Sprinter and mondeo
2008 220cdi engine swap

Hello, I am new to this forum and I just bought a '08 Mercedes Sprinter 220cdi.
The engine is dead and I don't want to Waste my time fixing the engine.

Therefore, I am looking for some info.
The sprinter has a OM646.986 engine
And I have found good condition Om646.963 engines for much more reasonable prices.

Now here's my question;
Can I use a Om646.963 or other OM646 engines or is there any connector or harness differences?

I have attached a couple of pictures that suggests that all the 220cdi's (from 611 to 646) can be mounted to the same transmissions. But I did not find anything about harness differences.

I hope someone can help me

Looks like you are Norwegian, while most members on this forum are from USA/Canada where those engines are unknown and cars are too cheap to spend money on engine replacement.
I doubt Plutoe has seen any engine he is talking about in his whole life.
You might be much better getting hands-on experience help on European forums.
Good luck.
