Wanted 2.25 diesel engine

S2aalex · Jul 25, 2019

Wanted 2.25 diesel engine must be working or running. Or if pump is buggered to have a good head and block. Preferably a 3mb engine but not too worried either way. Cornwall, Devon or Somerset. I can collect.

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread!

Thank you

Not mine but might be ok for what you need

Thank you I appreciate the look out! Looking for something a bit more up and running like a recent removal or something. But thank you all the same

There was someone recently selling a large selection of series diesel engines on ebay but I don't know where he was in the UK or what condition they were. Have you thought of putting a 2.5 n/a out of an early 90 in? There are quite a few of those around, all runners removed for tdi conversions.

I currently have a good working 2.5 but would rather keep the series 2A with the original style engine being the 2.25. There must be a few chaps on the forum who have removed these lumps for Tdi's and have them lying around I would imagine!

Or this one

Perfect thank you!! I'll go and check it out.

That last ebay engine is 5mb

S2aalex · Jul 25, 2019

How can you tell from looking? Are there any obvious signs? I was going to ask him for the engine number and do it that way

Chopz · Jul 25, 2019

I can see the extra cast ribs on the bottom of the block

S2aalex · Jul 25, 2019

Geddon never knew that!

Chopz · Jul 25, 2019

It will still fit the same,just its a later engine

S2aalex · Jul 25, 2019

Dont think that one will be any good anyway. Looks like this chap doesn't really know what it runs like. Need an engine to just plonk straight in and off I go. Sounds picky i know!

Chopz · Jul 25, 2019

Most people fit a tdi because the old engine was slow and smokey
But that's just the way they are

S2aalex · Jul 25, 2019

Yeah precisely so someone must have one lying about! Tryna keep the old girl as original as I can, only 1 previous owner and 1963 so would be good to see it through.

Chopz · Jul 25, 2019

Yep I aqree
3mb it should be
I would pull one apart before putting it in
Most will be worn out and new parts are so cheap for the 2.25

S2aalex · Jul 25, 2019

Pulling it apart is exactly what I'm trying to avoid haha

rob1miles · Jul 27, 2019

Unless you can hear it running I'm afraid you have to pull it apart, I know from bitter experince! You may get one where the owner videoed it before taking it out, that should do.
