Mondeo TDCI engine swap - TDDI?
Hi All,
I've been offered a 2003 TDCI mondeo for scrap value with injector issue's, I was just wondering if anyone has any experience swapping a TDDI engine in? I know they're pretty solid, and seem to be cheap and plentiful.
I'm guessing I'd need the complete engine (obviously +injectors manifolds fuel pump starter etc), engine wiring harness and the ecu..
On paper it's an easy enough engine swap, has anyone tried it, are there any unforseen issue's?
I spent some time googling it expecting loads of people would have tried it given the troublesome early TDCI's and comparatively solid TDDI's, but either i'm looking in the wrong place or it seems not....
And.. I guess i'd need the ECU to be from the same engine. Do mondeo's still have transponder keys?
Cheers

i have some wiring diagrams
doesnt work they are completely different wiring all together i go on a transit forum an some one done this and could never get it going
if you were to take this on it would have to be the full wiring system from the donner including clocks/ecu keys transponder ring etc
And.. I guess i'd need the ECU to be from the same engine. Do mondeo's still have transponder keys?

just about to do this conversion myself mate to my 2003 tdci estate. it lookts a bit tricky though as the engine harness is integrated with the main car harness so dash out and all the rest of it. im having a go though as im sick of spending 600 on injectors every 2 years!
