Diesel engine identification.


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.
