$ , $4 H$ , and $4 L$ . For anyone who has suffered a gearbox failure or wants to convert from an automatic, this is a golden opportunity.
Front and Rear Differentials: Essential for any 4WD, the diffs are in excellent condition. Whether you’ve damaged yours on a tricky off-road track or are simply looking for a specific ratio, we have you covered.
Tailshafts and Axles: These crucial links in the power chain are straight and true, with good universal and CV joints.
Suspension Components: While the front-left suspension was affected by the impact, the rest of the system, including control arms, shocks, and leaf springs, is in solid, usable condition. Perfect for replacing worn-out parts and restoring your ute’s factory ride height and handling.

First Impressions Count: Panels, Body, and Exterior

The vibrant blue paint on this Navara still holds a deep shine. While the front is damaged, the rest of the body offers a treasure trove of pristine panels for anyone looking to repair cosmetic damage on their own vehicle. Finding a perfect colour-matched panel saves you hundreds of dollars at the paint shop.

Doors: Both right-side doors (front and rear) and the left-rear door are in excellent condition, complete with glass, window regulators, and switches.
Well Body / Tub: The tub is straight and has only seen light use. It’s an ideal replacement for a damaged or rusted-out tray. The tailgate is also in fantastic shape, opening and closing perfectly.
Side Steps & Mirrors: The factory side steps are straight, and the power-adjustable side mirrors are fully functional. These are often the first casualties in tight car parks or on narrow bush tracks.

The Command Centre: A Look Inside

Stepping inside this Navara is like stepping back to a time when it was someone’s pride and joy. The interior is remarkably clean and well-kept, a clear sign that its previous owner cared for it.

Seats: The full set of cloth seats (front buckets and rear bench) are free from rips or major stains. The driver’s seat shows minimal wear on the bolster, which is exceptional for its age and kilometres.
Dashboard & Console: The entire dash assembly is available. It’s uncracked and in great condition. The instrument cluster is fully functional, clearly displaying the 185,000 km. The centre console, with its cupholders and storage, is also in perfect order.
Steering Wheel & Controls: The steering wheel, complete with airbag, is ready to be fitted. We also have all the switchgear, from the headlight and wiper stalks to the window switch clusters.
Head Unit/Radio: The factory standard radio/CD player is working perfectly, offering a simple plug-and-play solution for a faulty unit.

Audi A4 2009 Grey Wrecking

There’s a certain understated elegance to an Audi A4. It’s a vehicle that doesn’t shout about its capabilities; it quietly demonstrates them through flawless design, sophisticated technology, and a driving experience that is both dynamic and supremely composed. For Perth drivers who appreciate the finer points of German engineering, the A4 has long been the benchmark for premium sedans.

The launch of the B8 generation in 2008 was a pivotal moment. With its longer wheelbase, advanced new engines, and the introduction of technologies like the S tronic gearbox, it represented a major leap forward, solidifying its place as a leader in its class. Owning one of these beautiful machines is a rewarding experience, but as any enthusiast knows, maintaining a premium European vehicle can present its challenges, particularly when it comes to the cost of dealership parts.

At WA Auto Parts, we believe that the passion for driving a finely engineered car shouldn’t be overshadowed by the fear of expensive repairs. For over 15 years, we have been Perth’s leading independent source for high-quality used parts, specializing in complex European vehicles like this Audi A4. We provide a smart, value-conscious pathway to keeping these incredible cars performing at their best.

It is with great excitement that we announce the arrival of a truly special vehicle to our yard—a 2009 Audi A4 B8 that is a treasure trove of highly desirable and hard-to-find components.

The Donor Vehicle’s Profile: A Premium S line Specification

Precision is paramount when dealing with German vehicles. To ensure our customers find the exact part they need, we conduct a thorough documentation of every car. This particular A4 is a spectacular, enthusiast-focused specification that offers a wealth of premium parts for repair or a significant upgrade.

Full Technical Specifications:

Stock Number: AU2009-G01 (Quote this number for immediate, accurate service!)
Make: Audi
Model: A4
Chassis Code: B8 (8K)
Year: 2009
Body Style: Sedan
Engine: 2.0L TFSI (Turbo Fuel Stratified Injection) Petrol Engine
Drivetrain: Quattro All-Wheel Drive
Transmission: 7-Speed S tronic Dual-Clutch Automatic
Package: Factory S line Sports Package (Interior & Exterior)
Colour: Lava Grey Pearl Effect
Odometer: A well-maintained 160,000 kms

Our Professional Assessment: This A4 arrived with rear damage, which for our purposes, is the ideal scenario. The heart and soul of the car—the powerful 2.0L TFSI engine, the legendary Quattro drivetrain, the responsive S tronic gearbox, the complete S line interior, and all front and side body panels—are in immaculate, undamaged condition. This vehicle was clearly cherished, and its high-quality components are now ready to give a second life to another A4.

The Enthusiast’s Catalogue: A Deep Dive into What’s Available

This is a rare opportunity to source genuine S line and Quattro components that are often difficult to find.

