hi all
just had the engine die on a 1996 300tdi and I have a spare 200tdi lump and was wondering if anyone knows how easy it is to put the 200 into the 300?
very many thanks

I think the gearbox should mate up, ok but i am sure that the 200 uses differant mountings so you will have to modify these, other than that it is basicly the same lump so it should be straight forward

A quick thought on your engine swap. I think 300 Tdi's where mated to the R380 gearbox, 200 Tdi's mated to a version of the LT77 gearbox. Don't think the bellhousings can be swapped from one 'box to the other. You may need an adapter of some sort. Worth checking before commiting to swapping engines.
