Hi i have a renault van 04 with 205000 could do with engine change will the car engine fit cheers Ali
If it does, ive got a 2.2 renault 21 engine and a 2.0Turbo 21 engine.....
Slightly lacking in detail there me thinks!! LOL
What engine now? what you planning on fitting? Why not just buy a direct replacement engine from a breakers to save all the hastle of fitment??
I have a 4.2 V8 if you want it?
standard renault traffic van car engines much easyer to come across dont want to scrap 04 van van ok just tired engine
that would go nice in the ldv we use to tow the race car but mybe a bit thirsty
what engine is it????????
1.9 turbo d renault traffic nisan primastar vauxhall vivaro all same van not looking to upgrade or anything just use for workjust realy wondering if laguna etc engine just the same
These engines are err "somewhat in demand", for both cars and vans.
Sounds like you might want to send it off for reconditioning
Whats the engine code?
You need to do a bit of research to find out but the chances are a car engine may do just fine. Mabye join a Renault forum?
I had a Fiat Scudo & needed an engine, I knew it was an XUDT Peugeot engine but non of the localish breakers would sell me an engine unless it was
from the same type of van "the car ones are different mate, they just dont fit, all different mountings & that". They had even car
engines but no van ones in stock or had van engines but wanted silly money over the car ones. I pulled the engine from a smashed Citroen Xsara,
swapped manifolds, flywheel & clutch, mounting brackets & few other odds & sods (little more than an hours work) & it did over 20,000
miles & was still going great when I sold it.
I also used bits from a Volvo 440 diesel to fettle the then girlfriend's Clio diesel engine, we were told the Volvo ones a are completely
different, hardly share any bits I was told.
Let me guess did the turbo self destruct and try to exit via the engine ?
I have 2 workmates, one with a laguna and one a traffic both with 2.2 tdci engines. Turbo went bang wrecking the engine on both as highlighted by Mr
Trident. Replacement engines in great demand so very expensive
Anybody unlucky to have one of these engines should only use 5w/30 fully synthetic oil and change it at 5,000 mile intervals if they want the engine to last.