Engine & Drivetrain – TFSI Power, Quattro Grip

Complete 2.0L TFSI Engine: The 2.0-litre turbocharged engine is the sweet spot in the A4 range, delivering a fantastic blend of punchy performance and respectable fuel economy. Our unit is a healthy, tested runner with no issues, ready to be transplanted as a cost-effective solution for a major engine problem.
7-Speed S tronic Gearbox & Quattro System: This is a high-performance combination. The S tronic dual-clutch gearbox provides lightning-fast, seamless shifts. Paired with the Quattro all-wheel-drive system, it offers unparalleled traction and confidence in all weather conditions. A replacement S tronic mechatronics unit or gearbox from a dealer can be astronomically expensive. Our complete, tested gearbox and Quattro rear differential assembly offer a sensible and reliable path to repair.

Exterior, Body & Lighting – The S line Advantage

The S line package transforms the A4’s appearance from elegant to athletic.

S line Exterior Panels: We have the complete S line front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and S line badging. This is a complete conversion kit for a standard A4 owner looking for a sportier, more aggressive look. The panels are in excellent condition in the beautiful Lava Grey Pearl paint.
Bi-Xenon Headlights with LED DRLs: The signature feature of this Audi era. These genuine headlights with their distinctive LED “eyebrow” daytime running lights are a massive upgrade over the standard halogen units, offering superior light output and unmistakable road presence.

Hyundai accent 2012 White Wrecking

In a world of ever-changing automotive trends, there’s something truly honourable about a car that simply does its job, day in and day out, without any fuss. The Hyundai Accent is one of those unsung heroes. For years, it has been the go-to choice for Perth motorists seeking a dependable, fuel-efficient, and surprisingly stylish small car.

It’s the perfect first car, granting the freedom of the open road to a new generation of drivers. It’s the sensible second car for a growing family, and the budget-friendly daily commuter that never lets you down. The Accent’s reputation is built on a foundation of reliability and outstanding value for money. These are cars that are designed to keep going, asking for little more than regular maintenance in return.

But even the most reliable car will eventually need a part replaced. A minor car park mishap can leave a bumper cracked, a door dented, or a headlight broken. Over many years and kilometres, mechanical components can simply wear out. When this happens, the potential cost of brand-new dealership parts can seem disproportionate to the value of the car, leaving many owners in a tough spot.

At WA Auto Parts, we firmly believe that keeping your trusty Accent in top-notch condition shouldn’t be a financial burden. For over 15 years, we have been Perth’s leading source for high-quality, genuine used auto parts. We provide a smart, affordable, and local solution that keeps great cars like the Accent on our roads for longer.

That’s why we’re so pleased to announce our latest arrival—a vehicle that represents a fantastic opportunity for Accent owners everywhere. We are now professionally dismantling a clean, white 2012 Hyundai Accent, and its entire catalogue of tested, genuine parts is ready to serve another life.

Our Professional Assessment: This Accent arrived at our facility with rear-end damage. For our customers, this is the best possible scenario. The entire front of the car, the engine bay, all side doors, and the complete interior are in excellent, undamaged condition. The 1.6L engine runs smoothly and quietly, and the 6-speed automatic transmission shifts perfectly. With 140,000 kms on the clock, this car has been well-maintained and its components are ready for many more years of dependable service.

The Practical Parts Guide: A Deep Dive into What’s Available

Let’s explore the high-quality, genuine Hyundai components now available to get your Accent back in perfect shape.

Engine & Drivetrain – The Reliable Heart

Complete 1.6L MPi Engine: The 1.6-litre Multi-Point Injection engine is the workhorse of the Accent range, known for its simplicity and long-term reliability. Our complete engine assembly is a fantastic, low-kilometre unit that has been fully tested by our mechanics. It’s the ideal replacement for a very high-mileage engine to restore lost power and efficiency, providing total peace of mind.
6-Speed Automatic Transmission: The 6-speed automatic in this generation of Accent is a smooth and dependable unit. If your transmission is starting to show its age, our tested, fully functional gearbox is a straightforward and highly affordable solution compared to the cost of a specialist repair.
All Engine Accessories: We also have the full suite of engine accessories, including the alternator, starter motor, AC compressor, and radiator, all in excellent working condition.

Exterior Body, Lighting & Glass – The Smart Repair Solution

Body Panels in White: This is where you can achieve massive savings. A minor bump can lead to a huge bill at a panel shop. We have the bonnet, all side doors, and the front guards available in the original factory white. For a minor repair, you can simply bolt on a straight, colour-matched panel and avoid hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in painting costs.
Front Bumper and Headlights: The complete front bumper assembly and a pair of clear, bright headlight assemblies are available, perfect for fixing minor frontal damage or replacing faded, cloudy headlights.
Tail Lights and Tailgate: The rear tailgate and both tail light assemblies from this hatchback model are in perfect condition.

Interior & Cabin – Refresh and Restore

Complete Seat Set: After a decade of daily use, a driver’s seat can start to look tired. We have the complete set of clean, comfortable cloth seats from this vehicle, free from rips or significant stains. It’s an easy way to make your car’s interior feel fresh and new again.
Dashboard and Controls: The complete dashboard assembly, instrument cluster, steering wheel, and factory audio head unit (with CD/MP3/AUX) are all available and in great working order.
All Interior Trims: From door cards to console plastics, we have all the small bits and pieces that can get broken or worn over time.
