Scout Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hi My first proper post and asking for advice already. Can anyone tell me if the Disco 300tdi engine is the same as the Defender 300tdi. I did a 200tdi conversion on my defender a while back and I remember the engines being slightly different, turbo location and exhaust, mainly. Does the 300tdi from a disco drop straight into a def 300tdi? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully I'll be able to offer some advice to others in the future, when I know the answer that is. cheers Scout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 with the slightly different electronic bits on the EDC & auto versions all 300Tdi are identical. plus different engine number prefix depending on the parent vehicle. 16L,23L for example.

ciderman Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Is there a difference in Power outputs between auto and manual 300 engines ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I am led to beleive that the auto's have the pump tweaked from the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Yes, auto engines have 120bhp against 111bhp for the manual box engines, obviously torque figures will be different too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Muddy is correct the 300auto had a higher BHP figure when I first got one and was looking into them back in 95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty_wingnut Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 does anyone know how to distinguish the origin of 300tdi engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAttrill Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 does anyone know how to distinguish the origin of 300tdi engine? 16L = Defender. Any other prefix like 21L or 23L is a Disco. (My Defender has a 21L engine but it was assembled here in SA and depended on whatever engines were sent from Solihull) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty_wingnut Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 21L and 23L accounting for the difference in power? Do believe I have a 21L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
