Help please MK6 engine code compatability

Postby Jakeferno » Sun Jun 09, 2024 11:20 pm

Hello guys I'm hoping someone here could help me, my fuel pump has blown and after other issues we've decided to just swap the engine out and try and find a good used complete engine on eBay etc my dad who is a slightly competent mechanic and can call help in and says he'll be able to swap easily enough...pray for me , the vehicle details are
FORD TRANSIT 280 MWB
SH/R P/V
Silver
2003
5 speed Manual
74 BHP
Max. torque
180 Nm at 2.250 rpm
Engine capacity
1.998 cc
Cylinders
4
Fuel type
Diesel
EBay is showing my reg on this engine to look for: abfa complete engine Ford Transit 2000 2.0 DI FA_ _

Is any engine code compatible or will it only be ABFA I can use

Any help would be appreciated kind regards Jake

The Mk6 2.0L FWD engine came in 4 flavours...TDDi 75, 85 & 100hp...and the 125 TDCi. The ABFA was the TDDi 75hp.

The base TDDi engines are identical..the turbos are different and possibly the injectors...the 75 doesn't have an intercooler or EGR cooler whereas the others do.

Thank you kind sir for your knowledgable reply, does that mean that other engine code engines would be able to be fitted easily onto existing vehicle easily? Or do you think I should try to find ABFA only ? Thanks again

If it has "100", that means it was "originally" a 100ps engine, unless you have owned it from new, it could be anything.

Some of the engine code lists have the ABFA as a 75, 85 or 100ps engine...as mentioned...all the TDDi bare service engines are the same. It's just the turbo, PCM and possibly injectors and external ancillaries that may be different.
