300tdi into series 2a

(1/4) > >>

Yoshi:
Well after getting a £700 quote to get me disco through an mot i decided that seeing as how the engine seized in the 2a (which was a 200tdi conversion) i might as well stick this engine in and make 1 working motor out of the 2!!!

Any differences that i should know about???

J.D.:
The engine mounts are slightly different from memory, and I don't think they are interchangeable. The 300tdi has Exhaust Gar Recirculation and a fly by wire throttle, but this can be converted using the 200Tdi throttle cable. The 300tdi also has different pipework for the air intake and a few other bits which may need fiddling with to get to fit.

Hope this helps, if you need any more info, gibve me a shout.

later 300tdi s have the drive by wire my early 300 tdi doesnt just the normal cable connection to the injector pump
the down pipe is different on the 300 aswell  and I think youll have to change the clutch housing on the back of the engine and swap it for the 200tdi one

Yoshi:
OK, its an N-reg discovery, so its not got all the ecu and crap on it lol

I wont personally be doing the work as i dont have the equipment, but a mate of mine is doing it and am trying to get an idea of what will need doing.

J.D.:
Yep, forgot about the exhaust downpipe, can be modded with flexi pipe which is easiest or you can buy custom made stuff. Rocky Mountain do them I thibk,
