bleyseng Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 How can i tell the difference between all of the diesel engines? 2.5TD 200TDI 300TDI I need to identify a friends defender 90 engine, so i can order some parts for him. I know for sure its not 300 TDI, but i dont know if its just a standard diesel, TD, or TDI. Can you shed some light please? Thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 easiest is by engine serial number prefix = first 3 digits n/a diesel = 12J Turbo Diesel = 19J 200Tdi = 11L if it's a Defender spec engine high mounted turbo [same location as the TD engines turbo] 300Tdi = 16L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Read the engine number would be the simplest way to be certain. Obviously a standard diesel has no turbo 300 tdi is serpentine belt. 200 tdi and the td have multiple belts ..... does the td have a cast iron head? where as 300 and 200 have ally heads.

western Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 on 200tdi on engines right hand side on the horizontal surface directly below the front injector [nearest radiator] similar place on 300tdi IIRC 12J & 19J TD engine either front left of engine just forward of the exhaust manifold or on the horizontal surface above the fuel lift pump on engines right hand side.
