Hi Folks
Could really do with some quick advice on 2l hdi 8V engines -
Looking at a local mint Scudo/Expert Type van tomorrow, however seller says 'it needs a turbo' which actually turned out to mean the engine has 'runaway' a bit before stopping.
Current runaway engine starts and runs quietly (according to mechanic who looked at it after the runaway) - compared to most things I've had a runaway normally ends in a big KABOOOM and never runs again!!
I guess I could possibly get away with sticking a turbo on it, buts that's going to be time/aggro for an unknown result.
Van is 2004 Scudo JTD which is a 2L Hdi 8v.
I can source another Hdi engine fairly easily - HOWEVER what possible electronic issues are there going to be. ECU? I assume ECU is coded to the pump or something like that?
Any advice would be great as don't want to buy a electronic nightmare.
I buy these for camper conversions - and finding tidy low mileage ones is a nightmare, which is why I'm even considering this!
Cheers for any input.
