Hi all,
Can you tell me the main differences between the 2 engines.
As fitted 2 discoverys.
Thanx Steve

These are a few that I know of (I haven't worked on 200Tdi).
Different engine mounts, exhaust manifold and turbo, timing belt arrangement, oil pump.
Probably lots more little things, and maybe big things.
200 Tdi runs about 0.8 bar boost pressure, 300 Tdi runs about 1 bar, which is the main reason for differences in power (IMHO). Because main components of both engines are similar, there should be no drama if the 200 Tdi boost is increased to 1 bar.
