Can you replace a vrs 245bhp 2.0lt tdi with a 2.0 tdi 190 bhp engine

[Joe41]

Hi, i was wondering is it possible to replace a vrs 245bhp 2.0lt tdi thats damaged with a 2.0 tdi 190 bhp engine are they the same engine?

How much of it are you wanting to replace, they're both 4-cylinder 2.0 TDI diesel engines, but I imagine that's where the similarities will end?

 

The vRS 237bhp diesel is a twin turbo (bi-turbo) and so I'd imagine the vast majority of the engine ancillaries will be different i.e. turbo/s, injectors, cooling system (routing of the pipes, fan size), air conditioning, engine management systems and mounts, gearbox programming, SCR / DPF / exhaust system etc.

 

The battery is also in the boot on the vRS, presumably due to space constraints under the bonnet, no doubt that will introduce unexpected complications during a new engine graft.

 

I can't see it being a simple swap.

All the ancillaries are there its just the engine thats toast as long as the engines are the exact same if you know that is

This begs the question... why?

 

Sorry I can't answer your question, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who will come across this thread and want to know the backstory to your enquiry!

I was wondering the same, if you are going to buy a new engine, why not buy the correct one.  
 

If proposed engine isn’t new, It doesn’t seem logical to source the vRS diesel then stick a secondhand engine from something less powerful in.

My nose is bothering me as well.

@Joe41do you have the vRS with the damaged engine and how damaged that it can not be rebuilt?
