DSN Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hi there. A work colleague in Germany has a 1983 88inch Series3. He believed it has a 2.25L Diesel in it but when he tried to sort a new head gasket, the type is coming up as 2.5L. Also some other parts on the engine are not recognised by the German dealers. Is there a key to the engine numbers to say if it is 2.25 or 2.5L? He has given me the number (although I won't post it here) so I could cross check. I also have head number ERC9358 as the PN. Any info gratefully received. Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 AFAIK the 2.5 head gasket is the better one to use and can be used on the 2.25 anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSN Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 Thanks guys for the replies. His number starts 366 so seems it is a 2.25L 5 bearing Series3 so seems correct. Maybe previous owner used the 2.5L head gasket. Info now passed on so will see if I get any further queries! Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake P Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Hey guys, don't know if any of you can help. I have a Series III with a 2.25 diesel engine no. K07462000 I guess it's weird that it starts with a letter, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
