I have a Series 3 with a 200tdi in it. It ran ok for years but then started overheating. I’ve fitted an Ali rad, new Thermostat & water pump but still overheats after about 10 minutes. I’ve noticed the bottom rad hose seem tepid despite the top hose being red hot. Any suggestions welcome thanks

Ive got a 200Tdi in a Series 3, i need to replace the temp sensor as it is reading in the red, but not pressurising, which sensor tdi or S3?

Thanks for all the Pro's & con's, however back to the original question. Does anyone know of a Mechanic in the Worcestershire/Herefordshire area to fit a 200tdi?

Unfortunately N/A engine is shot, my mate has a 200tdi incl turbo in his 2A & everyone seems to think it is an easy conversion. I had picked up some diffs to be fitted but this was before I realised the engine was shot.

I thought the Turbo would fit with an exhaust conversion from the Abberly guy on ebay

Chunky, I'd like to help as much as possible, as I want to be able to understand the 200tdi for future probs, however if the only option was a pay to get it done then so be it. The n/a is running at the moment, but pressurising the oil I'd like to get the tdi in before the winter.

Sorry Strange days, I,m new to Forums, struggling to navigate my way around and don't know what I'm doing really. Only joined to get some help finding a recommended installer

Hi I have a Series 3 with an old n/a engine fitted in to it, I have picked up a discovery 1 200tdi engine, but have to work outside the house. I'm looking for someone to fit the 200tdi, in the Worcestershire/Herefordshire area, any suggestions
