Hi Guys,

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but after three weeks of ownership my 2000 model diesel snapped a conrod on the motorway and basically punched a fair hole in the block.

I have been looking around for a tidy engine to replace it with and have found what appears to be a nice unit local to me out of a Vauxhall Omega, this has an alloy inlet and an egr, mine is the plastic inlet version, I think the engines should swap ok but am I going to need to swap fuel pumps or similar to make it work?

Any advice on this?

Cheers

Steve.

You can get away with just swapping the electronic bits on the top of the FIP. there are threads that cover doing this.
Inlet manifold can be left, block the EGR.

Was thinking more in terms of the Omega engine maybe being older than the P38 one so swapping the pump for a newer one would make sense.
