Scat
SCAT parts are trusted by Volkswagen enthusiasts looking to increase performance, improve reliability and build stronger air-cooled VW engines. As one of the original pioneers of the Volkswagen aftermarket, SCAT has spent more than 50 years developing performance parts for air-cooled VW engines and drivetrains.
About SCAT Parts
Founded by Tom Lieb in California during the 1960s, SCAT began as a specialist supplier of Volkswagen performance parts at a time when the VW aftermarket was still in its infancy.
Over the decades, the company has grown into one of the most respected names in air-cooled Volkswagen tuning, manufacturing and distributing performance engine components used by enthusiasts, racers and engine builders around the world.
Today, SCAT is best known for its high-performance engine parts, including crankshafts, connecting rods, camshafts, rocker assemblies, pushrod tubes, engine kits and drivetrain upgrades. The brand also produces some of the most recognisable aftermarket VW gear shifters, helping owners improve both performance and driving feel.
SCAT parts are commonly used during engine rebuilds, performance upgrades and custom air-cooled VW projects. Popular applications include the Volkswagen Beetle, T2 Split Screen, T2 Bay Window, Karmann Ghia and Type 3. Whether you're building a fast-road engine, restoring a classic VW with upgraded internals or increasing reliability for long-distance touring, SCAT parts provide proven performance solutions.

Compatibility & Fitment Guidance
To ensure you order the correct SCAT part, we recommend checking:
- Your Volkswagen model.
- Engine type and capacity.
- Vehicle production year.
- Existing engine modifications.
- OEM or manufacturer part numbers where available.
Many SCAT products are designed for modified or performance-focused air-cooled Volkswagen engines. Always check compatibility with your existing engine build before ordering.
How to Choose the Right SCAT Part
Before selecting performance components, consider how you use your vehicle. A fast-road Beetle may benefit from a mild camshaft and upgraded rocker assemblies, while larger-capacity engine builds may require upgraded crankshafts, connecting rods and supporting components. Choosing parts that work together as a complete package will help achieve the best results.
