Will an intercooler and radiator from a 200 tdi engine fit and work in my 300tdi engine

Not sure on rad but intercoolers do swap, pipes are a bit twisted as intercooler outlets are slight different angles, main body is identical

The intercooler pipes are in a slightly different location and come out on a different angle, IMHO it's not worth trying to make it fit. I think the radiator also has pipe outlets in different places. There are more 300tdi intercoolers and radiators about secondhand due to the amount of disco 300tdis getting scrapped......

Thanks for all the information. The engine that is in my Defender has only got a standard radiator and the turbo is piped straight from the engine. I've got a mate with a 200 tdi rad and intercooler that I can have but after what you have said I think I'll look on eBay for a 300 tdi
