Has anyone put this engine to an escort mk6 engine bay

i was thinking about gettin rid of my slugish 1.8 non turbo engine and putting in the 130ps 2.0 tdci engine

whats your thoughts ?
ive been looking at some on ebay and they are not badly priced

Sounds like a lot of work and hassle. You would be much better off fitting a 1.8td from the same model car as everything will just bolt in.

yea but thats boring , ive heard the blocks are the same so it will kinda just bolt in anyway

shitty dual mass flywheel shitty starter motor shitty and bloody expensive injectors

you heard wrong. blocks are totally different. not worth the hassle imho.

If you do get it in there, as soon as it goes wrong you will wish you left it alone! Modern diesel engines generally cost lots of money when they go wrong, I would stick with the above advice and stick the 1.8 td in there.

Amen to that!!!!

yea fair play, i see what everyone is saying about newer engines , i can get a whole mk6 escort cheap as chips with a TD engine in.

Quick rebuild maybe then happy as larry

i recently purchased an escort van that had been fitted with a td engine but am unsure which one it is all i know is its the intercooled one if that makes any sense?
