will a 2.5NA diesel engine go into my s3?

<< < (3/3)

Leslie Henson:
The main exterior difference between the Sherpa and Defender engine is the the position of the injector pumps. The sherpa engine has an Injector pump high up (hence the fitting of an idler gear for the the timing belt to ensure sufficient wrap around the cam sprocket). When fitting a Sherpa 2.5 N/A engine, there is no need to alter the drivers (O/S) chassis engine mount - due to this higher location of the inj pump.
On a 90/110 N/A or TD engine that was factory fitted, the inj pump is lower (no idler wheel), and because of this the standard mounts will not fit (at all). If you just lower the engine - the injector pump will sit on the chassis engine mount quite a while before you could even do up the rubber mounting nut.  Any chance of some pictures of the chassis/engine mounts, as what you are saying ain't quite right in my opinion.

As trustyrusty said, had to swop the thermostat housing for the one off the 2 .25 as the 2.5 had a rightangle, the s2.25 fitted straight on so could use the same coolent hose.

Apart from that no probs.

p.s. see this tread about accelerator cable rather than the linkage http://forums.mud-club.com/viewtopic.php?t=38692&highlight=accelerator+linkage

had to use the thermostat from the series also allows the heater to be turned off
