Swapping a 220 CDI for a 230k
Hi!
I have some questions regarding The engine swap as The title says.
I apologize in advance for my writing as It's been a couple of years since i last wrote in english.
I have a 1996 c230k that i love, But about three weeks ago me and my lite 230 made contact with a tree sort of speak..
The engine didn't take any danage But The front end got kind of compressed on The driver's side.. As it looks at The moment the costs to repair The current chassi would be too much in comperison to The value of The car. I therefore think The better option would be to buy a chassi and put my engine in that instead.
I recently found a 1999 220cdi that is very close to home, and for a decent price due to some engine problems that The current owner coulden't fix.
Now Im wondering how difficult it would be to swap The 2.2 diesel for my 2.3 petrol engine?
Is some of The Electronics The same or do I need to strip The diesel of all Electronics and replace everyting with The stuff from my 230k?
I plan to do every thing my self to keep costs as low as possible.
I know that Its a swap that Will take a while, But time is not that much of a problem as I bought a w210 to drive till The w202 is done. I just hope to have it back on The Streets some time in The summer.
