whats me engine?


Recommended Posts

As above, 19J. I've had a 12J, 19J and 200Tdi and stripped all of them down for rebuild. Unfortunately, the 19J was not worth rebuilding - they have a propensity for cracking their pistons and heads, and mine was no exception; it had big cracks between the valves in each cylinder and all the pistons had cracks right the way across and through the crowns that were wide enough to let light through. Watch its oil consumption, and if it gets high, be careful - the breather starts venting oil straight into the intake and the engine then runs on this oil as a fuel and revs to destruction, the only way to stop it being engaging the highest gear you can and standing on the brakes to stall the engine. Well looked after, the engines could be alright, but most were wrecked and later replaced with Tdis.
