Land Rover 200 TDI engine vs. 300 TDI engine - Side by side comparison

Having both engines on a crane gives a unique view. Short comparison, strenghts, weakness and reliability.

Thanks for your time im really enjoying your videos especially as a om606 and a 200tdi owner thanks

[@heritagesteel1976]

best engines ever. I like the td5 also a lot. its very very sturdy and reliable, not as reliable as an analogue 200/300 TDi of course but still very solid

[@khrystree9233]

Nice to here on how good 200TDI, now i know mine is out of Defender 😉 11L engine high turbo mounting ✊

I have the flywheel locking tool, or timing pin kit that I bought from someone who machined it all himself, I got it for the 200tdi that I used to have at the time. Just wondering if it would be compatible with the 300 as well or not. Any idea?

[@DaniilAKein]

Never seen anything like that here. thank you)

[@nickaxe771]

Very interesting....can I ask Sir....will the head off a 300TDI fit a 200TDI engine. Nick in the UK.

[@heritagesteel1976]

the head gaskets are the the same but why you want to try ? Never seen one with swapped heads but maybe you are the first to get it done:)

[@nickaxe771]

200 heads are very hard to come by.....lots more 300 heads about.@@heritagesteel1976

[@roryfraser7876]

When it comes to skimming the flywheel on 300tdi’s how much do you take off them in thickness and weight? Many thanks Rory

[@heritagesteel1976]

I was asked before. Depends on the damage of the flywheel I guess. But they are heavy so lots of room for improvement. I leave that up to my machine shop to decide

[@roryfraser7876]

Thank you for the reply! That’s exactly what I ended up doing, left it up to my machinist to decide how much to take off. Keep up the great work 🤠🤠

[@AngusAbbott-qf8xm]

How much weight do you take off the flywheel ? Is it the same amount for both 200 and 300tdi engines?

[@heritagesteel1976]

that I leave to my machine shop to decide. Sorry don't have a weight figure

I can't turn on the notificacions on your channel

[@heritagesteel1976]

hi, donto know why. have to look into it

[@WittyScrewdriver]

The 200 is better than the 300 in my opinion

[@heritagesteel1976]

i wouldnt necessarily say better i would equal weight them. Both are great engines that with minimum maintenance go a long way. I think its a personal choice, i had both for a couple of years in a range Rover classic. I was very happy with both of them. Fuel consumprtion is great @8/9L per 100 km
